It is hard to put into words how empowering a conference room full of a hundred or more educators, parents, and others ready, willing and thirsty to learn is, but it is electric… and addictive! It is something that fills my cup right up and makes every minute of organising them worthwhile.

The trainers celebrating each other’s presentations with high fives, hugs and a mini ceilidh in the corner will forever be one of my favourite memories, mostly because celebrating like-minded women and friends in business will always be a privilege. A transformative and powerful connection between us that we are all there with the same goal, to improve the lives of neurodiverse children in education.

Watching the nods of agreement from attendees throughout the workshops, hearing the gasps at the stories being told, feeling the positive infectious energy and passion radiating from the speaker on the stage as they speak, seeing groups working together to gain understanding and skills to take home and shaking hands or being embraced by parents and educators grateful for the tools they have learnt is what every single minute of these training days are about.
