E22 Brain-Savvy Leadership: Neurodiversity as a Leadership Strategy (Not a Checkbox) with Gina Brown
Lead with Spark · 2025-11-13 · 53 min
Episode notes
Leaders don’t just manage tasks, they design the environment where people and ideas thrive. In this conversation with Gina Brown (MAGNIFY Innovation & Leadership), we break down what neurodiversity really means, how executive function shows up at work (focus, working memory, transitions), and practical ways to build cultures of empathy, clarity, and curiosity, without lowering the bar. If you’ve ever felt “successful despite yourself,” this one gives you language, tools, and grace.
