#237 Being Different at Work & In Life
Tuesday Oct 11, 2022
Tuesday Oct 11, 2022
Neuro diversity is a hot topic – media coverage and depiction of those with autism, ADHA, dyslexia, etc are leading to more self-identification (aka no formal diagnosis).
Those that have always seen and interacted with the world differently are finally being given a voice.
Mental health media coverage is opening conversations around those of us (myself included) who have always felt and sensed the world differently as well.
It’s becoming more well-known that neuro-emotional divergence is a strength – not a weakness. And companies and societal structures seek us out due to that strength.
If you’ve always felt like you didn’t quite fit in… seeing, feeling, and interacting differently than others do but you're struggling with how to employ it in your life, this episode is for you.
Tune in to explore:
- What are neuro and emotional divergences
- How different doesn’t equal wrong – it just equals being different (and the hidden creative power in that)
- The trouble with stimulus/response communication and how it leads to conscious bias/exclusion for the divergent population
- How to get clarity on how you function from exploring these labels but not get stuck in the negative of them
- Why society and companies need (and are looking for!) those who function differently
