tell me, is your workplace neurologically safe? what’s working and what might be improved?

as a neurodivergent person who increasingly experiences overwhelmingly toxic environments, i think it’s important to acknowledge the needs of our nervous systems and three critical ingredients to any neurologically safe space.

i’m guessing you’ve heard of psychological safety - the conditions that make it safe to speak up….but what about “Neurological Safety™” - conditions that invite you to “keep calm and carry on”.

3. Prepare for pushback Imagine the arguments you might face and get curious to learn more. There may be another path to achieving outcomes that has not been considered.
