Fear is an important survival mechanism. But when misdirected, it can paralyse a person, locking them into a cycle of limitation and recurring misfortune.
Autism, ADHD and dyslexia frequently come with heightened fear mechanisms. Typically, there is a combination of factors at work, rooted in an interplay between the way the individual naturally thinks and learns, the environment surrounding the individual, and previous life experiences.
In this free webinar you will discover:
-
specific ways in which neurodivergent individuals experience the world differently from neurotypicals
-
how these differences can lead to exceptional talent as well as life challenges
-
how the Davis methods supply the missing pieces that empower neurodivergent individuals to become who they wish to be.
Followed by optional on-camera "coffee meeting" for informal chat.
