What if being neurodivergent—seeing the world through a unique lens—wasn’t a challenge to overcome, but a gift to harness?
In this episode, I sit down with Dianne A. Allen, the powerhouse CEO and Founder of Visions Applied, to talk about what it truly means to step into your brilliance as a neurodivergent leader. She worked with high-level executives, musicians like Kenny Loggins, educators, and researchers, proving that when neurodivergent minds are given the right space and understanding, they create magic.
One of the most powerful takeaways? Understanding that you don’t have to operate at full speed all the time. Neurodivergent leaders often get more done in two hours than others do in eight—but that doesn’t mean you need to burn yourself out proving it.
Take notes and let’s redefine what leadership looks like—for those of us who refuse to fit in. Listen now and step into the authority that’s always been yours.
