In this fast-paced, no-fluff conversation for Sabine van Ditzhuizen’s What the DEI? series, I get put on the spot about neuro-inclusive design: what it means, why it matters, and how to make it work without drowning leaders in yet more DEI programs.

You’ll hear:
• Terminology: neurodiversity and neurodivergence.
• Business strengths linked to autism, ADHD and dyslexia - and trade-offs.
• Why you don’t need people to “disclose” before you design for their needs.
• Two easy neuro-inspired changes that will transform your team’s engagement.
• The data that proves cognitive diversity + the right culture = better problem-solving.
• How my learning in parenting my autistic son transformed my approach to leadership.
• Why I sympathize with DEI fatigue, and how to make inclusion energising and impactful again.
