Dyslexia and Success in Business
by WIN Admin — published in Press Releases
Here’s something to make you think:
Research has found that 20% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic compared to just 4% of employed managers (who reflect the UK national incidence of dyslexia).
Do people with dyslexia have a special talent for business or do they simply have a narrow range of career options? Or is there something else that we don’t yet know about driving their choices?
Blue Sky Think and SES want to find out more because, whatever the explanation, this mismatch raises questions about how we prepare people for the world of work and how dyslexia impacts on those who choose to start businesses. It’s important because of the startling number of people affected by the issue.
We’re looking for entrepreneurs with dyslexia to participate in research which will shed light on why they are so prevalent in the business community. Those contributing to the research will have the opportunity to discover if their own experience mirrors that of others and perhaps learn a few strategies to take their own business forward.
