Diversity & Inclusion Talks
J is a very positive role model and having worked with him before I can confirm that he is very passionate about inclusion of neurodiversity. He is an inspiring speaker using a mixture of his lived experiences as well as facts and figures so he appeals to a wide range of people. J is also extremely empathetic meaning that people open up to him and share their own lived experiences and I highlight recommend him as an expert speaker on the topic
