Creating inclusive environments where neurodivergent minds can thrive

Creating More Than Just Awareness

The environments we create shape how all of us think, work and perform. They influence our creativity, productivity, attention and stress. Understanding how those environments affect neurodivergent minds is key to creating workplaces where everyone can thrive.
Going beyond neurodiversity awareness, I help organisations build genuine understanding, practical strategies and the confidence to create environments where neurodivergent people – and the businesses they work in – can flourish.

Creating Workplaces Where Everyone Can Thrive

An estimated one in six people are neurodivergent. Yet many organisations are only just beginning to understand how their workplace shapes people’s ability to think, communicate and perform.
Research suggests that, in the right roles and with the right support, teams including neurodivergent professionals can be significantly more productive. But those outcomes don’t happen by chance – they happen when organisations create environments where different neurotypes can play to their strengths and do their best work.
Awareness is an important first step. But at The Academe, we go further. We’re interested in the human experience of neurodivergence and how the environments we create can profoundly shape confidence, wellbeing and performance
Using Lerryn’s EASE Framework, we give leaders, managers and teams practical strategies to create environments where neurodivergent people can thrive—benefiting individuals, teams and organisations alike.

Lerryn Clare – Keynotes and Speaking

TEDx speaker and neurodivergence coach Lerryn Clare brings a grounded, relatable perspective to ADHD, autism and the lived experience of neurodivergence. Combining accessible science, storytelling and humour, her engaging and thought-provoking talks build understanding, challenge assumptions and help people feel seen.

What is EASE?

Creating neuroinclusive workplaces doesn’t have to be complicated. The EASE Framework combines a deeper understanding of neurodivergence with practical strategies that help leaders and teams create more inclusive environments where everyone can do their best work.

Built around four simple principles – Externalise, Anchor, Simplify and Energise – EASE provides a practical lens for understanding how the environment influences confidence, communication and performance. It helps identify where unnecessary friction exists and provides practical ways to reduce it. 

The EASE Framework underpins Lerryn’s coaching, training and speaking, helping individuals and organisations move beyond self-criticism and create meaningful, lasting change.

About Lerryn Clare

Lerryn Clare is an award-winning coach, trainer, TEDx speaker and co-founder of The Academe. She is also late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD.

Like many late-diagnosed neurodivergent people, Lerryn spent years believing she simply needed to try harder. To be more organised, more confident, more resilient. She carried a long list of things she felt she should be able to do, and when those things seemed easier for everyone else, it was easy to assume the problem was her.

It wasn’t until her son’s neurodivergence led her to explore her own experiences that everything began to make sense. The challenges she had spent a lifetime blaming on herself weren’t personal failings; they were often the result of trying to meet expectations that didn’t fit the way her brain worked.

That realisation transformed not only her understanding of neurodivergence, but also her confidence, self-belief and sense of identity.

Today, Lerryn helps individuals and organisations understand the relationship between neurodivergence, confidence and self-worth. Her work goes beyond awareness, helping people challenge the damaging “shoulds” they carry, better understand themselves and others, and create practical, sustainable ways of working with their brains rather than against them.

Because understanding ourselves doesn’t just change how we work. It changes how we see ourselves.
