Natalie Brooks is a leading dyslexia specialist, keynote speaker and author, widely recognised as the Founder of Dyslexia in Adults and Author of ‘Dyslexia Unlocked’. She is known for delivering practical, engaging talks that transform how organisations understand neurodiversity, with her biggest achievement being the creation of a global platform supporting dyslexic adults.
Natalie’s early career began in commercial and partnership roles, working with organisations including Amazon, Trainline and Finimize. After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a degree in International Relations and Politics, she built a strong corporate foundation while quietly navigating the realities of dyslexia in the workplace. Despite professional progression, she often faced misunderstanding and a lack of meaningful support, which shaped her perspective and ultimately influenced her career direction. A pivotal moment came when these challenges highlighted a clear gap in support for adults, prompting Natalie to move beyond corporate roles and establish her own platform focused on practical, real-world solutions.
Her career achievements reflect both impact and influence. As Founder of Dyslexia in Adults, Natalie has built a fast-growing business that now reaches thousands globally, helping individuals and organisations better understand dyslexia. She is also the Author of ‘Dyslexia Unlocked’, published by Bloomsbury, a highly practical guide designed to help adults gain confidence, implement effective strategies and recognise their strengths. Natalie has delivered keynote speeches, including at The Dyslexia Show, and has worked with major organisations such as BCG and Microsoft, advising on workplace inclusion and performance. Her work has been featured in leading publications, further establishing her as a trusted voice in adult dyslexia and neurodiversity.
Natalie is hired as a keynote speaker because she brings clarity, honesty and practical value to a topic that is often misunderstood. Her talks focus on dyslexia in the workplace, leadership and neurodiversity, and dyslexic thinking as a business asset. She helps organisations move beyond surface-level awareness and into meaningful change, equipping teams with tools that improve performance and confidence. Natalie’s sessions leave audiences with clear, actionable insights they can apply immediately. Her work matters because it addresses a critical gap in how businesses support cognitive difference, unlocking potential that is too often overlooked and enabling individuals and teams to perform at their best.
