The Power of Change: learning to live as a “weirdo”

by Rachel Morgan-Trimmer

Being called a weirdo from an early age but never really understanding why, I talk about how I finally learnt to embrace being different. I weave my personal story with fascinating facts and unique insights into the world of neurodiversity and mental illness. It’s not all about me though – I use my experience working as a coach to help you understand and embrace your differences too.

“Absolutely brilliant! Humourous, compassionate and thought-provoking.”
“Incredibly moving.”
"I learned and laughed so much."
“Absolutely wonderful.”
“Easily the best talk of [the conference].”
“It was the best I have seen [at the conference].”
“So compelling and funny and emotional. Absolutely superb.”
