What does it mean to move from understanding neurodiversity to practicing neuro-inclusion in leadership coaching?
In this powerful episode, Terri Donohue, an ICF-accredited Inclusive Leadership Coach, dives deep into how neuro-inclusive coaching is more than just a niche—it's a movement. With personal stories, sharp insights, and practical strategies, Terri explores how leaders and coaches can transform environments to support all brains—not just neurotypical ones.
🧠 Learn how to:
Define neurodiversity and neuro-inclusion in practical terms
Shift from awareness to action using the neurodiversity paradigm
Create coaching spaces that honor sensory, processing, and communication needs
Build systems using universal design that benefit everyone, not just neurodivergent people
If you're a coach, leader, HR professional, or simply someone who believes in the power of inclusion, this episode offers a blueprint for leading with intention, compassion, and equity.
