Culture by Neurodesign is the podcast where I share expert insights and conversations with guests on how cognitive inclusion - inspired by neurodivergence - transforms working cultures. The result? Teams that are happier, healthier, and perform at their best.

Drawing on practices that support neurodivergent thinking styles like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, I explore how leaders can design resilient, innovative environments where every team member - whatever their neurostyle - contributes their best and thrives.

Whether you’re building a new team, resetting culture, or addressing systemic performance challenges, Culture by Neurodesign gives you the strategies to create Neuro-Inspired Teams™ and turn invisible effort into lasting impact.
