Communication isn’t just about getting your point across—it’s about mutual understanding. When different neurotypes communicate, process information, and express themselves in unique ways, a one-size-fits-all approach falls short.

Learning about different neurotypes is like learning about different cultures—it’s not about right or wrong, just different ways of thinking, communicating, and interpreting the world. When we take the time to understand these differences, we create stronger connections, reduce misunderstandings, and build more inclusive workplaces.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why did they take it that way?” or “How do I connect with them better?”—this webinar is for you.

Some topics we will cover:

  • Why do some people need time to process while others think out loud (and why both are right!)
  • How to spot and prevent communication breakdowns 
  • What “good communication” really means—when to say more, when to say less, and how to recognize the difference
  • Communication works both ways—it’s not just about talking but also about truly listening and adapting.
  • How learning about different neurotypes is like learning about different cultures—understanding and respect go a long way

Let’s rethink communication—not as a rigid set of rules, but as a flexible, inclusive approach that supports all your neurotypes.

Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants will:

  • Understand how different neurotypes communicate, process information, and interpret interactions.
  • Recognize how communication styles impact workplace relationships, collaboration, and psychological safety.
  • Identify common misunderstandings that arise between neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals and learn strategies to bridge the gap.
  • Explore how communication is a two-way street—shifting from expecting others to “fit in” to adapting and creating space for different styles.
  • Develop practical skills for adapting feedback, conversations, and work expectations to support diverse communication needs.
  • Reframe communication differences as cultural differences—neither right nor wrong, just different.

Outcomes:

After this session, participants will be able to:

  • Communicate more effectively with neurodivergent colleagues and clients by recognizing and respecting different communication styles.
  • Create a more inclusive workplace by reducing miscommunication and fostering environments where all neurotypes can thrive.
  • Give feedback and instructions in a way that resonates with diverse thinkers, reducing frustration and increasing clarity.
  • Recognize and challenge biases around communication norms that may unintentionally exclude neurodivergent individuals.
