Sometimes, the best place to start is with a good question.

When Kay Suthar invited me onto her podcast Make Your Mark, she brought curiosity, clarity, and the kinds of questions leaders don’t always want to ask out loud.

  • What does neuro-inclusion actually mean?

  • Do team members need a diagnosis to benefit from it?

  • And how do you get teams to change… and stay changed?

In this lively discussion with Kay, I share how I accidentally discovered the power of neuro-inclusion for team trust and performance by applying communication shifts designed for my autistic son.

We also talk about:

  • The personal story behind my business.

  • The single biggest mistake companies make after motivating team  “awareness” sessions.

  • Why the easiest situation to implement this in is a one-person company that wants to set itself up for growth.

  • And you’ll see how Kay’s podcast tip turns out to be a wonderfuyl best practise of neuro-inclusive design.

This isn’t theory. It’s real life. It’s practical.

And it’s a great way in, whether you're a founder, team lead, or just curious.
