Lens Not Label: A Conversational Guide for Working More Effectively with Neurodivergent People

By Nathan Whitbread, Claire Pedrick, Kimberly Ann Witten PhD

Do less for people. Do more with them.

This is a book for managers, leaders and coaches who want to overcome their discomfort and fear when working with neurodivergent people, and who know that difference is rocket-fuel for organisations.

If you want the confidence to truly connect -- without labels, jargon and clunky models -- this book offers fresh and effective ways of working with neurodiverse talent.

You don't have to know everything, you just have to be willing to see things differently.

Claire Pedrick, Kim Witten and Nathan Whitbread are neurodivergent professionals. They share a mission to raise awareness, simplify communication, and effect positive change in the way people interact in the workplace and beyond. Claire is an experienced coach and the author of Simplifying Coaching and co-author of the award-winning The Human Behind The Coach, Kim has a PhD in linguistics and has studied language and human behaviour for over two decades, and Nathan has extensive experience helping organisations become more ND friendly plus thousands of hours of coaching, consulting and supporting ND people at work.
