Nataysa Jones

Co-founder, Divergen Thinking

Graduate Diploma in Business (Honours), ICC and PEERS Accredited

Professional Role: Facilitator and leadership coach with a proven track record in raising performance across various organisations and sectors.
Passions and Goals: Natasya Jones is dedicated to normalising and celebrating neurodiversity globally. She partners with individuals and organisations to understand, support, and harness the power of ‘true’ diversity, creating environments where differently-wired brains are valued for their unique contributions.
Personal Journey: Natasya’s passion for neurodiversity advocacy is deeply personal. In 2014, her son was diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's syndrome. Navigating the school system with him highlighted the challenges and lack of support for neurodiverse individuals. This journey inspired her to establish DivergenThinking. Her own diagnosis of ADHD with dyslexic traits in 2020 reinforced her commitment to this cause.
Mission: Through DivergenThinking, Natasya aims to transform the perception of neurodiversity worldwide. She strives to foster a culture that embraces cognitive diversity as a source of innovation and strength, influencing policies, educating leaders, and driving systemic change.
