Description

📽️ Interview Video for the full Monte version (18 minutes)

#Websummit 2025 in Lisbon was a blast! We battled through the rain to get to the media villiage where I interviewed the amazing Polish co-founder Anna Connor Lakomy, she explains how Brain Architects are measuring then supporting neurodiversity using AI.

Their tool takes care of the neuroscience and psychology so that you can support your brilliant neurodiverse team members in a way that boosts productivity and innovation in a way that makes them feel accepted and supported. This way you can avoid burnout and let them shine and perform in a way that feels natural and rewarding. 
That's inclusion, right there!

Coco’s Communication Challenge today is to think about your own organisation,
whether you are the CEO, the CTO, working in HR or an expert.

Take a look at your work schedule and space, what is it that you need more of, less of or is there something completely different that would put you at the top of your game.

If you manage a team, speak to each person individually to find out from them what it is that they need, now you can call that accommodations or the removal of barriers like in servant leadership - it doesn’t really matter, what matters is the open and honest discussion.

By talking without judgement to your team, no matter what your role is,
  you could be freeing up some much needed headspace for more brilliance, innovation and career satisfaction
In the process you’ll be giving your corporate culture some TLC - that’s tender loving care.

  If this feels like a stretch for you but you genuinely want to support the neurodiverse experts in your team - even if they are not diagnosed, then just reach out to either Anna or I (links above)

#Websummit 2 for 1 Offer.
Websummit is a great opportunity for tech professionals to learn, connect and chill. Currently they have a two for one offer for 2026, if you haven't already been to Websummit, then I can hands on heart recommend it. Even now, days after the event has finished there is much networking and collaboration happening, very unusual for a huge event like this.
