About the Creator
Victoria Bagnall / Co-Founder and CEO, Connections in Mind CIC
Victoria Bagnall is a neurodivergent educator and executive functioning specialist. She has dedicated her life to raising awareness of essential brain functions: executive functions. These functions are a family of top-down mental processes that make it possible to mentally play with ideas; approach unanticipated challenges with flexibility; take the time to think before acting; resist temptations, and to stay focused.
Everyone can benefit from understanding executive function skills, how their brains work, how it affects their learning, performance and behaviour. You can use this information to get work done, regulate your emotions and manage everyday life. Victoria believes that knowledge of executive functioning has the power to change the world!
Connections in Mind is a Community Interest Company (C.I.C) committed to serving the neurodivergent community. The organisation offers training to support people in understanding their brains better so that they can be kinder to themselves and those around them. This includes training coaches, educators, parents, and workplaces globally and across the UK.
