Hello, I'm Dan, founder of Managing on the Spectrum, Chartered Manager, registered Social Worker, and advocate for neuroinclusive leadership and workplaces.
​​
My journey began in 2000, supporting autistic and learning disabled individuals in community settings before going on to train as a Learning Disabilities Nurse. Those early experiences shaped my understanding of the barriers and strengths that neurodivergent people encounter in everyday life. In 2010, I qualified as a social worker, where I’ve spent over a decade in frontline and senior management roles, driving change across adult social care.
​​
Along the way, I earned an Masters in Business Administration (MBA) to deepen my grasp of systems, strategy, and leadership. I also became a Chartered Manager, a designation that reflects my commitment to excellence, ethical practice, and evidence-based leadership. It’s a standard I hold myself to and one I bring into every collaboration. Whilst I was completing my MBA, I received an autism diagnosis. Following my diagnosis, I attempted to find support and guidance for neurodivergent managers and realised that this there is very little. This has inspired me to found Managing on the Spectrum so that I can support other managers (and aspiring managers) who are neurodivergent.
​
Throughout my career, I have delivered training in a variety of settings to staff at all levels. I have presented at conferences and mentored staff who have a range of roles.
​​​
Through Managing on the Spectrum, I help organisations build inclusive leadership practices, rethink recruitment, and empower neurodivergent managers and workers. I believe systemic change starts with practical tools, honest dialogue, and a commitment to equity, not just empathy.​​​​
​
I also believe that neurodivergent individuals have untapped potential but often excluded from senior roles because of a lack of understanding from organisations. I am passionate about working with individuals to support them to achieve their potential.
​
Managing on the Spectrum is the result of that journey. It's a space where lived experience meets strategic insight to support neurodivergent professionals and the organisations that value them. Whether you're a neurodivergent professional navigating leadership, or an organisation ready to do things differently, I’m here to support that journey.
​​
If this is you, let's have a discussion about how I can work with your on your journey.
