Reflect on and develop the clarity and confidence to own your authentic career in the Commonwealth or ACT public sector. 

Is this course right for you?
Are you an employee of the Commonwealth or ACT Government who identifies as being neurodivergent (clinical diagnosis not necessary)? Do you experience imposter syndrome or feel like a square peg in a round hole and are conforming (or camouflaging) a lot at work? Are you exhausted from all the sensory stimulation and trying to keep up at work so you try harder, work longer and you are worried you will burn out or already have? 

This program is part of a three-part series that delivers self-acceptance, self-management and self-advocacy outcomes for neurodivergent professionals. Each part of the program enables you to immerse in the key strategies for creating a sustainably successful career. A career that is not punctured by regular burnouts but enables you to realise your full potential.
