Update: 2025-09-25
Description
In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, we sit down with Ron Sosa, Executive Director of the Uncharted Veterinary Conference and founder of Syn-APT Neuroinclusive Leadership, to explore what it means to lead with inclusion in mind, especially when supporting neurodivergent professionals in veterinary medicine.
Ron shares personal insights and practical strategies for recognizing traits, such as justice sensitivity, executive dysfunction and rejection sensitive dysphoria, not just as shortcomings but also as signals that call for empathy and adaptation. We dive deep into the concept of masking, how neurodivergence is often misunderstood or mislabeled as "toxic," and why embracing difference isn’t just kind but it’s also essential to the future of veterinary leadership.
Whether you’re neurodivergent, managing someone who is or simply curious about creating more psychologically safe workplaces, this conversation offers tools, frameworks and a refreshing new lens on what it means to lead well in VetMed.
