  2. Neurodiversity At Work with Ed Thompson

Oct 10, 2023

In this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast, I am joined by Ed Thompson, the CEO and founder of Uptimize, to discuss the importance of neurodiversity in the workplace. Ed shares insights from his book, "A Hidden Force: Unlocking the Potential of Neurodiversity at Work," and explains how Uptimize is leading the way in training organizations to embrace neurodiversity.

 

We chat about the impact of neurodiversity on organizations, including the benefits of diverse thinking styles, the challenges neurodivergent individuals face, and the concept of masking. Ed highlights the value of creating inclusive and supportive work environments and provides real-world examples of how Uptimize's approach has helped organizations hire and retain top talent.
