“With the vast amount of professional development experiences available for schools today, it is rare to find a workshop experience tailored to a school’s specific context, students and faculty. As a workshop facilitator, Lucy impressed me with the research she conducted beforehand to understand who we are and our unique needs, ensuring her presentation was tailored to us.
Lucy then went on to build a training experience on the latest thinking in neurodiversity that was engaging, hands-on and inspiring.
Grounded in best-practice research, the presentation brought about many “aha moments” for our staff, with one key takeaway being the power of vulnerability in the face of new learning.
Lucy’s work as a consultant and facilitator at MYIS speaks for itself in the continued reflections and actions of our teaching teams, ensuring high-quality learning for ALL”
expert speaker for organisations and schools across the world:
As well as Lucy’s years as a therapist, coach and consultant, she is also a trained speech and language therapist with clinical experience and a deep understanding, nuanced and affirming of neurodiversity. She presents boldly and energetically, showcasing the latest research and thinking surrounding the Neurodiversity Paradigm, which represents a vital and radical shift in awareness on this topic.
Lucy’s work is valued by organisations who want to support and affirm their neurodivergent people and increase understanding of this key DEIB area in their teams. Participants will leave with their beliefs challenged and a vastly deepened awareness, all the while being held in a psychologically safe learning space where compassion and understanding abounds.
Lucy is an experienced and engaging speaker. She is the host of an Apple Top 10 podcast ‘Self-Sabotage To Success’ and a regular guest on popular podcasts.
Lucy is a Brit who has lived in the United States, Europe and now resides in SE Asia with her family.
