Are you under performing… or are you under-supported?
In this episode, I reflect on delivering neurodivergence training to managers and unpack a powerful workplace question: when someone isn’t meeting expectations, is it capability — or context?
Through a compassion-focused lens, we explore:
The difference between equality and equityWhy clarity around feedback and expectations matters deeplyHow rejection sensitivity can distort workplace communicationWhy ADHD is an explanation, not an excuseThe shame–overwork–burnout cycle many high achievers fall intoHow psychological safety improves performance for everyoneNeurodivergent performance may not look neurotypical — and that doesn’t make it wrong.
Whether you're a leader supporting staff or someone quietly masking and overworking to hide your struggles, this episode invites a shift: from blame to curiosity, from fear to compassion.
