Coach Ron Sosa on Neurodivergence, Leadership, and the Power of Humor
Leadership development, workplace culture, and employee engagement all look completely different when you factor in the one thing most organizations still aren't designed for: neurodivergence. In this episode of Humor in the C Suite, host Kate Davis sits down with Ron Sosa — neuroinclusive leadership coach, speaker, author, and Executive Director of the Uncharted Veterinary Conference — to explore what happens when the systems we build at work leave people behind, why humor is one of the most powerful tools for advocating for yourself without feeling the full weight of it, and what it actually looks like to lead authentically when everything in the environment is asking you to be someone else. Ron is ADHD, Autistic, and hard of hearing. He has moved through veterinary medicine from client service representative all the way to minority partner and executive director — giving him a rare view of how people experience work from every level of an organization. Through Syn-APT Neuroinclusive Leadership, he now helps neurodivergent leaders reduce the burden of overthinking, overadapting, masking, and burnout so they can lead with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust. "Nobody is truly toxic. People just have unmet needs they don't know how to express." - Ron About Ron Sosa: Ron Sosa is a neuroinclusive leadership coach, speaker, author, and Executive Director of the Uncharted Veterinary Conference.
