It started just before Christmas 2024, when I decided to see if Growing Talent‘s Orientation Week and the new Talent Hub resource could gain The CPD Certification Service

Certification gives a strong level of confidence that the learning delivered meets a professional level – and for the unemployed people I work with – a certified certificate – which means a lot!

After a lot of guidance from the The CPD Certification Service team, and some tweaking, certification came through in January 2025 for both the Orientation Week and the Talent Hub.

Neurodivergence and how not to handle it is something I see in diverse workplaces a lot.

Individuals may not even realise they are neurodivergent.

Assessment in the UK can be up to seven years depending on location. Even when assessment has taken place, recognising how their neurodivergence shows up and how they can tame it is often out of reach. This then impacts everything and everyone around them – but it doesn’t have to be so.

This is where 1:1 coaching is key. Simple strategies and steps can be learnt to work with their brain rather than against it. Employers can fund this type of coaching as part of their reasonable adjustments.

In the workplace symptoms can be mistaken for ‘bad attitude’ which can lead to a whole heap of issues.

As a certified ADHD Coach and Certified NeuroAffirmative workplace wellbeing practitioner I wrote two seminars, one for managers the other on how colleagues can be allies.

Both teach what you might see, how to approach, language to use, what you might do to build more cohesive, thriving teams.

Certification came through this morning for both seminars!

Delivered over 1.5 hours virtually with a The CPD Certification Service certificate of completion and an e-workbook for onward learning and reflection, workplaces can now secure this training confidently.

How do you ensure your teams are comfortable and confident in this important area?
