Hey Weirdos! This week's Professional Weirdo is the incredible Lucy Cox, co-founder of the multi-award-winning international training company The Academe, whose mission is very simple; to help people see how capable they already are.

Whether that is in relation to leading teams, building business, shifting careers, navigating neurodivergence, or simply getting out of bed in the morning, Lucy shares fascinating insights into the human brain, unites teams on shared human experiences and provides practical advice on how to get the best from ourselves.

Outside of work, Lucy is an ADHD mum of two AuDHD children and is no stranger to the ups and downs of juggling work and home, self-confidence and entrepreneurship. She is a chronic over-sharer, creative problem-solver and most importantly, a weirdo!

In this awesome episode Lucy shares her own personal journey, from inventing a product with his business partner sister, taking it to Dragon's Den with babies in tow and crowd funding £11,000 in mere days. Such a fun and inspiring story - I could listen to Lucy talk all day.

Lucy also talks about the importance of acceptance and individual needs in the workplace and as solopreneurs and takes us through all the fab work the Academe do to maximise people potential.

We also chat about the struggles and super powers of neurodiversity and harnessing that in business and life.

Thanks so much Lucy for being this week's weirdo!
