Workplace struggles for neurodistinct employees are rarely caused by a lack of talent. They’re caused by systems that create unnecessary friction and environments that were never designed for cognitive diversity.

In this episode of Your Transformation Station, Grant Harris, MBA, CDE, examines why neurodiverse employees often face preventable barriers, how traditional performance models fail them, and the measurable organizational costs of burnout, disengagement, and turnover.

AI isn’t sweeping across the workforce the way the hype promised — but something far more important is happening beneath the surface. Gallup’s newest national Workforce Study reveals a surprising shift: AI adoption has stalled, but AI mastery is accelerating. A small group of power users is pulling ahead while the rest of the workforce stands still.

In this episode of Your Transformation Station, Gregory Favazza (@ytsthepodcast) breaks down the latest Gallup data to uncover what’s really happening inside American organizations. You’ll learn:

Why nearly half of U.S. workers still never use AI

Why daily and frequent AI use continues to rise

How leaders use AI 2× more than their teams

Why remote‑capable roles are adopting AI at double the rate of on‑site workers

Which industries are accelerating — and which are falling behind

What employees actually use AI for (hint: it’s not coding)

The #1 barrier stopping organizations from wider adoption

Gregory also explains how Gallup collects this data, why it’s considered the gold standard for workforce insights, and what these trends mean for the future of work, leadership, and digital capability.

If you want to understand the real state of AI in the workplace — beyond the hype — this episode gives you the clarity and data you need.
