#80: Janette Beetham - Embracing Neurodiversity

Janette Beetham is the Founding Director of Right Resources - an organization striving for a thriving and productive neurodiverse workforce. Having struggled with certain tasks without knowing why, Janette discovered she had dyslexia in her 30’s. This inspired her to learn more about the neurodivergent world and to support those with neurodivergent conditions (I.e. those that process information differently compared to the neurotypical population). This conversation covers a brief definition of the most common neurodivergent conditions before discussing why many go undiagnosed and why many do not inform their employers about their condition. We then move on to the crucial work that Janette and Right Resources are doing regarding neurodiversity in the workforce, including the training and accreditation programme titled Dyslexia Champions. We learned so much from this episode and I’m sure you will too! Janette is a very kind soul and we were very grateful to have her on!

This will be our final podcast of the year - we are taking a well-needed pause. Thanks for your support and we’ll be back in the new year with new vitality!
