▶︎ #152 | Stop Fixing, Start Leveraging: A Leader's Guide to Neurodiversity at Work w/ Kari Goldyn @woopa pro
Join your host, Aleksandra Lemańska, for an eye-opening episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast as she sits down with Kari Goldyn, neurodiversity in the workplace expert and Co-Founder of woopa — an organization dedicated to helping organizations unlock the full potential of neurodivergent talent.
In this episode, Kari reframes the conversation around neurodiversity, moving away from the language of dysfunction and pathology toward one of strengths, adaptability, and intentional leadership. The discussion unpacks what neurodiversity actually means in a workplace context, how tech leaders can recognize neurodivergent traits in their teams, and what genuine support and inclusion look like in practice. Kari introduces her practical 3-step system — built around understanding individual needs, tailoring communication, and leading with a strengths-first mindset — giving leaders concrete tools to bring out the best in every team member.
Drawing on her own lived experience as an AuDHD person, Kari brings rare authenticity and depth to the topic, making this episode both practically actionable and deeply human. Whether you're managing a diverse team or looking to evolve your leadership style, this conversation will change how you see — and lead — the brilliant, unconventional thinkers already on your team.
