Dr. Portia Jackson Preston Speaking Topics

Inclusive Wellness

This talk is geared towards organizations and leaders and considers intersectionality as a lens through which to explore our unique wellness needs, e.g. BIPOC and Neurodivergence. It addresses the importance of cultural humility and safety within cultures, from self-compassion at the individual level to psychological safety at the team and organizational level. This talk is customized on the basis of whether I am addressing leadership, staff, or a combination thereof.

Inclusion of My Lived Experience

As a professional navigating late-diagnosis of AuDHD (Autism and ADHD), Dr. Portia Jackson Preston draws on her own experience to offer this especially resonant talk for organizations who are eager to have speakers directly discuss challenges their workforce is struggling with, such as how to meet the needs of neurodivergent workers, acknowledge mental health of those you supervise who are navigating anxiety, depression, and other issues. This has helped organizations find a starting point for safe conversation, using my story in order to protect the privacy of their workers.
