What about Hewlet Packard……William Hewlett the founder was also dyslexic.

What about Lexxic, yes that is right www.lexxic.com…..This is where Nicola James the Psychologist coaches  Entrepreneurs and Dyslexic adults in London

What has she found being dyslexic herself?
Indeed, Statistics show that 1 in 5 entrepreneurs are dyslexic.
Dyslexia, often known as the hidden disability affects up to 2.9 million workers in the UK.
It reports that many employers do not realise that Dyslexia has officially been classified as a disability since the passing of the 1995 Disability Discrimination act (DDA).

Studies have shown that dyslexic individuals may possess a wealth of talents shared by non dyslexics, as well as certain skills that are not. Dyslexics often have strengths including visualisation and creativity.

Yet, in studies 73% of the non-dyslexics rated themselves as very confident where as only 7% of dyslexics rated themselves in this way. Why is that considering that that 35% of entrepreneurs in the U.S. show signs of dyslexia, compared to 20% in Britain.
