What if the traits you thought made you ‘weird’… are actually what make you a brilliant leader?
In this episode of Culture by Neurodesign, Dr Lisa Colledge speaks with Lee September, Software Engineering Manager at Bol.com.
Lee shares how discovering his neurodivergence, and embracing traits like sensitivity, empathy and deep perception, have shaped the way he leads. These traits have become key assets in both his leadership of a tech team and his work as a driving force behind Bol.com’s successful Neurodivergence Business Resource Group (BRG).
🎧 This episode is especially for:
• BRG or ERG leads looking for inspiration to maintain progress.
• Neurodivergent professionals finding their own leadership voice.
• Leaders ready to evolve their team culture to encourage curiosity.
🔥 Key themes include:
• How discovering his neurodivergence shaped Lee’s leadership journey.
• BRG leadership, strategy, and sustaining momentum, without burning out.
• Practical ways that team leads can build neuroinclusive team environments.
• What happens when you lead with empathy and trust, and let people surprise you. Whether you’re building a business case for neuro-inclusion, or starting to define your own authentic leadership style, Lee’s story shows why the future of our workplaces is neurodivergent-aware and -enabling.
