Title of your talk: The £3.5M Neurodiversity Fix: Stop Losing Talent

Seminar Description: Your organisation is haemorrhaging money through neurodivergent employee turnoverand you might not even realise it. The average mid-sized company loses £350,000 annually when neurodivergent hires leave within six months. Scale that up, and you're burning millions on a revolving door of brilliant minds who could have transformed your business. This keynote reveals why "diversity and inclusion" initiatives fail, what genuine belonging costs (and creates), and the five-pillar framework that turns neurodivergent retention from your biggest expense into your competitive advantage. Real transformation stories. Proven ROI. Actionable systems you can implement immediately. Because neurodiversity isn't something to manage it's competitive advantage to leverage.
