Workshop for managers

Neuroinclusive leadership workshop for managers

Managers are told to be inclusive and rarely given the tools. In half a day, your managers practise what to say and do when someone is masking, overloaded or asking for an adjustment, without having to become clinicians or lawyers.

Silvan Ruthenberg has delivered this workshop to about 150 United Internet leaders, in German and English.

What the workshop covers

  1. Recognising patterns without diagnosing: attention, communication, sensory load and executive function at work, described in neutral language.
  2. Designing work and communication for different brains: meetings, written briefs, workload and focus time, without undermining fairness.
  3. Disclosure and adjustments: what to do when someone shares a diagnosis, or clearly struggles without one, and when to involve HR.
  4. Performance or environment: telling misconduct from a poor fit between the person and the work, and documenting decisions fairly.
