What Leaders Get Wrong About Neurodiversity

Most leaders have a plan for a fire drill. Almost none have a plan for a mental health crisis.That gap is not a values problem. It is a systems problem. And I promise you, it is already showing up in your workplace whether you can see it or not.In this episode of Not Like Me, I sit down with two experts who work where behavior, the brain, and real-world performance intersect. Sarah McFarland is a board certified behavior analyst with over 13 years of experience training teams to respond with skill instead of emotion. Dr. Alicia Hodge is a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy and wellness innovation, and her work is grounded in one core truth: what we think drives how we feel, and how we feel drives how we behave.We get into the conversation most leaders are not having. And probably should have started years ago.In this episode:What neurodiversity actually means and who it already includes on your teamHow anxiety shows up at work in ways most leaders completely misreadThe perfectionism trap: what it looks like, what it costs, and what to do about itWhy companies have protocols for physical emergencies but almost nothing for mental health crisesWhy rapport is not a soft skill but the foundation of trust, disclosure, and resultsHow to reframe rest as a leadership strategy, not a rewardThis episode is for every leader who has ever misread someone on their team and wondered what they missed.📌 Mentioned in this episode: Ally Leadership by Stephanie Chung → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9ZRMMZH🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Not Like Me. 📲 Follow Stephanie: https://learn.stephaniechung.com/stephanie-chung-social
