Years ago, I was told I would never be able to hold a full-time job or be a functioning member of society—all because of my mental health. But I learned how to ask for help, accept myself and use obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as a unique strength to thrive in my career as an ethical hacker. Now, I find opportunities to grow and pay it forward by creating a safe space at work where neurodiversity is supported and celebrated.
In this chat, I want you to walk away with:
- Understanding how to shift your mindset and turn your personal challenges into career-building strengths
- Identify what you need from your employer to thrive at work
- Mental health resources that are available to everyone
