In this episode, we talk with Holly Foxcroft, a neurodiversity consultant and advocate, about how to create a more neuroinclusive workplace. Holly shares her personal experiences of living with autism and ADHD, and how this has shaped her work in this area. She also offers practical tips for leaders looking to create a more inclusive culture for neurodivergent individuals.
Understanding Neurodiversity
Holly emphasizes the importance of understanding neurodiversity and how it can manifest in different ways. She encourages leaders to educate themselves on the topic from various different avenues and not just take one person's word for it. She also stresses the need to be accountable for one's biases, whether conscious or unconscious.
Lived Experience
Holly stresses the importance of listening to people's lived experience and how it can offer a more heartfelt and empathetic understanding of neurodiversity. She recommends reading books such as "Why I Jump" and "Dirty Laundry " to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of people with autism and ADHD respectively.
Being an Inclusive Leader
Holly emphasizes the need for leaders to be more inclusive and to create a culture where everyone feels supported. She suggests that leaders ask for help and learn from people who have walked in the shoes of neurodivergent individuals. She also recommends that leaders make neurodiversity a boardroom subject and ensure that it is spoken about as a strategic movement from the top down.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
