Meet the Founder
Jenefer Livings MA, PGCert (Neurodiversity), Chartered MCIPD
I’m Jenefer, HR professional, neurodiversity specialist, trainer and someone who’s passionate about creating workplaces where neurodivergent people can thrive.
With over 20 years’ experience in HR, I’ve always been drawn to the human side of work, the messy, complex, brilliant reality of people coming together to get things done. My career has taken me through many sectors and business environments, but a constant throughout has been my belief that good people management is about more than compliance. It’s about understanding how people actually work.
Over time, my focus has sharpened. I’m neurodivergent myself and I’m also a parent to a wonderfully neurodivergent child. These lived experiences have shaped my worldview and deepened my understanding of how workplaces either support or disable people. They’ve also made me determined to help organisations do better, not just for legal reasons, but because inclusive workplaces work better for everyone.
That personal drive led me to formal study. I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Neurodiversity, alongside my BA in Human Resource Management and Sociology, MA in Personnel and Development, Chartered Membership of the CIPD and the Workplace Needs Assessor Award. This blend of academic grounding, professional experience and lived insight gives me a unique perspective on neurodiversity at work, one that’s both practical and deeply informed.
My passion truly comes through when I’m delivering training that help organisations better understand and support neurodivergent staff and customers. I bring that unique combination of professional HR expertise, academic qualifications and lived experience of neurodiversity to every session I deliver. My sessions are interactive and grounded in real life, designed to create space for questions, challenge assumptions and build confidence.
Outside of work, I’m a mum to two teens and like many parents of neurodivergent children, I’ve had to become an expert advocate, learning to listen closely, think differently and push for what’s right. Those same qualities guide me in the work I do today.
