For our first episode of season 2, I’m super excited to share a very special conversation with Becca Chambers, an award-winning brand and communications executive, a trusted cyber security advisor and seasoned business strategist for tech companies around the world.
When she isn’t spearheading high-functioning teams or skilfully executing key initiatives, you’ll find her contributing to thought leadership pieces featured in publications like Forbes, The New York Post, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal and many others.
But… that’s just half of the story. At her core, Becca is someone who *thinks different*. In fact, she’s built a stellar reputation on the back of her dynamic and out-of-the-box thinking, leading teams to success with an inclusive and results-orientated approach.
And it’s an approach that delivers, earning Becca and her colleagues the moniker of #TeamGSD – because they Get… Shit... Done.
So, what do I mean by thinking differently? Well, quite literally, I’m talking about Neurodiversity. For those unfamiliar, Neurodiversity is a framework for mental health, a perspective that views variations in the way people think and interact with the world as just that – differences. Think of it like the natural variations that occur between different types of people, like height, eye colour, skin type or other biological characteristics, only, these variations have to do with our brains.
Neuro – meaning mind, and diversity, to diverge or be different from the “norm”.
As you’ll hear in this episode, apart from the obvious social benefits that can come from a more inclusive environment,organisations are potentially leaving real-world dollars on the table by not tapping into the massive neurodiverse talent pool. It’s been recognised that neurodiverse individuals can offer novel perspectives, attention to detail, creativity, innovation, advanced pattern recognition, astute observations, fierce loyalty and strong leadership.
We also talk about Becca’s journey and personal experience with neurodiversity, the little adjustments that can help organisations be more neuro-inclusive, strengths and stereotypes, the impact ofremote working, the importance of being outcome-orientated, how she’s creating awareness for the neurodiverse community and much more.
