The Gift of Thinking Differently - A conversation with BCIT Alum, and entrepreneur Nigel Bennett

Sometimes, a unique way of thinking can be your greatest strength. For many neurodivergent individuals, success isn’t about following a well-marked road—it’s about carving a path of your own.

BCIT alumnus Nigel Bennett, known for his work as an author, philanthropist, co-founder of Aqua-Guard Spill Response Inc., and founder of GiftADD, experienced this firsthand.  As an individual with ADHD and dyslexia, Nigel’s journey wasn’t always a straight road. Instead, his story unfolds like a map with multiple routes—sometimes clear, sometimes winding, sometimes detouring into unexpected avenues.
