On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Dr. Ludmila Praslova, author of The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work. They explore how a neuroinclusive approach can fundamentally reshape leadership and workplace culture and why leaders must move beyond a narrow, extractive business case towards a model of “inclusive thriving.” They discuss practical ways to create more dignified and flexible workplaces that support neurodivergent employees, ultimately making them better and healthier for everyone.
Dr. Ludmila Praslova is the author of “The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work” (from Berrett-Koehler Publishers) and a member of the Thinkers 50 Radar Class of 2024 – a global group of management thinkers most likely make an impact on the world.
Dr. Praslova is a Professor of Graduate Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Vanguard University of Southern California, and she is an inclusive talent strategy expert with extensive experience in global diversity and neurodiversity. Her consulting is focused on creating organizational systems for inclusion and wellbeing and providing neuroinclusion training and support to organizations such as Amazon, Bank of America, and MIT.
