Dr.Naoisé O'Reilly

About me: I’m a re-thinker, teacher and educational maverick for unboxable, outlier humans, big and small, who are struggling to fit in and conform to the ‘normal’ systems. My research, pedagogy & psychology-based frameworks help us get out of the world of labels, diagnosies and fixed thinking — so that we can bring all our amazing gifts to the surface in our education, our life, and in the way we impact the world. I know that yes, it can be useful to get a label for a complex set of challenges, emotions or behaviours. I am dyslexic, but my story definitely does not end there. What I’m saying is, I don’t believe the story ends with any label or diagnosis or behaviour. I believe in fact, they are simply the start of a rich, vibrant and creative narrative. I’m on a mission to re-write the story from wherever we are beginning, for you, and the generations before and after. I want an end to all the bright, creative, talented wonderful humans who don’t fit the current story of school, who waste days and years feeling so rejected from the world. I’m on a mission to help more people own and love the fact they don’t fit in - to turn the story perceived as a negative into the most positive, purposeful story in life.
