Neurodiversity is more than a buzzword—it reflects the natural diversity of human thinking, learning, and processing. Legal marketers often find themselves baffled by the way lawyers think and operate. Sometimes that dynamic stems from a clash in roles or a lack of professional training, but sometimes it may also reflect the broader spectrum of neurodiverse perspectives present in every workplace. In this webinar hosted by the LMA DEI SIG, we’ll explore what neurodiversity means, how it manifests in professional environments, and the unique strengths and challenges it brings.

As communicators and culture builders, we play a vital role in creating spaces where neurodivergent colleagues feel seen, supported, and set up for success. Join us to learn practical ways to foster understanding, connection, and a culture that celebrates difference as a driver of innovation and growth.

Learning Outcomes:

• Define neurodiversity and describe how it influences communication, collaboration, and workplace dynamics in professional services firms. 
• Recognize common traits, strengths, and challenges of neurodivergent colleagues to build empathy and reduce misunderstanding. 
• Apply practical strategies to create inclusive environments that support diverse thinking styles and leverage neurodiversity as a catalyst for innovation and team performance.
