  • Neurodiversity Lets Create An Individual Work Plan

    Send us a text

    A question that comes up from business and their hr or manager executives is how do we apply Neurodiversity strategies where we can measure adequate outcomes that are a win-win for both us and the employee?

    This is a fair and justifiable question and my answer to this is to be “Be People-Centric” where the employee is the priority with the support and accommodations needed.

    The Be People-Centric approach can be applied from two pre-existing systems, which of course requires some understanding and adjustments. Let’s examine these two systems and see how we can apply them in the workplace to neurodiverse employees...

  • Neurodiversity: Mental Health In The Workplace

    Send us a text

    Are you facing an unbearable wall with no one to turn to? Or are you told to move on, take a pill and just deal with it?

    Let’s be honest, mental health in the workplace is not a new topic. We know it is an issue that will not go away and it faces resistance in environments where co-workers, managers and employers do not want to acknowledge mental health because it is ‘taboo’. What makes this more challenging is the lack of understanding that the mind and body are connected, which means poor mental health can and does affect the body. Yet, many individuals who deal with these issues daily are afraid to be open up to what they face, both with their family or on the job.

    Now, let’s throw Neurodiversity on top of mental health. 

    When we put the two side by side, we see there are quite a few similarities: No one wants to acknowledge that the two exist in the workplace; there is an unwillingness to talk about the two; the work environment may not be safe to mention it and both are viewed as ‘taboo’ and no one wants to deal with them...

  • Neurodiversity Employers, Managers, Are you understood

    Send us a text

    When we get our message out, and everyone has understood us, we are delighted, as this means we presented well. Those around us join our cause and they know what to do to get the task done.

    The dilemma is how often are we truly understood and how often do we take the time to ensure those that we lead and manage understand our message of what we want?

    Too often leaders and managers fire off instructions or commands with the expectations that because they have spoken that all is made clear and that everyone has understood. What is even funnier is they tell them to take notes as if the note-taking alone will further solidify that they had understood...

  • Neurodiversity: Learned Helplessness

    Send us a text

    We often get caught in this vicious internal cycle, where we believe we can’t accomplish anything because of our learning difficulties. We become to believe that we are not capable of a particular subject or task because we are not good enough or we are just not intelligent.

    When this goes unchecked, it leads to depression, it can affect intelligence, lead to low performance and, of course, poor self-esteem

    What do we call this?

    We know this as Learned helplessness...

  • Focus On their Strengths not their challenges

    Send us a text

    Has any manager, hr, or owner ever said to you, if I had known that you were ADHD or Dyslexic or ... I’ll let you fill in the blank, that I would have never hired you!

    And, this could be despite the fact that you have worked for them for several years where you may have performed well at your job and yet they only see your difference and immediately discriminate.

    In today's episode, I provide some examples of skills you would want when hiring a Neurodiversity individual.

  • Neurodiversity: Do you know who you work with?

    Send us a text

    A workplace environment is filled with a wide variety of people.  Some are recognized others are ignored, while others face Neurodiversity  challenges that are not understood or supportive.  Employes and managers can see these employees challenges as difficult because, for example, they have time management or focusing issues; which, in turn, leads to productivity concerns.

    Neurodiverse employees have many strengths but can be overlooked due to their challenges.   Businesses have a well of untapped talent which is not being lead to innovation and profitability.

    In today's episode, I cover some of these topics and provide tips on how to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace where people feel valued.
