Bio
Edward Odofin (LL.B.) (PRINCE2) (CMP) (CBCI)
I had the privilege of meeting Thomas in March as he was a keynote speaker at our annual AGM event. The topic of his presentation was personal resilience and I would highly recommend Thomas for any organisation, business, establishment, corporation or even individual that is taking mental health and employee wellbeing seriously in 2023. Thomas has a naturally warming and inviting personality, which means he is able to build a unique rapport and resonate with all people due to his experiences which means his presentation style appeals to all people of all ages and background. Thomas' approach to addressing mental resilience and wellbeing is special and break industry norms meaning it feels more human and relatable than a generic corporate presentation as he is able to relate to real life experiences that he has personally lived through. Thomas is the modern day gateway between business and employees, being a bridge between the two parties, ensuring employee needs are understood and championed. Thomas' USP is his life story and if he is able to navigate through his life journey and a number of setbacks to champion mental health then his story can inspire any business or employee to do the same

Since early 2016 I have been donating funds and raising awareness for Oakleaf Enterprise in Guildford. They provide vocational training and their revenue is spent on the 'clients' not the admin. If you really want to champion realistic change, then donate to a smaller charity, who doesn't have the press and PR, not the big boys, because you'll actually see where the money goes and you may just save a life in reality!

The 'Neurodiverse Leaders Collective' (NLC) was an idea I conceived with the hope of bringing together neurodivergent individuals and our champions/allies, to connect, innovate and partner up to support one another, where in many circumstances people still feel it's a risk working with us, because of some preconceived suggestive weakness. It's time to unleash the full potential of the neurodivergent community!
