What people say

Nothing but positive feedback from the event. Kelly was absolutely brilliant, he was so engaging and there were many takeaways from the talk. We received so many questions in the Q&A part of the event, which just shows the huge interest in our colleagues wanting to find out more about Neurodiversity.

Kelly delivered a really fantastic session yesterday! His talk was super engaging, clear and really insightful. We’ve had lots of great feedback come through already and the Teams chat was alive with discussion so it was fantastic to see that so many people found the conversation insightful and thought-provoking. The session was exactly what we were looking to achieve in terms of helping people to think openly about how we shift our customer experiences to make them more accessible and inclusive. So really big thank you to Kelly!
