What you’ll learn

Join IPSE member Simon Akers for a fireside chat around the advantages and challenges of being self-employed and neurodivergent. Simon, a self-employed marketing strategist, IPSE member, and advocate for neurodiversity in business, was diagnosed with ADHD once he became self-employed. He then created Neurodiversity in Media: The 4S Manifesto (Systems, Spaces, Safety & Support) to help companies represent the neurodiverse in the workplace. 

Whether you’re self-employed, managing a neurodivergent team, or want to build a more inclusive setting, join this fireside chat for real-life insights. 

In this fireside chat, hosted by IPSE’s Managing Director Vicks Rodwell, hear Simon’s thoughts on: 

  • How the 4S Manifesto can lead to a more inclusive and supportive work environment
  • Common workplace design mistakes
  • The unique challenges of self-employment for neurodivergent people
  • Ways AI tools can support neurodivergent ways of thinking and working
  • Why inclusive culture is good for business
