Shownotes Transcript

Back in Episode 335, I published an interview where we talked about Neurodiversity in the workplace. The episode generated a lot of interest, and many organisations got in touch with me to share their stories. One that really stood out was a non-profit called Creative Spirit), which helps create integrated employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Creative Spirit is doing some vital work, and I'm delighted that their Co-Founder Laurel Rossi )joins me as my guest this week.

In the interview, we discuss:

   ▪   Creative Spirit's backstory and purpose

   ▪   Being a genuinely inclusive employer and how the pandemic is changing everything

   ▪   Busting the myths about employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities

   ▪   Success stories and shout outs

   ▪   Advice to Talent Acquisition Leaders

   ▪   How to get involved with Creative Spirit
