In this insightful episode of The Space Podcast, our host Emma Dennis sits down with Chris Brennan, a Legal Director in our Public Procurement team, to explore the realities of living and working as a neurodivergent individual. Chris shares his personal journey of discovering his neurodivergence later in life, reflecting on early signs, the impact on his legal career, and the unique strengths neurodivergent people bring to the workplace.

Listeners will hear candid stories about overcoming challenges, the importance of self-acceptance, and how understanding neurodiversity can transform both professional and personal wellbeing. The conversation also tackles misconceptions, the value of diversity and inclusion, and practical advice for neurodivergent individuals considering a career in law.

This episode is a must-listen for employers and employees to improve and raise awareness for mental health and invisible disabilities in the workplace to creating more inclusive spaces.
