I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the lovely Jen Robinson, Employee Experience Consultant from The Team, for their ‘I’m with the Brand’ podcast series, talking about what kind of things leadership teams can do to keep getting better at supporting their neurodivergent employees, along with my own experiences of being neurodivergent.

I provided comment in this article on my thoughts on the support given at work to employees living with invisible disabilities:

Julie White, workplace wellbeing consultant and founder of Bright White Life – Coaching and Training, explained that, in real terms, budget cuts often mean resources are stretched and workloads are increased, “which is the most common cause of stress at work”.

As “many less visible disabilities impact on energy levels and mental cognition – being mindful of this when distributing work, and checking in regularly with employees is key”, she advised.

I provided comment in this article on my thoughts in regard to the new government review into supporting autistic people into work:

Julie White, workplace wellbeing consultant at Bright White Life, advised people professionals to use workplace assessments “as part of onboarding, encouraging everyone to share what works best for them, such as environment, management and communication style”.

“This can then be reviewed both before and when changes arise, so existing employees are also included,” said White, who added that this can help remove any challenges that arise from change and help ensure neurodiverse employees feel “supported and considered”.

As one of the coaches in The Coaching Crowd Business Lounge, I took part in The Coaching Summit 2022 delivering a session focused on Wellbeing and how you can find ways to support your own wellbeing. I introduce my Wheel of Wellbeing tool, as well as share my own story of wellness and enquiry questions to support your wellbeing growth.

In this episode, Mark Smith invites me to share insights into how to create a healthy and inclusive working culture around mental health in the workplace as well as top tips and coping strategies to help you manage mental health and stress levels.
