    From Burnout to Breakthrough: Unlocking Neurodivergent Potential, with Mike Knapp

    Series 5 of Classroom 5.0, NeuroPEAK, is unpacking the stories of the unique strengths and struggles of navigating Neurodiversity in leadership. My guest today is Mike Knapp, an ex-Google innovator and founder of Shoes of Prey who takes us through his journey of discovering his neurodivergent identity after facing burnout. After years of pushing through periods of ill-health in high-demand environments, Mike discovered that the source of his exhaustion wasn’t the work—but how the work was structured for his neurodivergent brain. This realisation was a turning point, and in our conversation, Mike reveals how understanding his ADHD and Autism unlocked a deeper potential. It's allowed him to not only reshape his career but also rethink how creativity and innovation can truly flourish when supported by environments that understand neurodiversity. What if we all embraced our unique wiring instead of trying to fit into rigid moulds? How would your life change if you had a work structure that truly supported how your brain works? As Mike shares, it’s time we started seeing neurodivergence as a strength, not a challenge to overcome. The world needs more workplaces that foster the kind of creativity only neurodivergent minds can deliver. Are you ready to unlock your own leading-edge potential? If you’re curious about how neurodiversity can fuel innovation in fast-paced industries, this episode is a must-listen!  You'll learn how to: Embrace your uniqueness Build flexible work and life environments Harness the power of neurodivergence for innovation What’s one way you could shape your environment today to work better for your brain?

  7. #37 From Silence to Support. A Systems-Based Approach for Navigating School Attendance Difficulties

    #37 From Silence to Support. A Systems-Based Approach for Navigating School Attendance Difficulties

    Last year, over 1.5 million Australian children  experienced difficulties attending school. That number reflects 39% of families with school aged children. Their lack of attendance is not because they're 'naughty'. Not because they're 'defiant'. And not because of poor parenting. But because they can't. If we're to design a future of learning that's inclusive of all, this nation wide challenge requires nation wide participation, and must involve diverse voices representative of all industries, perspectives and backgrounds. In this special episode of Classroom 5.0, we're sharing the recording of our online training from earlier this year on this topic. It aims to help you understand the 'what' and 'why' of school attendance difficulties, and offers practical, actionable steps that parents, teachers and HR professionals can take to provide collaborative, community based support for children and families affected. Head to the episode webpage here to download the full webinar and presentation slides, and for links to today's resources.  In this episode, you'll discover - 1. The key issues facing families navigating difficulties with school attendance, 2. Clinical and research backed insights behind what's driving school attendance difficulties, and why some individuals are more vulnerable than others,  3. Current solutions and supports currently available for families, and how we can learn from other countries 4. Practical things you can say and do to support children and families experiencing 'School Can't', or school attendance difficulties This training is in support of, but separate to, the incredible work and efforts of 'School Can't Australia', who can be contacted directly here EPISODE WEBPAGE  To gain access to resources discussed in today's episode, and to download the free recording of the training and accompnaying slides, visit here .
