27.The Connection Between Hidden Differences And Team Culture with guest Jenn Grindeland

In this episode I talk to Jenn Grindeland about understanding the importance of understanding the connection between hidden differences and team culture; specifically looking at neuro-diversity and chronic illness in the workplace.

Introduction

After experiencing two traumatic brain injuries while working as part of a team, I witnessed how confused my supervisors and peers were with how to handle my needs in the workplace. 

With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, and experience as a yoga and mindfulness teacher, I saw how my unique experience and education could illuminate a new pathway for companies to create more awareness and inclusion in their teams. 

I now teach teams leadership and communication skills that are thoughtfully designed to support equity for and inclusion of neuro-divergent and invisibly disabled employees. Through this work, all team members benefit from improved culture, productivity, and retention.
