Natalie Brooks is a leading Diversity and Inclusion keynote speaker, adult dyslexia specialist and the Founder of Dyslexia in Adults, a platform dedicated to supporting neurodivergent professionals. As the author of ‘Dyslexia Unlocked’, published by Bloomsbury, Natalie is widely recognised for transforming how organisations understand and support dyslexia in the workplace. Diagnosed early but left unsupported in her professional life, she brings an honest, experience-led perspective that resonates with both employees and leadership teams, helping to shift neurodiversity from a tick-box initiative into meaningful cultural change.
Natalie’s career began in commercial roles across organisations including Amazon, Trainline and Finimize, where she built strong experience in partnerships and account management. Despite her success on paper, her experience navigating dyslexia at work exposed a significant gap in adult support. After facing misunderstanding and a lack of guidance, she founded Dyslexia in Adults, creating a space where practical tools, strategies and conversations could exist for professionals who had long been overlooked. Since its launch, the platform has grown into a recognised authority, supporting thousands of individuals and organisations globally.
Her achievements reflect both impact and influence. Natalie has worked with leading organisations including Microsoft, Boston Consulting Group and the Department for Business and Trade, delivering practical neurodiversity strategies that drive performance and inclusion. She has delivered keynote talks at major industry events including The Dyslexia Show, and her work has been featured across prominent media platforms. Through her book, ‘Dyslexia Unlocked’, she has provided a clear, actionable framework that empowers dyslexic adults to build confidence, implement effective strategies and recognise their strengths in both personal and professional environments.
As a speaker, Natalie is known for her clear, no-jargon approach and her ability to turn complex challenges into practical solutions. Her keynotes cover topics such as dyslexia in the workplace, neurodiverse leadership and dyslexic thinking as a business asset. Natalie equips organisations with realistic, implementable actions, helping leaders move beyond awareness and into genuine inclusion. Audiences leave with a deeper understanding of cognitive diversity and the confidence to create environments where different ways of thinking are recognised, supported and valued.
“For the first time ever, I passed my probation without it being extended because of my dyslexia.”
“For the first time, I felt confident in what I bring to job applications and interviews. I was offered 8 roles – a level of success I’ve never experienced before.”
“I view my dyslexia in a brand new way. I now have confidence in what I bring and tools that manage the difficulties.”
“I’ve tried every type of dyslexia support available – university services, Access to Work, strategy training. Nothing comes close.”
“Natalie presents information into useful, practical guidance without being overwhelming. Completely different to anything else I’ve experienced, and far better.”
