In this flashback episode, Maureen Werrbach, the owner and founder of The Group Practice Exchange, and I discuss how being autistic and ADHD shapes our leadership styles, the challenges and unique strengths that come with being neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and the ripple effect of being authentic, from creating safe work environments to fostering creativity among teams.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding Neurodivergent Traits: Embrace the unique strengths and challenges that come with being neurodivergent and how it shapes leadership and entrepreneurship.
Creating Inclusive Work Environments: Learn how openly sharing neurodivergent traits can lead to more accommodating and supportive workplaces that boost overall team success.
Authenticity in Business: Realize the power of showing up authentically in your professional life, and how it can create a positive impact on both your business and audience.

More about Maureen:

Maureen developed her coaching program, The Group Practice Exchange, based not only on her own experience with starting her private practice but also growing it into a successful group practice.

She spent countless hours researching how to start a private practice (the legal and procedural steps) and then many more hours learning how to grow it into a group (again trying to figure out the appropriate steps). Through trial and error, she learned what works and what doesn’t in running a counseling group practice.

Maureen thoroughly enjoy helping clinicians become confident and organized group practice business owners.
