#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.

Gregory Favazza brings a unique perspective to Your Transformation Station, shaped by his background as a military veteran and a practitioner with a Masters in Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Gregory has developed a practical, in situ methodology for navigating these shifts, drawing from his experience as a Top 100 host on major platforms. You'll hear discussions that sit at the intersection of I-O psychology, AI leadership, and structured learning processes like After Action Reviews. The content is grounded in real-world application, moving beyond theory to explore how individuals and organizations can genuinely transform in an era of constant technological change. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of resilience and strategy, where complex ideas about management and human behavior are broken down with clarity and purpose.
