Episode 48: What the neurodivergence? Sabine van Ditzhuizen puts me on the spot about neuro-inclusive design

In this fast-paced, no-fluff conversation for Sabine van Ditzhuizen’s What the DEI? series, I get put on the spot about neuro-inclusive design: what it means, why it matters, and how to make it work without drowning leaders in yet more DEI programs.

You’ll hear: • Terminology: neurodiversity and neurodivergence. • Business strengths linked to autism, ADHD and dyslexia - and trade-offs. • Why you don’t need people to “disclose” before you design for their needs. • Two easy neuro-inspired changes that will transform your team’s engagement. • The data that proves cognitive diversity + the right culture = better problem-solving. • How my learning in parenting my autistic son transformed my approach to leadership. • Why I sympathize with DEI fatigue, and how to make inclusion energising and impactful again.
