Neuro-Inclusive Culture by Design

MELBOURNE

Why This Workshop?

Most Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) initiatives fail. They focus on surface-level 'awareness' while the organisational operating system remains hostile to difference. As a result, many leaders continue working inside systems that unintentionally exhaust and exclude their neurodivergent talent.

In the current climate, with critical skills shortages and new Psychosocial Hazard regulations (WorkSafe), relying on standard HR practices is no longer just ineffective - it is a liability. The way work is designed, performance is managed, and conversations are handled now directly impacts retention, risk, and performance.

This one-day intensive masterclass is not a 'Lunch and Learn.' It is a strategic intervention designed to audit your business, dismantle friction points, and equip your leaders with practical frameworks to manage high-potential, complex talent.

What You Will Learn (The ROI)

1. Mitigate Psychosocial Risk: Understand how everyday leadership behaviours, performance conversations, and work design can unintentionally create psychosocial risk, and how to adjust them to meet your organisation’s obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act and workplace mental health safety standards without adding complexity.

2. Stop the Attrition: Identify the "Exhaustion Funnel" - the hidden mechanism that burns out your most talented Neurodivergent staff - and learn how to dismantle it.

3. Kill the 'PIP' (Performance Improvement Plan): Learn why traditional Performance Improvement Plans often escalate anxiety and attrition for neurodivergent staff and replace high-conflict, high-risk PIPs with our proprietary Performance Development & Support (PDS) framework. Turn struggling staff into high performers through coaching, not condemnation.

4. Leadership Capability: Equip your leaders with the "Wobble Correction" scripts, the exact words to use when addressing performance gaps safely and effectively, supported by emotional intelligence skills that help leaders regulate their own responses and adapt their communication styles.

Exclusive Workshop Package: Drawmetrics™ Assessment & Private Coaching

To help you successfully translate executive theory into "Monday Morning" reality, every workshop registration explicitly includes both a personal psychometric report and an individual coaching session:

Included: 1 x Personalised Drawmetrics™ Psychometric Report, delivered via our special collaboration with Drawmetrics, AttituX, and Profile Coaching.
Included: 1 x 60-Minute Private Online Coaching Session with either Brooke Trenwith or Steph Sellar-Peam to analyse your results and build your custom action plan.

What is Drawmetrics™?

Drawmetrics™ is a new, validated psychometric tool that creates a comprehensive behavioural profile based entirely on drawings rather than traditional text-based questionnaires. By capturing objective data through drawing-based responses, it eliminates conscious response bias, providing a deeply accurate baseline to understand how your leadership style interacts with your organisation's operating system.

After your report is generated, you will meet online for a private, 60-minute strategy session with one of our expert facilitators to customise your workshop takeaways.
