IN THIS EPISODE:

This episode I speak with Susan Fitzell, an expert in neuro-diversity about the challenges of incorporating and accommodating a neuro-diverse workforce into the modern workplace. The reality is that neuro-divergent workers have always existed but we’re only now gaining an awareness and appreciation of their impact – and the need to adapt the way that we lead and manage. Susan shares some tips and strategies to support neuro-divergent thinkers and help bring out their best work.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

For over 30 years, international speaker, author, coach, Susan Fitzell has worked closely with educators, students, and high performing employees to discover their personal learning preferences so they can learn fast and achieve more. She zeros in on what motivates employees so they can get their job done and break through self-imposed limitations.

She inspires and motivates audiences with her practical, productive, and efficient learning strategies as well as her positive, uplifting approach. Her philosophy is, “Can’t is a four-letter word!” Believe you CAN and do GREAT things by using your talents and strengths.

She’s a black belt in kickboxing and a student of kung fu. Her family prides themselves in being geeks and her two adult children have both earned degrees in mechanical engineering using the strategies that she shares with her clients.
