We live in a world of extraordinary talent.
And yet people regularly feel unseen, misunderstood, underused, exhausted, disconnected, or unable to contribute fully.
I’m writing a book that explores why, through the lens of neurotypes.
Many leaders are navigating constant change, uncertainty, complexity, and increasing diversity of experience, worldviews, and ways of knowing. Yet many of our inherited leadership models emerged in environments that were more stable, predictable, and organized around sameness.
What happens when those ways of leading no longer match the reality we inhabit?
Don’t Leave Talent on the Table explores leadership, belonging, complexity, neurodiversity, and what I believe is an emerging neuroplural paradigm shift.
The book argues that the intelligence needed for our future is already here — but our schools, workplaces, families, and organizations are often too narrow to fully recognize, engage, or activate it.
This project looks at leadership through the lens of neurodivergence. Not primarily as an inclusion issue — though inclusion work is important — but because neurodivergence offers an unusually sharp lens for seeing systems.
It reveals patterns across nervous systems, relationships, schools, workplaces, families, and organizations that often remain invisible. It helps illuminate how environments shape capacity, how belonging changes contribution, and how inherited systems can unintentionally suppress the very intelligence needed for complexity.
This project is being shaped in community
You can join the community, contribute stories, participate in interviews, offer feedback, or simply follow along.
