Women RISE

Celebrating Each Person's Uniqueness - With Jenn Grindeland


Listen Later

Does your organization struggle with team tension and feeling like you're not on the same page? Jenn has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master's degree in Organizational Leadership, and experience as a yoga and mindfulness teacher. With this background, she teaches teams leadership and communication skills that are thoughtfully designed to support equity for and inclusion of neurodivergent and invisibly disabled employees. It might appear on the outside that this doesn't apply to you, but Jenn shares that 15-30% of the U.S. workforce is neurodivergent or invisibly disabled, so you're guaranteed to have employees on your team who are silently struggling. 

In this conversation, we explore what becomes possible as a team leader when we take the time to understand and celebrate each team member's background and experiences. We discuss how leading from this vantage point allows for a working environment where everyone feels safe and respected, valued, and supported and how that provides, in turn, opportunities for everyone to contribute and grow.

Creating a more inclusive workplace helps those with hidden differences and everyone in the organization work more cohesively. Download a free inclusive communication checklist for listeners at www.theworkingwell.us/womenrise.
