Workplace Application:
You will learn how to transform a commitment to cognitive diversity into a culture of cognitive inclusion. 

When it comes to cognitive diversity, business leaders often talk a good game. Few, however, are equipped to successfully manage teams of people who “think different,” and the business case for cognitive diversity rarely addresses fears raised by workplace nonconformity. In this session, we will debunk myths surrounding non-conformers, learn to recognize natural barriers to cognitive inclusion and develop strategies to revive creativity, inspire innovation and attract the kind of talent your future needs.
