I had the privilege of organising and attending Kate Hardiman’s ‘Neurodiversity in the Workplace’ presentation here at ANSTO, and it was truly outstanding. Kate demonstrated a profound understanding of neurodiversity and a genuine commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces.
Kate’s program was both informative and insightful, offering practical strategies for organisations to embrace neurodiversity. Her ability to foster and guide inclusive and meaningful conversations among attendees was truly remarkable. Facilitating constructive dialogue, she enabled an invaluable exchange of ideas, leading to a successful event.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kate Hardiman as a facilitator for any organisation seeking to deepen its understanding of neurodiversity and promote inclusivity in the workplace. Her expertise and passion are evident in her impactful contributions to this important conversation.
