NeuroEmpowered Professionals Series: Why Family Organization Matters at Work
About NeuroEmpowered Professionals Series
A monthly program created to support neurodivergent professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and job seekers who want to grow their skills, strengthen their self-advocacy, and connect with a supportive community.
Each session dives into topics such as workplace communication, executive function, entrepreneurship, self-advocacy, personal development, career growth, and leveraging strengths. Participants will gain practical tools, supportive resources, and a sense of belonging as they navigate their professional journeys.
This series empowers neurodivergent individuals to rise confidently, build meaningful careers, and thrive in settings where they feel understood and supported.
This Month’s Topic: Why Family Organization Matters at Work
Presenter: Kathy Long, Founder and CEO of NixIt
Back-to-school season can bring added demands for many neurodivergent professionals and families as they navigate school schedules, therapies, activities, appointments, and daily routines. Because family life can have a meaningful impact on workplace success and well-being, we're hosting a special educational session to explore practical strategies and resources that may help.
Join CNDCC member Kathy Long as she shares the inspiration behind NixIt: a shared family command center designed for the way neurodivergent brains actually work. One place for tasks, calendars, and communication between families, coaches, and the professionals who support them.
Kathy will provide a preview of the platform ahead of its full launch, discuss how it can support both families and workplaces employing neurodivergent talent, and answer questions from attendees.

THIS MONTH’S FEATURED TOPIC
Outside the Grind: Reclaiming Joy, Creativity, and Play in Business
Presented by: Mandy Casteel-Denney
Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that success requires constant productivity, endless hustle, and putting ourselves last. But what if the very things we've been taught to dismiss—joy, curiosity, play, and time in nature—are actually essential to creativity, innovation, and sustainable success?
In this refreshing and thought-provoking presentation, Mandy Casteel-Denney explores how reconnecting with playfulness and wonder can help business owners rediscover their creativity, prevent burnout, and build businesses that support their lives rather than consume them. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for bringing more joy into their work and a new perspective on what success can truly look like.
Because the more joyful your life becomes, the more sustainable your work can be.
About the Speaker: Mandy Casteel-Denney is a neurodivergent speaker, environmental educator, and advocate who explores the intersection of neurodiversity, nature, joy, and belonging. Drawing on more than 20 years in education and her lived experience as an autistic and ADHD parent, she delivers engaging presentations that challenge conventional thinking and offer practical, neurodiversity-affirming solutions. Mandy is the founder of Blue Tulip Inclusive Education and a Northern Colorado Chapter Lead for the Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce.

1 in 4 adults lives with a disability, along with caregivers, families, and allies who often plan ahead before visiting a business. When customers cannot find the information they need, they often choose another location. When expectations are clear, they arrive confident and prepared.
The Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce is committed to ensuring that Colorado continues to be a leader in accessibility, innovation, and inclusive business practices. As part of this effort, we are proud to partner with AbleVu to expand access to transparent accessibility information for businesses and customers across our region.
We invite businesses and organizations to join us for an AbleVu Informational Session on April 3 via Zoom to learn how your organization can get listed on the AbleVu platform.
Through this partnership, we are working to secure the first 20 participating businesses in the Denver area, which will allow AbleVu to establish an official Denver city listing.
CNDCC members can unlock their AbleVu Business Profile for a special rate of $299 (standard rate: $599). Profiles include structured accessibility details across mobility, sensory, cognitive, dietary, and medical considerations, photo-backed documentation, interactive map placement, and an Access-Friendly Business digital badge businesses can share on their website and social channels.
Join us to learn how your business can be part of the first group helping launch Denver on the AbleVu platform.
