No two brains are the same and nowhere is this more evident than at work. While one person may feel overwhelmed by frequent meetings, another may crave daily interaction with their team. And just as one person thrives in remote work, another flourishes amidst the vibrancy of the office. These differences are a tremendous strength because individuals who think, communicate, and process stimuli differently also come up with distinct insights, perspectives and solutions. Unfortunately, many work environments are often tailored exclusively to the most common types of brains, leaving neurodivergent brains—often associated with labels such as giftedness, high sensitivity, autism, ADHD, and dyslexia—without the space to deploy their specific talents. This results in the enormous potential of neurodiversity going untapped.
Saskia Schepers has interviewed countless neurodivergent individuals and crafted immediately applicable tools that empower employees and leaders to shape a neuro-inclusive workplace. This book - which has been nominated as best book of the year 2024 by managementboek.nl - provides neurodivergent individuals with a fresh perspective on their capabilities and equips their environment with the tools to fully leverage them. And that's not just beneficial for neurodivergent individuals, but for everyone—because, in the end, all brains operate differently.
