From her perspective, there’s never been a more important time for Boards all across the world to understand what truly makes humans tick, particularly as we integrate AI and other technology into our daily decision-making.

Sara Harrup is a Brisbane-based governance professional, executive coach, and the founder of Unique Mind Co. She is widely regarded as a pioneer in neuroinclusive governance design: the intentional design of board environments, systems, processes, and relational styles to anticipate a wide range of neurocognitive profiles, so that people do not need to mask, disclose their neurodivergence, or request adjustments in order to participate fully.

Sara brings this work to life across her own portfolio of board roles, including as Deputy Chair of the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission, Chair of Jabiru, and Non-Executive Director at HCI. She coaches neurodivergent executives and board directors, and provides training and consulting on neuroaffirming leadership to organisations seeking to move beyond awareness into genuine structural change.

Sara is Autistic and ADHD, and a person with disability, and speaks openly about what it means to govern well when your body and mind work differently, and what boards lose when they are designed with narrow assumptions about how Director’s bodies and minds are built.
