#133: Katherine McCord — Neurodiversity at Work, Unlocking Untapped Talent

Author: Gregory Favazza, M.S. (I-O) February 25, 2024 Duration: 56:20
Neurodiversity reflects natural differences in how people think, learn, and process information. In this episode, Gregory Favazza speaks with Katherine McCord about how conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, bipolar disorder, and OCD are often misunderstood and how traditional workplace systems unintentionally exclude capable talent. The conversation focuses on self-awareness, practical self-advocacy, and organizational design, reframing neurodiversity as a performance and systems issue rather than a deficit. Topics • neurodiversity in the workplace • self-awareness and identity • regulation and coping mechanisms • self-advocacy at work • inclusive systems and performance Outline (00:01) Neurodiversity and work environments (07:18) Personal experience and awareness (15:38) Adaptation and self-management (23:35) Regulation and ego mechanisms (35:24) Advocacy and communication (43:25) Workplace inclusion in practice (53:44) Interview dynamics Links Katherine McCordhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/katherine-mccord-093bb343/https://www.titanmanagementusa.comhttps://www.kmccordspeaking.com PODCAST INFO: Podcast website: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com⁠⁠ Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/apple⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/spotify⁠⁠ RSS: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/rss⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/youtube⁠⁠ SUPPORT & CONNECT: - Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/facebook⁠⁠ - Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/instagram⁠⁠ - TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/tiktok⁠⁠ - Twitter: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/x⁠⁠ - Pinterest: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/pinterest⁠⁠ - Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.ytsthepodcast.com/linkedin⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
