Noé discusses the definitions of neurodiversity and how his journey with ADHD has shaped his approach to leadership and inclusion.

Highlighting a key statistic, Noé notes, "If 20% of our society is on the spectrum, you'll likely find that ratio reflected in management levels too." This comment underscores the importance of recognizing and nurturing neurodivergent talent at all levels of an organization.

The podcast also touches on the significance of acknowledging the limitations in current inclusion practices and the steps necessary to sensitize both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals about each other's talents. Noé advocates for strategic investments in diversity initiatives, such as job coaches, to enhance workplace inclusivity.
