Companies are hiring neurodivergent talent to build their algorithms, power their hedge funds, and design their AI. Then they lose those people, and nobody can explain why. In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with Caroline Maguire, social-emotional learning expert and author of Why Will No One Play With Me? and the new Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults (Hachette). Caroline has spent more than two decades on a problem that, as she puts it, "people really didn't talk about": the social gaps that make it harder for neurodivergent people to connect, communicate, and belong. The conversation starts with timing. When Caroline wrote her first book, publishers wouldn't offer a big deal for anything with diagnostic labels in it. By her second book, diagnosis rates had surged, and she pitched that shift as a market opportunity. Peter uses this to make a broader point for thought leaders: build on ideas that are evergreen, then connect them to whatever wave is coming. You can't control the wave, but you can watch for it. From there, the focus moves to the workplace. Most organizations, Caroline argues, think the work ends once someone is hired. It doesn't. Instructions like "show me everything you've got" or "be a team player" mean very little to someone who doesn't easily read social cues. Managers have to boost the signal and be explicit. That change, she points out, makes them better managers for everyone. The business case is direct. Gallup data still shows that what people want most at work is a friend. There's a loneliness epidemic in offices, and people who don't feel integrated leave. Sometimes they leave for less money. Most companies only call someone like Caroline after the damage is done, which Peter compares to buying a burglar alarm after the house has been robbed. Caroline also explains how she takes her work to market. She uses a book to attract media attention, works her network hard to reach decision-makers, and gets in the door by training senior leaders and line managers. If you lead teams, build talent strategy, or are trying to carve out a niche of your own, this episode gives you a clear way to think about the market and the people in it. Three Key Takeaways: • Hiring is the starting line, not the finish line. Organizations recruit neurodivergent talent for how they think, but without training managers to communicate explicitly, those hires struggle to integrate and often leave. • Belonging is a retention strategy. Employees who don't feel connected at work are more likely to leave, even for less money, so workplace friendship and social skills are business issues, not "soft" extras. • Find the problem nobody's talking about, then own it. Caroline built her niche by spotting a well-documented problem the field ignored, earning the credentials to back it up, and timing her book for when the market was ready. Caroline Maguire's path is a working example of how thought leadership gets built. She spotted a problem nobody was talking about, earned the credentials to own it, and timed a big book to the moment the market was ready. Then she used that book to bring in media, open doors with decision-makers, and turn her expertise into paid engagements. That path from idea to impact is what The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too lays out, step by step. Peter Winick wrote it with Bill Sherman and Naren Aryal, drawing on more than 700 conversations from this podcast. Inside, you'll find the patterns behind successful thought leadership journeys and five avatars to help you identify your own path. You'll also get practical frameworks and tools for making your ideas visible, trusted, and scalable.
