Professor Amanda Kirby is an academic, professor, author, medical practitioner, and the CEO/ co-founder of Do-IT Solutions. Having authored nine books and published over one-hundred academic research papers, Professor Kirby is a leading expert in the field of neurodiversity. In this episode of Newton Talks, she sits down with Newton’s very own Ed Bailey, Business Manager across Local and Central Government and co-founder of Newton’s Disability Network, to unpack what neurodiversity really means. They discuss moving beyond the neurodivergent-neurotypical divide, to an understanding that all human minds are different in their own way. The two discuss neurodiversity in the workplace and how businesses can do better at championing diversity of thought. Amanda and Ed really delve into the different ways of thinking, moving, acting, processing, and communicating that exist all around us. It's a real lesson in respectful curiosity and in how to be more understanding of this human variability so that as leaders, we can be sure everyone’s in an environment where they can succeed. Newton is an implementation-focussed consultancy with a difference, brimming with people who have a passion for cracking really knotty problems.
