Did you know that 20% of the population is neurodiverse? Diverse teams are more creative, innovative, and productive. In a time when society needs innovation the most, our next webinar host Ronan McGovern says that there is an untapped, invisible talent pool employers have yet to embrace. Biases operate at every level of organisations, and it is in the hands of directors and managers to create businesses that are sustainable and reflect the society they serve.

This webinar is presented by Ronan McGovern of AIB. Ronan trained at PWC Dublin and New York. While a student at Stanford Business School a doctor classmate identified his ADHD and he was diagnosed in Palo Alto by an Educational Psychologist.
In 2019 Ronan worked as a scholar at Stanford Medical School on its Neurodiversity Project. While there, he advocated with many US corporations and at Stanford’s seven schools.
In July and August 2020, he initiated a project in collaboration with Stanford Business School recruiting 80 fellow volunteers. On 2 September 2020, they published their landmark Stanford Rebuild Report, which can be viewed at the NDGiFTSMovement.com  website.
