Presentation to deliver at work or a best man speech? But you struggled to write speech out by hand and then learn it traditionally? Then don’t. Think about your speech while driving the car, having a shower, riding a motorbike. Talking out loud will give you a feel for how it will sound to your audience. Then use the audio notes app on your phone to record some initial ideas. Start making bullet points – you will be surprised how the speech starts to fall out of you and you can use the bullet points as prompts to refine your speech. This is how I approach my speechwriting now. Maybe a few scraps note here and there then work though it in my head, speaking out loud and refine it from there
Episode 59 – Coaching, and Neurodiversity Policies for Businesses with Mark Woodward
In this podcast episode, Matthew and Mark Woodward from neurobox discuss indirect support for individuals with dyslexia. The focus is on training middle managers in organizations to effectively lead people with neurodiversity, like dyslexia. This approach goes beyond legal compliance, delving into understanding the unique needs of neurodiverse individuals and providing appropriate support. Dyslexic thinking and problem-solving methods, often unconventional, are highlighted. Supportive leaders create an environment where neurodiverse team members thrive and feel understood, reducing the burden of hiding their challenges. Remaining curious and open-minded as leaders alleviates pressure and encourages collaboration, optimizing dyslexic strengths. Mark, a seasoned coach, shares his expertise in coaching and training individuals, teams, and managers to empower those with neurodiversities. Having similar traits to dyslexia himself, Mark’s dedication to supporting neurodiverse individuals stems from personal connection.
