Summary
Tech already runs on neurodivergent brains. We just don’t talk about it.
Let’s be real:
Many of the most brilliant, innovative, relentless engineers I’ve worked with also struggled with unspoken burnout, masking, or misfitting team rituals.
They had ADHD. Autism. OCD. Dyslexia. But what they needed wasn’t a label. It was understanding. Adjustments. Leadership that sees them.
That’s why I’m hosting this next TLL LinkedIn Live with Anita Kalmane - Boot, who’s walked this path, built inclusive teams, and leads with clarity most of us can only aspire to.
🎙️ Neurodiversity in Tech Teams
📅 Thursday, August 21 | 6 PM AEST
We’ll dive into:
- Why neurodiversity is already part of your team, whether you know it or not
- How to build psychological safety without performative checkboxes
- The future of technical leadership: evidence-based, inclusive, outcome-focused
No fluff. Just practical leadership tools that create real belonging.
