Neurodivergence Matters - Meeting Makeover: From Overwhelm to Outcomes Meetings are one of the most common—and most exhausting—workplace experiences for neurodivergent people. Ambiguity, fast turn-taking, sensory overload, and hidden rules can turn even short meetings into a draining exercise in masking and survival. In this episode, Stephen Harrison explores why meetings fail neurodivergent participants and how small, practical changes can dramatically improve participation and outcomes. Drawing on over 30 years of project and change leadership, Stephen shares clear frameworks, scripts, and micro-fixes that facilitators can apply immediately. This is not about slowing meetings down or lowering expectations. It’s about lowering the cognitive waterline so people can think, contribute, and be heard—benefiting neurodivergent and neurotypical participants alike. For practical tools, thoughtful reflections, and support for neurodivergent people and those who care about them, visit https://thrivalcoaching.nz Play Episode
