How to Support Neurodiversity in Business and Early-Stage Teams

Join us for a practical and honest workshop led by Maxine Laceby, Co-Founder of Absolute Collagen, one of the UK’s fastest growing wellness brands.

This session focuses on how businesses, social enterprises and early-stage teams can better understand, support and work alongside neurodivergent individuals. Not as an afterthought, but as a core part of building healthy, effective organisations.

Maxine brings a rare and valuable perspective. As a founder with lived experience of neurodiversity, she will openly share her personal journey of building a successful business while navigating the realities of thinking and working differently. Her story offers insight, reassurance, and practical learning for anyone running or growing a business.

What to expect

• A live, in conversation interview with Maxine, led by iSE
• Honest discussion around neurodiversity in leadership, teams and decision making
• Practical guidance on creating supportive working environments in small and growing organisations
• Real examples from Maxine’s experience building Absolute Collagen
• A Q&A session, giving attendees the chance to ask questions and explore real challenges they face in their own businesses

This session is created to help founders, managers and entrepreneurs make informed, realistic changes that support people and strengthen teams.

Whether you are a social entrepreneur, startup founder, manager or business owner or whether neurodiversity affects you personally or within your team...this workshop offers insight that is relevant, respectful and immediately useful.

Expect a welcoming atmosphere, open conversation and learning that stays with you well beyond the session.
