EP 65:  Queer, Neurodivergent, and Leading at Work

Ever feel like you’re working twice as hard just to look "normal"?

We discuss why "boring" systems can actually be a form of self-care, how to handle the "shame spiral" of negative feedback, and the 4-step framework for successful workplace adjustments.Key Takeaways:• Intersectionality matters: You are a whole person, not a series of separate labels.• Stop the disclaimers: Why we feel the need to "warn" people before we communicate.• Systems over shame: Moving from "what broke?" to "how can we be smarter next time?Website: https://empauher.com/LinkedIn: Janine Evans-PollardEmail: [email protected]
