You remember being taught that each person is unique and different and special in their own way. That’s still true. And organizations are finally catching up.
We know that we all react differently to different situations and we need different tools to succeed. Opening the door to those conversations not only supports neurodiverse employees, but entire teams benefit. And are more successful as a result.
This week on the pdocast, Chris Turner of Neuro Advantage is sharing what those conversations might look like and how to get them started. And he normalizes the differences we can’t see among team members.
There are so many misconceptions around why one person might react differently to adversity than another. Let’s start the conversation or, better yet, let’s just assume that we all need support in some way.
