"I think a little differently to most and that allows me to see opportunities others miss. I’m a dreamer and a connector of seemingly random ideas. I’m a curious questioner interested in what’s possible and why people behave the way they do in a given situation. People fascinate me." Callum McKirdy, dyslexic and ADHD positive. 

Callum has his own business working with the Human Resources profession. He have developed this to work with organisations to harness the power of different thinking - in particular maximising the experience and performance of those with neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia.

We are in unknown times.

There are many resources available for mental wellbeing, surviving lockdown, understanding Covid19. They are usually text heavy and there is so much information it is hard to keep track,

Chris is wanting to know your thoughts on what resources we can provide for adult dyslexics to help in this time

Topic:         Dyslexia in the Workplace - Survey development Part 2
  When:       7.30pm on Monday, 2nd March 2020

Where:      Federated Farmers, 70 Forth Street, Invercargill


Esther Whitehead, Managing trustee from Dyslexia Foundation of NZ has asked if we would finetune the survey after receiving our responses from the last meeting.

We will start with a video message from Esther to get the big picture and the "brief" is to come up with 10 questions that you believe would help you as managers and employees. We need to keep it simple and Chris will guide the discussion.
 
The 10 questions can be send to the attendees of our forum in May 4th as the first part of getting feedback from companies about how they provide for their staff.

(Carpark and entrance is at the back of the Federated Farmers building.
Go up the driveway to the right of the building.)


All welcome.

Topic:          The five stages of dyslexia self acceptance.

​When:        7.30pm on Monday, 2nd December 2019

Where:       Federated Farmers, 70 Forth Street, Invercargill

A 20-year study, released in 2002, found that dyslexics who accept their dyslexia and reframe it as a positive are most likely to succeed.

Chris looks at these five stages to discuss
  • do they make sense?
  • what stage are you at?

For Miles
​

Driving Home, my eyes salt water leaked
Thinking of words to me speaked
Of the past to now this night
We all the same on many different flights
Many journey’s of many seas
Many faces in levels of happy
Within unhappy!
Lord, help me to help them
To walk on the water
With sunshine smiles
