TWG S2 E11: Transforming and embracing neurodiversity in the workplace with Katherine McCord
Manage episode 397059272 series 3386484
In today's episode, we leave school and enter the workplace with special guest, Katherine McCord, HR Diversity Specialist. Having disabilities herself, she is sensitive to the impact diversity and inclusion have on long-term employment. She provides actionable insights and resources to support and advocate for neurodiverse individuals.
Bio: Katherine is neurodiverse (Bipolar, OCD, Misophonia) and physically diverse (multiple diagnoses including a seizure disorder). She says, "My neurodiversity is my superpower!"
My missions are integrity, innovation, and inclusion.
I enjoy speaking and providing actionable advice about:
* Entrepreneurship
* Breaking the ego mechanism to respond in curiosity
* Vulnerability and psychological safety
* Leadership
* Neurodiversity
* Diversity and inclusion (inclusion cannot be exclusive!!)
* Innovating hiring and HR
* HR Tech
* General empowerment
Notable Quote:
"Neurodiversity is not a deficit; it's just a difference. It does have its challenges, but there are also benefits. By understanding and accommodating these differences, we can transform workplaces and educational settings into more inclusive, productive environments. It's about breaking down barriers and responding with curiosity and flexibility."
