Why This Webinar?

If you’ve ever supported a client who interviewed well but didn’t get hired…
If you’ve struggled to help a client decide whether to disclose…
If you’ve felt the weight of getting it “right” when the stakes are high…

You’re not alone.

Many of the clients CDPs support are neurodivergent—whether diagnosed, self-identified, or navigating invisible barriers. Yet most career development frameworks weren’t designed with neurodivergent communication, processing, or risk in mind.

This webinar is designed to help you slow down, sharpen your thinking, and build confidence in how you coach through interviews, feedback, and disclosure—especially when there are no clear answers.

What You’ll Work On in This Webinar

This is not a lecture.
It’s a live, applied learning space.

Day 1: You Can’t Coach What You Don’t Understand

• Why interviews are often an interpretation test, not a skills test

• How “good answers” can still mask unmet interview skill expectations

• How to identify when a coaching challenge is actually a systems issue

• How to separate client ability from environmental barriers

*Some scenarios and examples will be shaped by participants attending live.

Why Attending Live Makes a Difference

Replays will be available, but this webinar is designed to be experienced live.

Live participation allows for:

• Real-time discussion of coaching scenarios

• Polls and reflection moments that shape the conversation

• Hearing how other CDPs are thinking through similar challenges

• Space to ask clarifying questions and explore nuance

If you can’t attend live, you’ll still receive the replay—but the richest learning happens in the room together.

What Makes This Webinar Different?

This isn’t surface-level neurodiversity training.
And it isn’t a checklist-driven approach.

This is an applied, practice-based experience designed for CDPs who are already doing the work and want stronger judgment, language, and confidence in complex situations.

This Training Is Free — With One Simple Ask

This two-day webinar is offered at no cost.

In return, participants agree to take part in a short post-webinar reflection call.

These conversations are an important part of how this work stays grounded in real practice. They allow space to:

• Reflect on how the training applied (or didn’t) to your work

• Share what felt useful, unclear, or missing

• Talk honestly about what would make ongoing support valuable — or why it wouldn’t

This is not a high-pressure sales call.
There is no obligation to purchase anything.

It is a professional conversation rooted in reflection, feedback, and mutual learning.

If you’re not open to a short reflective conversation after the webinar, this may not be the right experience for you — and that’s okay.
