The Power of Inclusion: Navigating Neurodiversity with Katherine McCord

Evolving to Exceptional with Jessica Tietjen

Description:

In this episode, we're joined by Katherine McCord, an entrepreneur and advocate for neurodiversity. In this episode, we explore the importance of embracing neurodiversity as different abilities, not disabilities. We discuss practical exercises for better communication and collaboration, the impact of inclusive policies, and the role of leadership in fostering genuine inclusion.

BIO:

From being the little girl who sold shares in her "company" and played HR (even firing her own mother!) to the traveling People Operations entrepreneur and international speaker that she is now, Katherine has had quite a journey! She has multiple physical and neuro diversities, ranging from MCAS and seizures to Bipolar and OCD, and says, “I am successful WITH my diagnosis, not in spite of them”. Whether it is revolutionizing HR Tech, innovating DEI, Recruiting, and HR for clients, or being the Founder of The Neuroverse, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to building inclusion and elevating neurodiversity, Katherine always brings everything back to her three missions: integrity, inclusion, and innovation.
