WIRED DIFFERENTLY  is an interactive online course that explores the different ways we can create a team culture where all neurotypes are invited, encouraged, and affirmed. 

Neurodiversity is about recognising and respecting the natural variations in human brain functioning. It challenges the traditional view that certain neurological conditions, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others, are mere deficits or disorders. Instead, neurodiversity emphasises that these differences are part of the normal spectrum of human diversity and should be valued as unique ways of experiencing and interacting with the world.

The beauty of neurodiversity lies within its core principle: the celebration of how we are all wired differently. 

Have you ever stopped to consider the value of these differences, not just in the broader context of human experience, but specifically within the workplace? 

When we embrace neurodiversity, we 

• invite inclusivity and equality into the workplace 

• see the strengths and potential of every individual, regardless of their neurological makeup

• encourage and celebrate different perspectives, problem-solving skills, and unique contributions, which can spark innovation and creativity

• also cultivate team dynamics that thrive on empathy and collaboration

About the course:

Facilitated by Hum collaborator, Lana Jelenjev, co-founder of the Neurodiversity Foundation and Neurodiversity Education Academy. Lana has been advocating for neuro affirming and neurodiversity friendly spaces for the past 7 years. She is the co-author of “What’s Strong With You? and  “What’s Alive in You?” toolkits for coaches, teachers, leaders, and facilitators to bridge the gap for all neurotypes to thrive.  The course has four core components:

• Session 1: What’s Strong With Us? Moving from Pathogenic to Salutogenic Approaches

• Session 2: What’s Alive in Us? Supporting Interest-Based Nervous Systems in the Workplace

• Session 3: What’s Resilient in Us? Amplifying HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) in the Workplace

• Session 4: Bridging the Gap: Fostering a Culture of Belonging Where All Neurotypes Thrive

Participants are asked to take the (FREE) Pre-Session “From the Golden Rule to the Platinum Rule:The Importance of Neurodiversity in the Workplace” on September 24 or to view the recording of the session. 

How it works:

The course is both theoretical and practice-driven. You’ll spend time listening, reflecting, sharing, and working together on different tools . 

Through personal and collective reflection, you’ll 

• gain a better understanding of neurodiversity and why it’s valuable in the workplace

• learn different tools and frameworks that you can easily apply not only in the working environment but also in relating with others

• practice new ways of engaging with team members from a salutogenic perspective

• get inspiration and feedback from the facilitator and other people in the cohort
