N is for Neurodiversity

In this episode we chat with Alison Wombwell, a Neurodiversity specialist, about how she was introduced to design thinking by Lucy, and why she then knew that design thinking needed to be part of the on-going support she now provides to female neurodivergent business owners as they start and grow their own business'.
A slight deviation from the norm for us, but then isn't that what design thinking is all about?!
Originally a client of Lucy's, they now run the NeurOkay program together via Flourish Unlimited. The NeurOkay program is created with design thinking at it's core, and Alison explains how design thinking provided her with several lightbulb moments as a neurodivergent business owner.
NeurOkay provides a blend of executive functioning and emotional regulation that supports clients in the moment, alongside creative business growth exercises that reduce associated overwhelm, and enable individuals to plan, start, and continue to develop their business, without falling foul of procrastination or being 'busy' rather than productive.
Alison then shares her insight regarding late-diagnosis, the presentation of neurodiverse conditions, and how the pandemic may have actually resulted in a greater number of people seeking diagnosis and support.
Filled with wisdom and sensitivity, whether you are neurodiverse or neurotypical, there's learning moments a-plenty in this episode.
Take a listen and better understand how the creativity and flexibility provided by design thinking will benefit you, regardless of who you are or how your brain works.
