What if the problem isn't your brain — but the mold you're forced into? In this talk, Sebastiaan Kieft explores how society can thrive by changing systems instead of changing people. He invites us to ask better questions, build inclusive spaces, and truly make room for neurodiversity. Sebastiaan Kieft shows that the real challenge doesn’t lie with people who have ADHD, autism, or dyslexia — but with how we’ve designed work, education, and society around the average brain.With a background in psychology and lived experience with ADHD, Sebastiaan doesn’t offer a quick fix for neurodivergent people — he holds up a mirror to leaders, teams, and entire organizations.His talks are sharp, humorous, and practical. They’re not about learning to function despite your brain, but about asking: what can we do to build systems where more minds can truly thrive?
