Matt Bird | Dyslexia and Neurodiversity Advocacy

Matt’s journey with dyslexia is central to his personal story. Misunderstood in school and labelled “stupid” by his teachers, Matt discovered in his twenties that he was dyslexic.  He often speaks about how neurodiversity has shaped his thinking and creativity and advocates for the positive impact that neurodiverse individuals can have in business and society. He uses his own story to inspire others to embrace their differences and turn them into strengths.
