Episode 55 - Understanding Dyslexic Strengths to Grow Confidence

This is the last episode in the 'Growing Confidence ' series. All throughout January I have been talking about confidence as I feel without it you won't be able to find sustainable success because of dyslexia as opposed to despite of it. 

When we talk about managing the challenges with dyslexia and hacks to navigate the challenges, we're not really addressing the root cause of the issues block success and feeling accepting of your dyslexia.

When we focus on strengths and we build confidence, then we can start to build real success.

What is great is that, you're not alone in this. Not only do we have a whole community called "The Hive" but, the reason I started Dyslexia in Adults is because I was looking for answers myself, beyond navigating hacks and work arounds for challenges like spell and time management. So I know what it feels like.

In this last episode of this series I dig deep into strengths and use real life examples from the Hive, 1:1's, and myself.

The Be You campaign highlights how a range of Microsoft digital tools can make everyday life more accessible for people with Dyslexia, whether attending a university lecture, writing a best man speech or simply reading a large amount of text online. This campaign aims to reach people traditionally missing out on access to assistive technology, those that are potentially not accessing advice through education or workplace initiatives.
