Sensory Intelligence with Annemarie Lombard

In epic 100th episode (for this podcast) Dawna speaks with Dr Annemarie Lombard who is the Founder and CEO of Sensory intelligence® Consulting. Sensory intelligence is something everyone has but may not be aware of despite how important it is to foresight, insights and maintaining a healthy workplace environment. Their mission? To help people be healthy, productive and happy.

We talk about:

Sensory processing styles - understanding sensory thresholds and how they influence productivity, wellbeing and relationshipsOpen plan office productivity - insights and strategies to balance collaboration and distractionRelationships and teamwork - sensory diversity as a tool to display empathy and care and value diverse thinking and intelligences

Facilities are often viewed simply as structures to house people at work but they could be so much more when human needs are taken into account. Imagine a building or space design as a valued element of well-being! Though it's not too far-fetched it is also not valued enough! Listen in to this conversation where you learn about a hidden talent that can keep you healthy, and balanced.

Annemarie has a PhD in Occupational therapy, acquired through the University of Cape Town in 2012. She has 30 years of global experience in people development and learning and practiced as an occupational therapist for 15 years dealing with children with special needs, learning, and attention difficulties before starting Sensory intelligence®. She is the thought leader behind Sensory Intelligence®, a sensory processing subject expert, and the author of the book “Sensory Intelligence: Why It Matters More Than IQ and EQ”, published in 2007.
