The word ‘Twilight’ can refer to the periods of time when illumination occurs.

An 8 month group coaching collaboration between Sync Alumni in Canada and Sync Alumni in Australia, Sync Twilight is a space for Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse leaders to:
- explore burning questions pertinent to disabled leadership today
- develop skills in facilitating and being part of an Action Learning Set
The programme trained 4 leaders from Canada and 4 from Australia in how to facilitate Action Learning Sets and worked with 26 leaders in total over the time period.
Sync Twilight is a vital, vibrant discursive troubleshooting space that illuminates the way forward.
Sync Twilight Participant
Many coaching, training, and mentoring processes are not neurodivergent-friendly, and can actually impact adversely. Sync Twilight is a neurodivergent-friendly process the encouragement to process aloud to feel that you are being deeply listened to is striking.
Sync Twilight Participant
Sync Twilight is a game changer not only learning how to facilitate this deeply respectful process but the affirmation element in Action Learning is so respectful, so generative and empowering. Taking time to notice and praise the effort in defying discrimination and finding solutions and a way forward is something that I will take forward with me.
