SUMMARY:From Broke to Woke: A Skills Series Tracey Pinder | The School of Life SA
DESCRIPTION:Joining Tracey Pinder for Neurodiversity Pride Week is not just an event — it is an encounter with the skills that change everything. Over eight days from 11 to 17 June 2025\, Tracey takes her international audience from raw\, honest testimony to practical\, life-changing tools in a daily 45-minute coaching series built around the six skills that carried her from undiagnosed ADHD\, addiction\, and burnout to building a thriving\, SACE-accredited professional development organisation. Each session dives deep into one transformational skill — Self-Awareness\, Emotional Regulation\, Setting Boundaries\, Asking for Help\, Trusting God’s Process\, and Managing Your ADHD Brain — combining neuroscience\, personal story\, live practice exercises\, and reflection prompts designed for the neurodiverse brain. The series opens on 11 June with Tracey’s keynote\, From Broke to Woke\, and closes on 17 June with a full-series celebration and commissioning that sends every participant home with a 6-skill toolkit\, an anchor phrase for each skill\, and the unshakeable conviction that the same brain that broke them is the brain that can wake them. Whether you are newly diagnosed\, decades undiagnosed\, or simply someone who has spent too long fighting the brain you were born with\, this series was built for you.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity in the workplace- why it matters more than ever
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sarah Babb from Gordon Institute of Business Science will host a 90-minute online session during Neurodiversity Pride Week exploring neurodivergence in the workplace\, and why it matters now more than ever for business performance\, leadership and inclusion. Designed for business leaders\, HR executives and DEI practitioners\, the session will unpack the growing prevalence of neurodivergence\, the often-overlooked strengths linked to different ways of thinking\, and the organisational opportunities unlocked through more inclusive work practices. The discussion will move beyond awareness toward practical action\, exploring how leaders can create environments where different minds can contribute and thrive together. Dr Babb will be joined by a corporate DEI leader for a candid conversation on the realities\, challenges and possibilities of building truly neuroinclusive workplaces.
