Event description
Did you know that while only 20% of the U.S. population is neurodiverse, a remarkable 55% of surveyed business owners are neurodiverse? Despite facing higher unemployment rates compared to their non-neurodiverse counterparts, many individuals on the neurodiverse spectrum are driven to entrepreneurship. This may be due in part to the unique strengths they bring, such as creativity, attention to detail, and innovative, outside-the-box thinking.
Whether you have the multitasking, colorful thinking often associated with ADHD, the visual and 3D mechanical skills of those with dyslexia, or the deep concentration and detail processing found in autism (among other forms of neurodivergence), this class is for you. We will explore how neurodiversity fuels entrepreneurship and how you can leverage your strengths to succeed in business.
Join us for an empowering exploration of neurodiversity in entrepreneurship. Through practical tips on communication, environmental adjustments, and self-care, you’ll learn how to harness your unique abilities to start or grow your business. Taught from a first-hand perspective, this class celebrates the skills shared by some of the world’s most influential entrepreneurs throughout history.
Whether you’re an experienced business owner or just starting out, this session is designed to help all entrepreneurs—neurodiverse or not—thrive. We believe that each individual brings something valuable to the table, and we’re committed to creating an environment that supports everyone. This class is for all entrepreneurs who are ready to grow, learn, and embrace their unique perspectives. Let’s build a brighter future together, recognizing and celebrating the diverse strengths we each bring to the entrepreneurial journey.
