## Resource

Up to 20% of your team is neurodivergent. Most leaders have no idea, and it's costing them their best people. Executive coach Cara Wilson spent years coaching software engineers before realizing why she connected with them so easily. Many of them are neurodivergent. So is she. Cara only discovered she's autistic two years ago, and it reframed her whole career. We get into why analytical minds try to break every framework before trusting it, the single habit that makes teams more inclusive (make the implicit explicit), what to do when an employee asks for a protocol instead of intuition, and the real cost of masking at work.
