Behind the Mask: Embracing Neurodiversity in Leadership | Lauren Sayer | TEDxMaldonWomen

Hello there! I am a neurodivergent leader, and no, my ADHD isn't my superpower - I am super, with or without it. Unseen, unspoken, we women often mask our neurodiversity. But it's time to change the narrative! Join me as I unmask my not-so-secret identity, share my journey through the struggle to leadership, and reveal the unvarnished reality behind the superhero façade. I never saw neurodivergent female leaders growing up - now, I'm stepping up to be one. As a woman navigating neurodivergence, I had no role models to look up to. Now, as a leader myself, I want to shed light on the importance of representation. We can only aspire to what we can see, so let's make the invisible visible. Let's create a space to acknowledge, respect, and celebrate neurodiversity. I am more than my ADHD. I'm resilient, powerful, and ready to inspire. It's time to unmask, share, and shine. Let's redefine leadership together! Educational leadership has always been at the heart and centre of Lauren's professional career. Lauren's recent roles have included Head of Education at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, where she championed the cause for world-class pedagogy and continuous learning for those students who could not attend school in a traditional setting. Lauren is now Executive Director Research and Innovation at Melbourne Girls Grammar School. She is developing best practice in learning technology, digital literacy, and building an evidence base for future-focused evidence-informed teaching and learning. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
