Chris Cole

I am a dyslexia campaigner driven by the belief that “awareness creates change”. For over 13 years, I have worked in various areas, including parent and educator training and support, adult and peer support initiatives, developing and running dyslexic children’s workshops, facilitating the Dyslexia Friendly Quality Mark (DFQM), workplace awareness and innovation workshops, and working as a neurodivergence life coach. My work is informed by my own experience as a parent of dyslexic children and as a late diagnosed dyslexic, supported by my roles as business owner of Unique Minds and Unlock Innovation Ltd, Founder and Advisor for Learning Differences Aotearoa Trust, and my DFQM work for Ako Aotearoa.
