Resilience That Fits You
Self-understanding and adaptive strategies for neurodivergent people
As the world becomes faster, noisier, and more demanding, many neurodivergent people feel the strain first. We often need questions to explore as we build resilience in a world that typically starts by providing us with rules for our performance.
This workshop offers a supportive space to slow down, create self-awareness, and explore ways of navigating life that feel more workable — and balanced with personal meaning. Alongside reflection and practical coaching tools, you will be gently introduced to the language of complexity science — offering a new way to make sense of uncertainty, change, and the patterns shaping daily life.
The focus is on creating personalised strategies that support resilience, wellbeing, and agency.
Takeaways
Increased self-awareness and contextual understanding.
Personalised strategies for adaptation and resilience.
Enhanced capacity for reflection, self-compassion, and community connection.
Tools for ongoing navigation of complexity in personal and professional life.

Building agency and resilience for neurodivergent people
Session OneYou in Context
In this opening session, you are invited to explore your own needs, strengths, and challenges to build a clearer understanding of what makes your experience unique.
Through guided reflection and simple mapping activities, you’ll begin to notice how different parts of your life — work, family, social spaces, routines, and expectations— shape how you feel, act, and cope day to day.
This session creates space for you to reflect on your experience of neurodivergence and to share insights at a pace and depth that feels right for you. By looking at yourself in context, rather than in isolation, you may start to see patterns that help explain why some situations feel supportive while others are draining.
This gentle, collaborative exploration lays the foundation for developing practical, personalised strategies and building resilience as the workshop continues.
Session TwoAdaptive Action and Coping Strategies
Building on what you explored in Session 1 about your needs, strengths, and the contexts that shape your experience, this session introduces the adaptive action cycle — a practical way to understand and respond to the challenges you face in daily life.
You’ll explore common instinctive responses, such as fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and reflect on how these might show up for you personally. By noticing these patterns in a supportive environment, you can start to see how your reactions connect to the patterns you observed in your life in Session 1.
This reflection helps you experiment with personalised strategies that support adaptation, manage stress, and strengthen resilience. The session gives you tools and insights to navigate uncertainty with greater awareness and confidence, continuing your journey toward sustainable wellbeing and growth.
Session ThreeContext Mapping and Learning in Community
Building on what you’ve explored about yourself and your adaptive strategies in the previous sessions, this session invites you to map your social relationships and support networks, noticing how these connections influence your wellbeing.
You’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences and learn from others’ perspectives, including generational and life-stage differences. This creates a space for collective learning, empathy, and reflection.
By identifying patterns in your social contexts, you can uncover opportunities to strengthen inclusion, support, and self-advocacy. This collaborative exploration helps you understand your place within broader communities while equipping you with practical strategies for building supportive environments and championing your own needs.
Session FourIntegration and Moving Forward
In this final session, you’ll reflect on your learning journey and the personal growth you’ve experienced throughout the workshop. You’ll create a dynamic personal map — a living tool that captures the insights, strategies, and patterns you’ve discovered, helping you adapt as life changes.
You’ll also set clear intentions for future action and consider ways to prioritise your wellbeing, building pathways that support ongoing resilience and self-care. This session focuses on integrating what you’ve learned into your daily life, empowering you to navigate uncertainty with greater confidence, self-compassion, and a strong foundation for sustainable growth.

Who is guiding this development journey?
Dr. Janice Ryan, OT, HSDP
Dr. Ryan is the founder and director of Attunement Solutions, a program design and development company specializing in occupational therapy services.
A neurodivergent thinker herself, Dr. Ryan has devoted over 40 years to advancing mental health OT, blending her expertise with Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) to drive meaningful, nonlinear change in organizations and individuals.
With a BA in Psychology, and both a master’s and doctorate in occupational therapy, she has contributed research on self-motivating activities and the science of “unfolding”—a pattern central to both spiritual practice and innovative therapy.
Certified as an HSD Professional, Dr. Ryan has published in academic journals and co-authored research on applying HSD models to occupational therapy. Her insights foster empathy and progress in neurodiverse communities, emphasizing the importance of pattern logic and collaboration for lasting, positive change.
Monica Leon, HSDP
Monica Leon is a global organisational development practitioner, facilitator, executive coach, and Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) practitioner. She works with organisations, leaders and systems where change resists “being” engineered, focusing on sticky issues that persist despite new strategies, structures, or initiatives.
Her approach is grounded in open systems thinking, applied complexity, and gentle change: small, disciplined interventions that create conditions for movement the system itself can carry. Not louder change. Not faster change. Change that evolves.
Monica Leon partners with leaders curious or ready to move beyond control, certainty, and performance theatre. She surfaces collective intelligence, expands leaders’ capacity to notice what matters, and supports small experiments that shift patterns over time. Vertical development is embedded in practice, not an abstract add-on.
Strategic by nature and practical by design, she helps leaders work with paradox, uncertainty, and variance—making meaningful progress where linear solutions fall short. Monica holds a BS (Honours) in Economics and International Studies, an MBA with distinction, an MSOD, and is pursuing her PCC ICF credential.
