Description

"What's your IQ?" might be a bit passé, but EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is your secret weapon for workplace success—especially when you're neurodivergent.

In this episode, Tonya breaks down the often-misunderstood world of emotional intelligence for neurodivergent professionals. You'll discover:

• Why traditional EQ advice fails neurodivergent brains (and what actually works instead)
• The five pillars of emotional intelligence translated into neurodivergent-friendly strategies
• Real-world scenarios where high EQ creates career advantages for ADHD, autistic, and other neurodivergent professionals
• Practical "brain-hack" techniques to read social cues more effectively without masking your authentic self

This episode is the beginning for me of a four-part series to talk more about emotional intelligence.
