Neurobelonging™
Keynote Speaker
By 2030, Millennials and GenZ will primary make up the workforce. Recent research has shown that HALF of millennials identify as disabled (apparent and non-apparent disabilities) and HALF of GenZ identifies as neurodivergent (as in diverging from neuronormative standards).
The future of work has to include policies and strategies that prioritize neurodiversity-affirming practices, neuroinclusion, and inclusive design. The result will be cultures of NEUROBELONGING, where employees of all neurotypes can thrive and rise.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, neurodiversity and neuroqueer coach, professional public speaker, author, and AuDHD mom with a neurodivergent family, Pasha Marlowe can speak on a variety of topics for neurodiverse audiences, including small and large organizations.
*Neurobelonging: Expanding the DEIB space through the lens of neurodiversity and neuroinclusion
*The Future of Work is Neuroinclusion and Neurobelonging
*Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices at work and home
*Neuroqueering: Neuronormativity and Heteronormativity
*Neurodivergent Umbrella: Beyond ADHD/Autism/Trauma
*Neurodivergent relationships and intimacy
*Neurodivergence through the lens of midlife and menopause
*Imposter syndrome, RSD, habits, and emotional regulation
*Inclusive Design and Accessibility
*Intersectionality and Allyship
*Women's empowerment-finding our voice
My presentations are relatable, informative, interactive, vulnerable, and always include a large dose of humor.

*How to create a workplace culture that allows neurodivergent employees to thrive.
