March, Forward View this email in your browser
Do you feel it too? This season, people are marching to a different beat, going against the status quo and insisting on progressive changes in many aspects of life. For the first time that I can remember, the movie theatres have been packed with excitement for a film in which gender and racial equality are explicit and on display without apology. Black Panther has been called “Revolutionary” by Rolling Stone magazine. “Black Panther is the grown-up Marvel movie we’ve been waiting for,” says TheVerge.com.

My Favourite Word of 2018 so far: Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is a hot topic, and that tells me we really are living in a time of incredible change. I’m thrilled and fascinated by the growing inclusion movement, for people who have been denied meaningful employment due to perceived intellectual differences. Neurodiversity refers to neurological differences such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD), being on the autism spectrum and dyslexia, and how people with those labels have so much to offer in the workplace too. Have a look at this article that explains Neurodiversity in more detail. Let’s Talk! The places where we work are changing, and so are the faces of the people you will find within the workforce. Navigating these changes can be exciting for some and bring out anxiety and fear in others. If the new workplace realities are bringing you down instead of up, some career coaching (or HR services) might be the answer. Whether you are interested in improving your own career or strengthening your team, you’re in the right place.
