Are you under performing… or are you under-supported?
In this episode, I reflect on delivering neurodivergence training to managers and unpack a powerful workplace question: when someone isn’t meeting expectations, is it capability — or context?
Through a compassion-focused lens, we explore:
- The difference between equality and equity
- Why clarity around feedback and expectations matters deeply
- How rejection sensitivity can distort workplace communication
- Why ADHD is an explanation, not an excuse
- The shame–overwork–burnout cycle many high achievers fall into
- How psychological safety improves performance for everyone
Neurodivergent performance may not look neurotypical — and that doesn’t make it wrong.
Whether you’re a leader supporting staff or someone quietly masking and overworking to hide your struggles, this episode invites a shift: from blame to curiosity, from fear to compassion.
