Past Events

Hire Weird, Win Big – Practical benefits of supporting Neurodiverse Talent

Wednesday, June 7 2026 | 12:00PM-1:00PM MST

You can’t have diversity of thought without diversity of brains!

This session is not your typical educational seminar for leaders. Rather, this session will challenge some common assumptions of team management and talk about why those norms need to be challenged. We’ve had data for years showing at least 15-20% of the world is Neurodivergent, yet the majority of management tools and techniques that exist don’t account for the variety of people, brains, needs and strengths in a Neurodiverse room. As the world moves faster, teams are constantly under strain to perform better, work faster and find new ways to solve problems. How can that be successful if the tools being used are at the best, unhelpful, and at the worst, harmful, to 1/5th of the team?

It’s not Attitude – It’s Dysregulation

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 | 12:00PM-1:00PM MST

What if many of the negative labels assigned in life (lazy, distracted, rude etc) were actually signs of dysregulation?

In this Webinar, Allana & Shoshana will provide a behaviorally based perspective on those who are chronically overwhelmed, short on time or always seem to be struggling. As Neurodivergent facilitators with lived & learned experience, these two amazing people will help attendees learn the science behind dysregulation, how it impacts Neurodivergent and Neurotypical brains, and tools/language to use that can make a real difference.

Beyond Inclusion – The Real Returns of Embracing Neurodiversity

Divergents Unmasked LIVE

Tues-Wed, February 24-25 2026 | 10-7GMT Online

22+ queer and neurodivergent experts. 17+ hours of content. One community.

You finally got a diagnosis – or found the label that fit – and for a moment everything made sense. So you went looking for and found the autism or ADHD spaces or hung with your OCD or bipolar sisters. Perhaps you tried the mental health garden clubs too.  And somehow the knowledge shared still didn’t quite fit.

Because being queer and neurodivergent means you’re living at an intersection that isn’t one label plus another. It’s its own thing entirely. And most content – even the good stuff – isn’t built for your entire identity at once.

This is: Divergents Unmasked – The Vault

Demystifying Neurodiversity: Moving past buzzwords to Real Experiences

Wednesday, February 18 2026 | 12:00PM-1:00PM MST

This introductory webinar is designed to help individuals better understand neurodiversity and its impact on/in the people around them. We’ll begin by exploring the concept of neurodiversity—recognizing and valuing the natural variations in how people think, learn, and process information. Allana will then offer brief, relatable introductions to ADHD and Autism, focusing on lived experiences rather than clinical definitions. You’ll hear real stories that illustrate how these differences show up in everyday work life, with a focus on recognizing and understanding those behaviors for what they are – natural variations in humans!
