This month on Contributors Corner, the power of neurodiversity at work. It's estimated as much as 30 percent of the U.S. population may be neurodivergent—having things like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and OCD.

Entrepreneur André Brisson, host of "The Impulsive Thinker" podcast, leads this conversation with fellow contributors Kristin Graham, Orlando Hampton, and Jeff Kaas. André discovered his ADHD and Asperger's as an adult. Since then, he's dedicated his life to helping neurodivergent people reach their potential.

"As someone who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, this conversation was profound for me," says BEATS WORKING Host Mark Wright. "It made me realize all those things I thought were wrong with me are simply differences, and just like any other difference, they can be both a strength or a weakness depending on how we use them."

What's exciting is research now recognizes the value of neurodiversity in the workplace. It's actually good for the bottom line, but for it to become an asset, it takes enlightened leaders who recognize and honor it.

So here's to redeeming work for everyone—including those who haven't always fit the mold.
