Level Up Lunch: Leading the Neurodiverse: Embracing the Richness of Diverse Minds with Liz Carlson

Nearly 1 in 5 adults self‑identify as neurodivergent, yet research shows that the majority of neurodivergent adults go undiagnosed due to masking, stigma, and outdated diagnostic tools. This means the true number is likely closer to 1 in 3 — making neurodivergence one of the most common and most overlooked forms of diversity in today’s workplace.
This workshop explores the rising need for inclusive leadership in environments where diverse minds are not the exception but the norm. Drawing on her experience as a workplace leader and parent of neurodivergent children, Liz Carlson offers practical strategies to move beyond outdated approaches and lead with empathy. Participants will learn tools to better attune to others, hold space during moments of dysregulation, communicate with clarity, and infuse kindness into daily interactions.
By embracing the richness of diverse minds, leaders can create environments where everyone thrives—and the strategies shared benefit all team members, not just those who are neurodivergent.
