Public Speaking & Keynotes
Neurodiversity Keynote Speaker | Dubai & UAE
Why understanding your people
is good for business.
What if some of your organisation's greatest potential is hidden in the way your people think differently? As a Dubai-based keynote speaker and neurodiversity advocate, I explore how understanding dyslexia, neurodiversity and different ways of thinking can unlock original ideas, stronger teams and better business outcomes.
Drawing on personal experience and over 20 years of creative leadership, my talks challenge assumptions, encourage more inclusive workplaces and help organisations recognise the potential within their people.

Untapped Potential
Different thinking is a strategic advantage
Britain's intelligence agency GCHQ reported 3–4 times the representation of dyslexic apprentices compared with other schemes, recognising the value of skills such as pattern recognition and problem-solving.
Deloitte reports research suggesting that teams with neurodivergent professionals can be up to 30% more productive in certain roles. This is a context-dependent finding, not a universal productivity increase.
Talent doesn't automatically mean opportunity
According to Made By Dyslexia's 2025 research, only 30% of dyslexic thinkers are empowered at work, highlighting how much potential organisations could be overlooking

Why Neurodiversity Matters in Business
01.
Unlock original thinking
Different minds bring different perspectives. Create space for those differences and unlock ideas, creativity and innovation that might otherwise go unheard.
02.
Build happier, stronger teams
When people feel understood and included, they are more confident, engaged and willing to contribute. Small changes to the workplace can make a big difference.
Create better business outcomes

Teams that can play to their strengths are better placed to collaborate, solve problems and perform. Inclusion isn't just a people priority. It's a business opportunity.
From neurodiversity keynotes to corporate communication workshops.
Alongside speaking on neurodiversity and creative thinking, I've developed and delivered full-day corporate workshops for ADNOC covering effective presentation design, messaging, storytelling and public speaking. Across both programmes, more than 400 employees participated over multiple sessions.
“Sara brought a refreshingly honest and thought-provoking perspective to the stage. Her ability to combine personal experience with powerful insights into neurodiversity, creativity and human potential made for a genuinely engaging session. She challenged the audience to think differently and left us with ideas that stayed with us long after the talk.”
