Purpose & Passion

Neurodiversity Consultant and Trainer
Akili Atkinson is a certified Purpose Coach, certified Autism Specialist and Founder/CEO of the purpose consulting firm Akili’s Corner. My experience as a trainer and consultant spans over 15 years of professional diversity integration. I specializes in training, diversity and inclusion, disability development, and technique implementation strategies. My approach is impact-oriented, balancing compassion with discipline while delivering lasting results.
As a Distinguished Toastmaster and an award-winning international speaker, I provide understandable clarity to training. I hold an MBA from Southern Nazarene University and am a doctoral candidate in Adult Education with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion. Purpose and passion drive my work by helping people realize their potential.
Since beginning as a small consulting firm, Akili’s Corner has grown to include presentations and keynote speaking about employment challenges and training techniques surrounding ASD and other social and learning differences.
I expanded my already wide-ranging knowledge about neurological differences to include ASD as the gap of independent living and employment widened. With a variety of career endeavors spanning over 15 years, my knowledge brings unique training techniques to both individuals and companies globally.
During these challenging times, let me help bring clarity to diversity and inclusion understanding for your workplace. I provide comprehensive content for engaging keynote presentations and sessions training.
