## Resource

Neurodiversity, Leadership & Human Sustainability with Valeriya Hjertenaes How can understanding neurodiversity help us build stronger leaders, healthier organizations, and a more sustainable future for people? Join Hurricane H for an inspiring conversation with Valeriya Hjertenaes—an internationally recognized executive advisor, global keynote speaker, author, mentor, coach, strategic leadership expert, and Mrs. World Congeniality. As a PhD researcher in Neurodiversity Leadership, co-founder of Your Neurodiversity Edge™, and host of the award-winning podcast Diversity is THE GAME CHANGER!, Valeriya is helping shape the global conversation around neurodivergence, inclusive leadership, innovation, and human sustainability. In this episode, we explore what neurodiversity and neurodivergence really mean, why understanding different ways of thinking matters, and how leaders can foster environments where people are valued for their unique strengths. We also discuss leadership in a rapidly changing world, organizational culture, resilience, emotional intelligence, and the growing importance of the human sustainability movement. Valeriya also shares how her personal journey as the adoptive parent of two neurodivergent children from Ukraine has profoundly influenced both her research and her mission to help organizations create cultures where people, purpose, and performance thrive together. https://www.instagram.com/mrs.worldcongeniality/ https://www.youtube.com/@THEEMBCNETWORK/videos https://www.youtube.com/@THEEMBCNETWORKOFFICIAL Topics Covered Neurodiversity & Neurodivergence Neurodiversity Leadership Human Sustainability Leadership & Organizational Culture Innovation Through Diverse Thinking Emotional Intelligence & Resilience Inclusive Workplaces Executiv…
