In this episode, weâre tackling a topic thatâs both incredibly important and eye-openingâunderstanding and supporting neurodivergent needs in the workplace. Sounds like a heavy topic?
Well, itâs actually one thatâs filled with tons of practical, real-world tips that could make a huge difference in your work environment.
From sensory needs to access and support, weâre breaking it all down in a way thatâs easy to digest andâdare we sayâkind of fun. If youâve ever wondered how to make your workplace more inclusive (or just want to know what âneurodivergentâ even means), this episode is for you.
Pasha Marlowe (she/they), is a trained marriage and family therapist, coach, speaker, and author. She wrote the best selling book "Creating Cultures of Neuroinclusion" and is recognized in Forbes as a neurodiversity expert. She enjoys presenting keynotes and workshops on neurodiversity-affirming practices and policies to organizations around the globe. Pasha proudly identifies as multiply-neurodivergent, disabled, and queer.
Some of the things you'll hear are:
1.) Why we need to get away from talking in terms of functioning labels (ADHD, bipolar disorder, disabled, autism) and instead focus on unique needs
2.) How to focus specifically on three categories of needs: sensory, support, and access
3.) The practical things you can do and ask to be more inclusive of neurodivergent people
4.) How Pasha "Bucks That!" when she gives presentation, and how that can empower you
5.) How to talk with your child or children who might be neurodivergent

"It took a lot of bravery for me to finally say, 'I haven't been following my innateness. I've been following the script. I've been following the rules. I've been following the norms,' but I don't think they're really me."
"It's a bit tricky when you have a team with diverse needs, but I find that creating a psychologically safe space goes a long way. Itâs important to foster an environment where itâs okay to ask for or claim a need and request accommodations.â
ââI'm a much happier person if I can do the things that I love and less of the things that just hurt.â
ââIf you identify as neurodivergent, by definition, you're rejecting the label disorder because you're saying that there are differences. There are not disorders. There are differences and not deficiencies.â

ADD and ADHD are finally getting some much-needed recognition in the workplace, but hereâs the real questionâare leaders ready to keep up?
Itâs one thing to acknowledge these neurodivergent traits, but it's another to actually adapt, ditching outdated systems and embracing new ways to lead. Spoiler alert: itâs not just about letting people fidget or work in burstsâitâs about creating a culture where everyone thrives, distractions and all.
So, are leaders truly on board? Well, one leader is and sheâs telling you how sheâs doing it.

âThe headline is you don't have to be a victim. The best is not over.â
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again, expecting different results.â
"It's so easy to get caught up in being the victim and blame it on all the thingsâperimenopause, the company, the macro environmentâbut there's always a different way to do things."
"The moment I stopped focusing on what I couldnât control and started focusing on what I could, everything shifted."

"So often, we're worried about losing our sense of importance. Thatâs why people are afraid of humor. But the truth is, lightening up allows us to take risks. It helps us think differently, communicate differently, and makes us more receptive."
"There are ways to bring humor into situations without putting yourself in a vulnerable position. There are plenty of ways to take the risk out of humor."
âIf you're looking for humor in moments, you're going to find humor in those moments.â
âLaughing is one of the easiest ways to be mindful.â
âBe yourself and bring that to everything.â

âDon't mess with me. It is not going to go well for you.â
âYou can't do this well if you don't believe you deserve more.â
âOur communication, our action, our approaches, if they're grounded in what you feel is legitimately deserving, what you legitimately deserve, you're going to be much more compelling.â
âWhat can I do to shift this?â

"If I keep tearing down the scaffolding and starting from zero every time, I'll never get past the halfway point. I need to build on the foundation that came before meâthat's how I improve, and that's how we get better."
"They hired you not to be the person who was here before, but to be yourselfâand more. To be that person, plus you."
"It's about taking the map from someone who's holding it upside down and saying, 'Let's start by turning the map right side up and heading to a place we agree is wonderful, better, or different.'"
âI am putting my stamp on it and I don't feel apologetic.â

âAuthenticity as a currency makes you rich. It's not the car. It's not the job title. Your level of authenticity is your richness. It is your value. If you have that, lead with that.â
âDon't wait for somebody else to take that risk and get that job because they have the freaking guts to get off the freaking train of doing the same wheels to the motion.â
âHow many of us feel out of control? And that is why we can't be our authentic self.â
âAnd then I wrote a really funny rap song about the experience and sent it around to everybody because you know, that's worth 30 minutes of my lunchtime.â
