    S3E15: The Neurodiverse Workplace: Unleashing Potential

    In this enlightening episode of the Purpose podcast, we delve into the complexities of neurodiversity in the workplace with guest Shamus Hart, a UX consultant and passionate advocate for neurodivergent individuals. Shamus shares his personal experiences, busts common myths, and provides valuable insights into the social model of disability and the unique strengths neurodivergent individuals bring to the table. Join us as we explore the nuances of neurodiversity, discuss the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in traditional work environments, and uncover how companies can create more inclusive and supportive workplaces that celebrate and leverage the talents of all employees. Key Points Discussed: Neurodiversity: It's about the natural variation in how people's brains work, encompassing conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc. It's not a trend or a label to be adopted lightly; it's about recognising and valuing neurological differences. Many neurodivergent individuals possess unique strengths and talents that can benefit the workplace. Busting Myths: Invisible disabilities are real disabilities and should be recognised as such. Not all neurodivergent individuals have savant skills. Neurodiversity is not linked to psychopathy or sociopathy. Self-diagnosis is often a valid first step, especially given long wait times for formal assessments. The Social Model of Disability: Society creates barriers for people with disabilities, not the individual's condition itself. Workplaces can often be disabling for neurodivergent individuals due to factors like sensory overload. Simple and affordable accommodations can make a big difference. Generalist vs. Specialist Mindset: Neurotypical individuals tend to have a more generalised skill set, while neurodivergent individuals often excel in specific areas (spiky skill set). Workplaces should recognise and leverage the strengths of neurodivergent individuals. The Spectrum of Neurodiversity: Neurodivergent conditions are not a matter of being "a little bit more or a little bit less." It's about a mix of hyper- and hypo-sensitivities, leading to unique strengths and challenges. Differences in Empathy: Neurodivergent individuals may have different empathy profiles compared to neurotypicals. They may struggle with cognitive empathy (perspective-taking) but excel in affective empathy (feeling with others) and empathetic concern (taking action to help). Overall, the conversation highlighted the importance of understanding and valuing neurodiversity in the workplace. By recognising the unique strengths and challenges of neurodivergent individuals, we can create more inclusive and supportive environments where everyone can thrive.

    Welcome back to our Purpose Podcast, where we tackle the conversations that matter. In this episode, we're diving into a topic close to our hearts – NAIDOC Week. But we're not here to celebrate. We're here to challenge. Today, we are joined by a proud Aboriginal man, Mark Beetson. Mark is a seasoned Aboriginal Participation Manager with a proven track record in the construction and civil infrastructure sectors and non-profit organisations. His expertise spans negotiation, coaching, contractor management, event planning, and team development. Mark is a skilled business developer and strategist, specialising in Aboriginal participation and creating pathways of engagement that benefit all involved. As an experienced consultant, he works strategically to develop sustainable and lasting opportunities for communities. NAIDOC Week, a time to celebrate and recognise the histories, cultures, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, often feels like a token gesture in many workplaces. We see brief acknowledgements, themed morning teas, and maybe a flag-raising, but what happens when the week is over? Does the commitment to Indigenous cultures disappear with the decorations? We believe it's time for a change. It's time to move beyond performative actions and make NAIDOC Week a catalyst for real, lasting change. It's time to make NAIDOC Week every week. (2:51) Overview of Mark Beetson's role and its impact on the community. (9:13) How other businesses can prioritise and integrate Aboriginal participation and engagement.

(21:42) Key issues to address for improving opportunities and support for Aboriginal communities. (23:58) Practical tips for small organisations to start engaging with Aboriginal communities.
