about us

Helping the world work better for different kinds of brains.

Brains Behind the Business® exists because the way we work, lead, communicate and support people wasn’t built with neurodiversity in mind.. and it shows!

We’re an organisation dedicated to making workplaces, services and systems more human, more flexible, more sustainable and more supportive of the way different minds think, feel, process and perform.

We do that through training, consultancy, professional development, strategic support, lived-experience insight and practical systems that actually work in real life… not just in policy documents.

At our core we’re here to create a world where people don’t have to hide, mask, overcompensate or burn out just to get through their day.

A world where difference isn’t seen as a disruption.. and starts being used as a strength.

Why We Exist

People don’t struggle in isolation. They struggle inside systems that weren’t built for them.

Most workplaces and support frameworks were designed around one type of brain and everyone else has been quietly adapting ever since.

Our mission is to flip that.

We help organisations and professionals understand neurodiversity deeply, support people effectively, and create environments where every neurotype can thrive without fear of judgement or failure.

This work isn’t ‘inclusion.’
It’s infrastructure.

Our Mission

To train and equip 10,000 professionals across business, education and the workplace so every neurotype can thrive without masking, burnout, or compromise.

Our Values

We make it make sense.

Clarity creates calm. We strip out jargon and chaos to find simple, sustainable ways to move forward.

We build around people, not processes.

No masking, no shame — just psychologically safe environments where people show up fully.

We tell the truth kindly.

Honesty creates growth. Compassion creates trust.

We grow with purpose.

Impact matters. We care about results that uplift individuals, teams and whole organisations.

Our Philosophy

We believe in better systems, not better masks. When you design work, communication and support with neurodiversity in mind, everything improves — wellbeing, culture, clarity, performance, collaboration, retention, productivity and psychological safety. The entire environment becomes easier to navigate, easier to lead and easier to belong to. This principle sits at the heart of every arm of our business and guides the way we create change.

Neurodivergent refers to an individual whose brain processes, thinks or experiences the world differently from what society considers “typical.” This can include ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s, OCD and many other cognitive differences.
It simply means: a different neurotype.

Neurotypical refers to individuals whose brain functions, communication patterns and processing styles align with the dominant cultural expectations. In short: their brain works in the way society was designed around.

Neurodiverse describes a group, not a person.
A team, workplace or classroom is ‘neurodiverse’ when it contains a variety of neurotypes – neurodivergent and neurotypical together.

A person cannot be ‘neurodiverse’ alone.
But a workplace absolutely can be.

In simple terms:

Neurodivergent = one person

Neurotypical = one person

Neurodiverse = a group of different kinds of brains

Understanding this alone can really help workplaces talk more accurately about brains, support and inclusion and helps everyone feel seen without labels being misused.

A neurotype is simply the way a person’s brain processes information, feels, thinks and responds to the world. Everyone has a neurotype – it’s simply different operating systems with different strengths and needs.
