Welcome to Intentional Conversations, where we intersect diversity, equity, and inclusion with leadership and business.

This week we welcome Kelly George, founder / CEO of Real Resilience, where she helps leaders and organizations create emotional ecosystems with the neurodiverse in mind, to the Intentional Conversations co-host chair.

So, grab your headphones 🎧, press play, and let the conversation go!

Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel because we're all about keeping the great conversations flowing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM KELLY:

• Isolation is what stifles us moving through difficult times. When you name it, you get power over your emotions and the steps you must take next.
• Bipolar is a hidden disability.
• Neurodiversity focuses on how your brain processes and takes in information.
• Making conversations normalized really starts with being able to take care of yourself well.
• For neurodivergents - give your employees space to create their plan if they’re not well.
• When someone is not at their best, they retreat into themselves. So make your wellness plan part of onboarding.
• Do we do heart, mind and body check-ins?
• Make space to witness yourself. Celebrate yourself and journal about it. Getting it on paper makes it feel real.
• How do I self regulate? Think about your legacy and what you want it to be.
