In this episode of Make It Happen, we're joined by Nancy Disbrow—HR leader turned neurodiversity coach and founder of Neuro-osity. We met at the Toledo Tech Loft, where Nancy gave a Loft Talk that had me nodding along… and then wandering off (you’ll get that reference).
We dive deep into:
What it really means to be neurodivergent (ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and beyond)
Why so many CEOs operate differently—and how that’s often a superpower
Helping kids understand their brains, advocate for themselves, and stop thinking they’re “broken”
How workplaces can better support different kinds of thinkers
Tools and strategies for productivity, communication, and managing focus
We cover everything from parenting neurodivergent kids to managing a team full of different thinkers—and yes, we talk Percy Jackson, speed limits, and why negative self-talk needs to go.
Whether you’re a leader, teacher, parent, or just trying to figure out your own brain—this episode brings clarity, humor, and hope.
