Diversity without understanding is confusion; not inclusion.
Equal Value Thinking retrains the brain so teams think differently, work differently, and succeed together. Everyone benefits.
“I’m still thinking about your Equal Value Thinking workshop - it left such a lasting impression.
It’s a profound and necessary session for any team that spends valuable time debating “the right way” to think.
Your work does a brilliant job of showing how diverse thinking styles can complement each other to solve complex problems, rather than compete.
I can’t recommend it highly enough for leaders and founders looking to build more inclusive and truly innovative teams.”
WHY DIVERSITY FAILS
From birth, most of us are taught to be suspicious of difference.
That jarring feeling when someone suggests a solution you didn’t think of?
That’s your brain saying: that’s unexpected, I don’t like it, it worries me.
It shows up with family, friends, colleagues.
And it quietly kills innovation. What impacts individuals impacts the team.
Diversity training alone cannot change this. We need something different.
THE EVT APPROACH
What has been learnt - and is holding us back - can be re-learnt.
Equal Value Thinking (EVT) retrains the brain. Over time, that jarring feeling transforms into:
“This is exciting - I’m about to learn something new.”
EVT is a structured, practical process where teams generate and evaluate ideas collaboratively. Every idea is given equal value until it is consciously accepted or rejected.
Result: smarter problem-solving, greater trust, stronger teams.
“Thought today’s session was excellent. Valuable insights on a topic key to business success.
Jay’s real world experience really brought the educational elements of his Bauhaus deck to life. I am very glad I attended.”
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Recognise and harness different thinking styles
Really listen - and be listened to
Unlock the strengths of neurodiversity and all differences
Understand how biology shapes (and limits) problem-solving
Think collectively and creatively - like an autistic mind does naturally
Discover and use your own strengths
WHAT TEAMS GAIN
Agency in their role
Recognition from leaders and colleagues
Productivity through smarter problem-solving
Contentment - the most valuable feeling of all
And when people thrive, organisations do too:
Stronger performance
Fewer costly mistakes
Better retention of talent
It helps everyone, regardless of neurotype, gender, or cultural background. Everyone is equal.
“Leading a team of six using what became Equal Value Thinking, we delivered solutions that saved £2 million over three years - in a system supporting 10 million customers for a large media company.”
Why listen to me?
Equal Value Thinking isn’t theory. It’s MY lived experience.
I’m autistic. I see patterns, problems, and solutions differently - often faster and sharper than most people expect. It is a significant advantage.
Equal Value Thinking grew from:
The unusual problem-solving abilities of the autistic mind.
The genius of the Bauhaus school of art.
Over years of leading teams, I saw how diversity was wasted. The loud voices usually won. The best ideas were ignored.
So I built Equal Value Thinking: a method to help anyone get the best out of people. It’s how I’ve led teams and delivered results for decades.

No. EVT is not about awareness - it’s about application. We don’t just talk about difference; we teach people how to use it.
-
No. EVT benefits everyone. It teaches people to recognise their own strengths and value the strengths of others.
-
Anything from strategic planning to team conflict. EVT is a problem-solving process that works across industries and challenges.

It’s practical, it’s structured, and it’s based on lived experience. EVT changes the way people think and work together, not just how they feel about difference.
