Managers are neurodivergent too! Training for neurodivergent managers
This training session is specifically for neurodivergent managers working in the museum sector (a formal diagnosis is not necessary). In this pilot session, we explore the needs of neurodivergent managers and offer practical techniques, ideas, and solutions to support them in their day-to-day work, as well as discussing effective tools to help them change practice within their organisations.
By the end of the session, attendees will:
- Feel affirmed as neurodivergent managers working within the museum sector
- Understand the underpinning legal framework relating to neurodivergent people working in the sector
- Have a number of practical ideas and techniques to manage their own work loads and that of their teams
- Have a number of practical ideas and techniques to help them to support their managers to understand how to manage in a neuro-affirming way.
The session will be neurodivergent led by a museum professional. There will be a mix of information, advice, and small group discussion. There will be time for questions.
