Are you tapping into all of the talent that's available to you? There might be hidden talent among your staff that's right in front of you. For too long, neurodivergent individuals have been expected to adapt to traditional norms, limiting their contributions. It's time to rethink how you recruit and retain.

Drop the orange paint. Don't focus on being a good fit. Focus on being true to yourself; an ocean of opportunities awaits your individuality and all that makes you who you are. True diversity and inclusion require companies to think bigger than their existing fishbowl. #selfrespect #outgrowthefishbowl #individuality #growthmindset #diversityofthought

Thanks Zena Collins for a wonderful article on the importance of inclusion and how we can all cultivate Ubuntu by practicing the hard skills of emotional intelligence!

Evidence Based Inclusion means you don’t have to argue. The research argues for you. The stakeholders argue for you. The organisation argues for you. Don’t get into arguments. Once people know you’ve got a process that includes them. They are less inclined to argue. They are more inclined to help. Let your process bring everyone along. Our process is Evidence Based Inclusion. Let me help you bring this to your workplace. Check out my featured section to make this happen. With me. By yourself. It’s your choice. PS. No matter what you decide… you win! 

Is it possible to become more considerate of others? Can we truly put ourselves in others' shoes and think about the good of all? These questions frequently occupy my thoughts, especially in the face of economic hardship, busy schedules, increased stress, and the frustrations of meeting our goals. But consider this: if we were more considerate of each other, wouldn't life be easier for everyone? Respect for one another is a crucial element in achieving this. By fostering a culture of consideration, we can create a more compassionate and harmonious society. If you'd like to learn more about building a Culture of Consideration, please get in touch. This is my mission. Lady Jane Ndukwe #LadyJaneRespects

I’m keen to share this far and wide. It applies to all organisations, not just schools. Many of your colleagues will have hidden talents and strengths which could bring higher-performance but also a happier, healthier workforce in general. But do they feel safe enough to disclose their traits, or are they masking them in order to avoid judgement? I would love to hear your experiences of neurodiversity in your workplaces (past or present)… #neurodiversity #inclusion #leadership #psychologicalsafety

Embracing Emotional Intelligence and Inclusivity At TSW Wordsmith, LLC, we believe that true progress comes from understanding and addressing the underlying pain behind hate and prejudice. As James Baldwin wisely noted, "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." By cultivating emotional intelligence (EI), we can foster self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy, allowing us to move beyond hate and build deeper connections. Our commitment to inclusivity means actively addressing systemic injustices and creating environments where every individual feels valued and heard. Join us in our mission to create a more emotionally intelligent and inclusive workplace. Together, we can make a difference. 🌍💡 #EmotionalIntelligence #Inclusivity #Compassion #Diversity #Healing #Leadership #CompanyValues

From the desk of Dr. Gerilyn Davis: Happy Wednesday to you! What a joy to wake up and see another day.  The main objective of the SWORD Inclusion system is to foster an environment that produces an inclusion system while cultivating an inclusive organizational culture. When we can fully assess every aspect of who we are and the organization through an inclusive lens, we notice the endless opportunities an inclusive culture provides. --- We plan inclusion efforts within all aspects of an organizational structure (marketing, strategy, operations, and finances). --- We set the tone by making inclusion an agenda item. It’s the culture. Thus, it becomes a standard. --- We hold ourselves accountable to be inclusive as a collective. So, we're open to having character-building talks. These are just a few examples of what it means to create inclusive cultures. What once seemed impossible begins to be possible! Wow, it gets good at this point. Maximize the day! #joyofinclusion #inclusionexpansion #inclusiveculture #inclusionontheslopes #SWORDInclusionSystem #PhaseThreeOpportunityPlanning
