In this episode of Unlock Your Leadership, Dr Gary Crotaz is joined by Dr Françoise Orlov — leadership coach and advocate for neurodiversity in the workplace. Françoise shares her expertise on how understanding and embracing neurodivergence can transform leadership and organisational culture. She and Gary explore how leaders can move beyond labels to recognise the unique cognitive strengths that neurodivergent people bring — from creativity and innovation to empathy and systems thinking. They discuss how to build psychologically safe environments where every brain can thrive, how self-awareness supports inclusion, and why diversity of thought is a vital ingredient in the future of leadership. It’s a fascinating, deeply human conversation about the power of difference, the nuance of inclusion, and how understanding the mind unlocks the best in people.
