Today is a HUGE moment for dyslexics everywhere, and I couldn’t be prouder to share the news…
From today, “Dyslexic Thinking” will be recognised as a vital skill by LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network. They’ll offer their 810+ million members globally the chance to add “Dyslexic Thinking” to their profile.
In another incredible step forward, Dyslexic Thinking will enter the dictionary as a valuable and vital skill set – as dictionary.com confirms it will add it as an official term.
Both of these amazing developments are all thanks to a successful campaign spearheaded by Made By Dyslexia, in partnership with Richard Branson.
This is a monumental milestone for Made By Dyslexia, our allies and our amazing community – on the eve of our fifth birthday. Together, we have redefined Dyslexic Thinking as a valuable skill set and, in doing this, we’ve helped the world to properly understand and value it. This giant leap in the workplace will help us to influence how Dyslexic Thinking is seen in the education system and beyond – helping us to drive the change that’s needed in these spheres – fast.
Dyslexic Thinking matches with skills needed for the future as defined by the World Economic Forum. They also match with the Top Ten skills workplaces need today as found by our latest report, The Dyslexic Dynamic, produced in partnership with ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions.

Dyslexic Thinking skills like creativity, problem-solving and leadership are vital to the 21st century workplace, when we reach a 50-50 work split between machines and humans, as predicted for 2025 – the skills humans will need are Dyslexic Thinking skills. The world’s largest professional careers platform, LinkedIn, has recognised this. ?
Now is the time for dyslexics to stand out, rather than blend in – and share their sought-after skills with organisations who are actively recruiting for them. And now is the time for Dyslexic Thinking to be empowered in every workplace to harness the power of those who think differently.

3 个月Nice to see this. Especially as I’m sure that there are folks on this thread, who, at points in their education journeys were patronised for their “shortcomings”, or even questioned their own intelligence (??♂?).

5 个月Thank you so much for your work on this. Isn’t it just like those of us who have dyslexia to turn lemons into lemonade? The very thing that holds us back propels us forward. Blessings to all of you for doing this work. We greatly appreciate it.

10 个月I struggled in school and barely graduated from college. Upon gradation from college in 1991 dyslexia helped me land a job in banking…imagine that. Today I am an executive at the second largest U.S. bank, Bank of America. I began speaking of my dyslexia publicly just several years ago. Thank you Kate for all you are doing for us!
