You don’t need to change who you are to lead. You need a system that can grow and change with you.

In this week’s episode of Hope, Power and Healthcare, our hosts Melissa and Chris are joined by two special guests – Dr. Sarah Adler, Founder & CEO of Wave Life and Allison Holzer, Founder & CEO of Aha2Impact, for a thoughtful conversation about neurodivergent leadership, innovation under pressure, and building cultures that actually work for real humans.

This episode is a masterclass in how leaders can stop forcing themselves into systems that weren’t designed for them, and how to start building something better.

Because neurodivergence isn’t something to be “fixed”, it’s something to be leveraged.
