"Your committing career suicide!" Those were the last words I heard from my supervisor as I walked out of my high paying corporate job to pursue my 'why' in life. After having a life scare, my passion and priorities became clear. I set out on a journey that was harder than I ever expected. There was so much I needed to learn and unlearn. Some much more trial and tribulation than I imagined. I have been blessed to coach and train thousands of professionals people over the years. I have coached hundreds of athletes. Those experiences along with my own have given me learnings, stories and insights that inspire the people I work with today. If you are looking for a pragmatic, engaging speaker who leaves audiences entertained, educated and empowered, than I am the speaker for you.

Ed Thompson had a bright future in the conventional sense — he was an Oxford graduate with promising career prospects. Then he was hit by a bus. The resulting traumatic head injury kept him from holding a steady job. He had trouble remembering things and processing information. But he turned that challenge into an opportunity to become a workplace neurodiversity expert. Eventually, this led to him to create Uptimize. Since then, Uptimize has helped Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, IBM, Accenture and JPMorgan supercharge their teams’ performance by leveraging the talents of all neurotypes. Thompson is an authority within the “Neurodiversity at Work” movement that has highlighted the unique skills of neurodivergent individuals, such as autistic people, ADHDers, or dyslexic people, and the fact that this talent is often unintentionally excluded in the workplace. His book, "A Hidden Force," an Amazon #1 Best-Seller, provides a compelling case for how organizations gain a competitive edge by cultivating the talents of all types of thinkers in their teams. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-uptimize/ Uptimize: https://uptimize.com/ A Hidden Force: https://uptimize.com/a-hidden-force/ He has appeared in Forbes, Inc., BBC, The Globe and Mail, Psychology Today, and numerous other publications.
