Core Question for this AC Fellow Pop-up Session

What does effective workplace coaching look like when it is genuinely inclusive of disability and neurodivergence?

AC Fellow Guest

Rebecca Jiggens is a workplace disability coach, trainer, and academic with extensive experience supporting neurodivergent and disabled professionals in complex organisational environments. She is Director and co-founder of The Work Inclusion Project (TWIP), a disabled-led social enterprise that delivers coaching, consultancy, and in-work support to improve disability inclusion in professional and academic workplaces. The majority of TWIP staff are disabled people themselves, and therefore Rebecca has extensive experience of being an employer of disabled people, to bring the realities of the workplace to her coach training.

Rebecca’s coaching practice is grounded in relational, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches. She specialises in working with clients navigating stress, burnout, conflict, and adjustment in inaccessible work settings, and has a particular interest in supporting disabled professionals in the early stages of their careers. Her practice is informed by over a decade’s experience in service development and safeguarding, including in higher education and voluntary sector leadership roles.

Rebecca has an LLM in Employment Law and is completing her PhD in 2025 on the jurisprudence of disability employment law, co-founder of the Disabled Workers Union and is awaiting the outcome of her assessment for Chartered Fellowship of the CIPD, and is a Fellow of the Association for Coaching, with an extensive history of coaching in social enterprise and charity governance settings before career switching to disability employment law 10 years ago.
