A New Conversation About Human Intelligence
Ladbroke Hall in hosts an evening exploring perception, neurodiversity, intuition, and the future of human potential
LONDON — What if the children who don't fit our current models of learning, behavior, and development are helping us discover a larger map of human intelligence?
Across homes, schools, and workplaces, growing numbers of children and adults are being described as neurodivergent, highly sensitive, intuitive, gifted, or difficult to categorize. Parents, educators, and leaders are often left with questions that labels and diagnoses alone do not answer.
MultiSensory Intelligence™ (MSI) explores a simple but profound possibility: that beneath many of the behaviors we label, diagnose, celebrate, or misunderstand are distinct ways of perceiving and making sense of the world.
Rather than beginning with behavior, MSI begins with perception.
On Tuesday, 7 July 2026, Ladbroke Hall, North Kensington, will host The Wonder Children and the Evolution of Human Intelligence, an evening in conversation between Dr. Therese Rowley, founder of The Wonder Children and creator of MultiSensory Intelligence™, and Margot Hennessy, a business leader whose expertise is in organisational and human behavior.
Drawing on more than three decades of work with children, families, leaders, and organizations, Dr. Rowley will share the observations that led to the development of MSI and the possibility that many of the qualities we call sensitivity, intuition, creativity, intensity, and neurodiversity may reflect forms of intelligence that have not yet been fully understood.
The conversation will explore how perception shapes learning, communication, relationships, decision-making, and human development—and what becomes possible when we seek to understand how a child perceives before evaluating how they perform.
Audience questions follow the conversation and informal discussion continuing afterward.

About Dr. Therese Rowley
For more than thirty years, Dr. Therese Rowley has worked at the intersection of leadership, transformation, intuition, and human development.
As a business advisor and consultant, she partnered with leaders to guide enterprise-wide transformation, aligning strategy, culture, and purpose. As an educator, she taught leadership and change management at universities across the U.S. and founded the Conscious Business Network in Chicago. As an intuitive practitioner, she conducted more than 14,000 readings and healings, helping individuals gain clarity about the patterns influencing their lives, relationships, and decisions.
Across these seemingly different worlds, one question continued to surface: Why did the behavior of so many highly sensitive, intuitive, creative, and intense children seem so misaligned with traditional academic and societal expectations?
That inquiry led to the development of MultiSensory Intelligence™ (MSI), an emerging framework that shifts the focus from behavior to perception as a foundation for understanding the expanded capacities of human intelligence. Today, Dr. Rowley is the founder of The Wonder Children and the MSI Discovery Labs initiative, advancing a new conversation about intelligence, neurodiversity, and the future of human development.
About Margot Hennessy
For more than thirty years, Margot has led large-scale initiatives to align business strategies, purpose, and organisational cultures that unlock human potential.
Margot has worked internationally, both ‘in house’ leadership roles and as a senior counsel to leaders whose interest is in leading organisational and societal ambitions by leveraging human potential.
Margot holds a Master's in Commerce specializing in Organisational Behaviour, four years of psychodrama director training, and extensive experience in leadership and leadership development. She brings a unique lens to leaders that combines commercial judgment, group and relational dynamics, and conversations that unlock new ways of thinking and behaviours.
Her work in leadership and the tens of thousands one-to-one in-depth conversations with leaders, across geographies, industries and decades have all had two things in common: how to unlock their personal potential and the potential of those they lead.
Margot has followed Dr. Therese Rowley’s work for over ten years and is excited by the development of the MultiSensory Intelligence (MSI) and the impact it can have on creating new pathways to thinking about intelligence.
