What if the traits you’ve spent years trying to “fix” were actually your strengths?

In this sharp, eye-opening episode, Sarah speaks with Jens Bammel — former global publishing CEO turned neurodiversity coach — about ADHD, burnout, masking, and building workplaces where every brain type can thrive.

Most people sit somewhere on the spectrum. Leaders must stop waiting for diagnoses and start designing environments where different brains flourish.

Jens argues for strength-based leadership:

→ Do more of what people enjoy

→ Reduce what drains them

→ Let teams self-identify what actually works for their brains

Jens explains why so many talented people hit a wall — and how joy, values, and identity must be rebuilt before re-entering the workplace.

One action point per email. Clear language. No assumptions.

Simple for neurodivergent brains — game-changing for everyone.

A line you’ll remember long after listening.

A fast, warm, deeply human conversation about how leaders can reduce exhaustion, unlock talent, and build psychologically safer teams.
