Anyone who knows me knows that one of the things I care very deeply about is diversity. I can’t tell you how privileged I feel to be able to dive into the arena of neurodiversity in leadership this week. Shirley Woods-Gallagher is a brilliantly intelligent, visionary leader and she’s very recently had her identify confirmed as autistic. Shirley has taken the brave step to talk about this publicly and she’s determined she’s going to give everything she’s got to make change happen. Click the pic to read more……

In this risk averse world that we live in where we seek control and fear things going wrong, our approach to risk management can be a really critical enabler to a strengths based approach. If you are an employee in an organisation, asking you to take this approach without being clear on how we manage risk will leave you feeling vulnerable and psychologically unsafe.

Shefali Kapoor is Head of Neighbourhoods and the most senior BAME officer within Manchester City Council. She’s grounded, a grafter, and when she makes up her mind she’s going to do something, she’s not afraid to put in the graft to make it happen. Daughter of first generation immigrants, her Dad has clearly been a big source of inspiration to Shefali. Click on the pic to find out more about what makes Shefali great at making change happen….
