Reena Anand
Contact Reena for:
• Neuroinclusion training and workshops for leaders and teams: practical, evidence-based sessions on building neuroinclusive workplaces, drawing on both corporate delivery experience (Sky, EY, Saatchi & Saatchi, Digitas) and lived and family experience of the systems being redesigned.
• Keynote speaking and panel appearances on neuroinclusion, workplace equity, and the intersection of neurodivergence with Global Majority identity.
• 1-1 coaching for neurodivergent professionals and leaders, using neurodivergent-affirming techniques and Clean Questions.
Reena Anand is the founder of Being Inclusive, a neuroinclusion consultancy working at the intersection of neurodivergence, workplace equity and cultural identity, with a particular focus on Global Majority communities - a perspective she brings as a member of that community navigating systems not designed for it, rather than as an advocate speaking on its behalf.
Her work spans corporate leadership training, 1-1 coaching, keynote speaking, and policy advisory, and her client list includes Sky, HSBC, Digitas, EY, Moorfields NHS Foundation Trust, the General Pharmaceutical Council and other industry regulators, Saatchi & Saatchi, Cafcass, and RSK, alongside ongoing work with schools and parent groups.
Reena qualified and practised as a solicitor and then spent almost 12 years at the Financial Ombudsman Service, progressing from investigator to ombudsman, ombudsman manager, and team lead on equality-related cases and cases involving highly vulnerable consumers; a background that gives her an analytical and systemic lens on organisational change. She holds a degree from LSE, a Masters from UCL, a Postgraduate Certificate in Neurodiversity Coaching for the Workplace (awarded with Distinction) from Birkbeck, is MSDUK Accredited and a qualified member of the Association for Coaching.
The catalyst for her work was personal: her eldest son's school suspension at the age of five, and the SEND system navigation that followed for both of her sons, with her own diagnosis arriving later. That lived, family experience continues to shape a practice that treats neuroinclusion as inseparable from cultural and racial identity.
These are among the outcomes she's proudest of:
> her neurodiversity and intersectionality e-learning contributing to a global media company removing the requirement for diagnosis disclosure in its reasonable adjustments process and decentralising decision-making to an independent adjustments team;
> a two-hour session at a school which lifted staff confidence in supporting Global Majority neurodivergent pupils from 38% to 81%; and
> she developed the neurodiversity supplement to the Race Equality Foundation's 25 year-strong Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities programme.
Across her community work she has reached over 1,000 parents and families.
Her recognition includes a place on the Guardian's 2026 Global Inclusion List, f:entrepreneur's Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs 2026, Lord Hastings Integrity Award at the Baton Awards for Race and Autism Advocacy, and the Freedom of the City of London, for the same. Her first book on parenting neurodivergent children from Global Majority backgrounds, will be published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in 2027.
