Patricia has brought to us as a chapter and to me more personally so much knowledge and value regarding Autism, especially that Autism still has a lot of misconceptions in the region. Moreover, she is very helpful, flexible and very organised, she was able to deliver the workshop with simplicity and passion. She supported her workshop with useful informatics and insights. Basically one of the smoothest and informative workshops conducted though our chapter, and honestly would love to work with her in more depth regarding ‘business on the autistic spectrum’

Building a Diverse and
Inclusive Workplace

Today’s workforce is increasingly diverse, with thriving teams attracting employees who can be their authentic selves at work, bringing the best of their backgrounds, identities and unique abilities with them every day.

The key to inclusive workplaces with engaged workforces is understanding and connection starting with education and awareness. Building a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace is a three-part course for employees at all levels.

  • Module 1: Understanding unconscious bias
  • Module 2: Workplace culture and sensitivities
  • Module 3: Creating a physiologically safe workplace

Note: Training presented in conjunction with Liz Nair, Attivo Consulting

I recently attended Patricia Falcetta’s online neurodiversity workshop and I must say it was an incredibly informative and helpful experience. The information presented was concise yet thorough, and the relevance of the topic was evident throughout the session. As someone who is neurodiverse myself, I found the insights shared to be particularly valuable. Patricia was an engaging and knowledgeable speaker, and her passion for the subject matter shone through in her presentation. Overall, I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of neurodiversity and how it impacts individuals in various areas of life.

We found the Mindset Shifts presentation most informative.  Staff commented on how the presentation has created more awareness around what nuances to look out for and how easily certain presumptions can be made regards certain behaviours. It was thought provoking and created a new found awareness.

Thank you so much for attending James Ruse on Thursday. Both the teachers and our students have said how informative, interesting and reverential your presentations and Q&A sessions on neurodiversity were. Some points of highlight for the students were their interest in the scientific explanation of neurodiversity and the brain, the ability to ask questions and feel part of the experience and the way in which you discussed neurodiversity as a collective experience, making those who are neurodivergent feel a greater sense of belonging and those who know neurodivergent people understand more about their behaviours, feelings and executive functioning. 

 

I am hopeful that we will have more opportunities to work together in the future on our shared mission for creating inclusive, safe, respectful, educated and understanding environments for us ‘neurospicy’ folk.
