💡#DyslexicThinking is vital in today's workplace and it's one of the top in-demand skills, according to LinkedIn… But do organisations and employees understand and value Dyslexic Thinking? Our new research with LinkedIn finds: 👎 Only 1 in 5 dyslexics believe their organisation understands their Dyslexic Thinking strengths. 👍 87% of dyslexics think their organisation needs a better understanding of dyslexia. That's why I'm excited to have created brand new workplace training, in partnership with LinkedIn Learning that will be FREE to EVERY organisation at the end of October's #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth. 👀 Read my blog below to learn more. ✅ Sign up to take the free "Empowering Dyslexic Thinking in the workplace” training when it's launched in October. #Dyslexia #DyslexiaAwareness

1 in 5, more like 1 in 50. We suffer a lot of prejudice and negative assumptions from HR and middle managers. However, senior level are more switched on. We recently launched a course in improving dimensional thinking skills called THINK LIKE A DYSLEXIC. We did some research. • HR comments were "Why would you do that?" Negative and prejudice. • General C-Suite - "Interesting. My staff certainly could improve their thinking skills." Curious, open-minded. • MD/CEOs who are dyslexic - "Yes, please. I need to have more people who think like me around here. It would make us more competitive." Got it straight away. We do not get into the area of D&I and educating people about dyslexia, instead, we push the talent story and seek to help companies think better and help those less able to think like us.
