The discussion unpacks what neurodiversity actually means in a workplace context, how tech leaders can recognize neurodivergent traits in their teams, and what genuine support and inclusion look like in practice. Kari introduces her practical 3-step system - built around understanding individual needs, tailoring communication, and leading with a strengths-first mindset - giving leaders concrete tools to bring out the best in every team member.
