In this episode, we speak with Sara Harrup, Executive Coach for Neurodivergent Professionals, Board Chair, Non-Executive Director, and Inclusive Governance Expert. As an openly autistic ADHDer, Sara brings lived experience and professional insight into how neurodivergent leaders can thrive in high-pressure environments.
We explore her coaching practice, her governance work, and her advocacy for neuroinclusive leadership. Sara shares practical strategies for local authorities to better support neurodivergent staff, especially those in senior roles, and discusses her downloadable resource Performance Enhancers for Neurodivergent Directors and Executives. We also touch on her writing, including contributions to thought leadership on neurodivergent governance and leadership, and her upcoming book projects that aim to reshape how organisations understand and support different kinds of minds.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to building inclusive, high-performing teams in local government.
