Did You Remember Your Homework: How to best support your Neurodivergent Child in All Stages with Dr. Tiffany Jamieson
10/22/24 • 69 min
When you hear about neurodiversity, what comes to mind? Some of you might think "different." Some might say "I don’t know." Others could even say "superpower." Whatever your answer, this episode is for you as we’ll explore all three perspectives.
As we grow more knowledgeable about neurodiversity, we're uncovering the unique gifts that neurodiverse individuals bring to the table. Many of our top entrepreneurs and business leaders, like Richard Branson, Barbara Corcoran, Steve Jobs, Angela Henderson, and Elon Musk, have openly shared their neurodiversity. On a more personal level, leaders at schools need to wake up, as our children need us to best educate and nurture their superpowers. Otherwise, our children may lack the resilience to become elite leaders like the distinguished business leaders I've mentioned.
Do you know if young or teenage children have superpowers? Well, I guess you’ll have some homework to find out. Join me on this episode with my guest Dr. Tiffany Jameson as we discuss "How to Best Support Your Neurodivergent Child in All Stages."
Dr. Tiffany Payton Jameson is passionate about transforming the way organizations approach wellbeing, mental health, and neurodiversity. With a unique blend of academic insight and hands-on experience, she specializes in helping businesses create inclusive cultures that empower all individuals, particularly those who are neurodivergent. Her approach is grounded in the latest research, but what sets her apart is her ability to translate complex concepts into actionable strategies that drive real change.
Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to challenging the status quo and advocating for environments where everyone can thrive. Whether she’s speaking to corporate teams, consulting with leadership, or working one-on-one, her goal is to inspire, educate, and equip others to build spaces that truly value diversity of thought and experience. She believes that by prioritizing mental health and embracing neurodiversity, she can unlock the full potential of every individual and, in turn, the potential of their organizations.

Seeing Life as a Gift: Ways to Enjoy More of the Beauty of Life
Have you ever paused to truly see life as a gift? When you do, you realize that everything you have received is humbling, compelling you to acknowledge a power beyond yourself. This realization brings forth a sense of gratitude, where words flow like a bubbling stream.
In contrast, feeling entitled with unreasonable expectations leads to stress and disappointment. At that point, life feels like something owed to you, not a gift. Are you struggling to see the beauty of life, to view it as a gift? Are you frustrated that life isn’t unfolding the way you want? Join me in this episode as we explore how to see life as a gift—not an inheritance.

The Future is Clear: It's Cloudy - How to Help Parents & Leaders to Rethink Education for the Next Generation
If you’re a parent with a child in high school, you might be wondering what the future holds. As soon as you start thinking about it, the worry creeps in—sweaty palms, biting nails. What will the future be like for them? The days of a clear path are gone. No more straightforward formula for success: Go to university, do well on your tests, graduate, get a job and home. The end. That’s no longer the story. The story has changed, and the ending will be different if our children aren’t prepared for the future.
How do you prepare your children—and ourselves as parents, educators, counselors, mentors and leaders—for an unclear future? If you’re looking for a path, I may have one for you. Join me on this episode with my special guest, Jake Horne, as we talk about "The Future is Clear: It’s Cloudy." Let's make a path for our future generation—our children.
Jake Horne is an accomplished educator, mentor, and environmental advocate with a diverse background in secondary and post-secondary education, non-profit leadership, and alternative energy solutions. He holds degrees from prestigious institutions such as Harvard College, Trinity College, and the University of Hartford, and has founded several organizations aimed at supporting students and promoting sustainable energy practices.
Throughout his career, Horne has worked as a teacher, school administrator, and mentor, and has been involved in environmental mediation and hydroelectric energy policy. His interests extend to organic gardening, beekeeping, and timber-framing, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable living and community engagement. Horne has also served on numerous boards, contributing to the development of educational and environmental initiatives in his community.
Presently, Jake is focusing on mentoring Gen-Z students in thinking more deeply and broadly about their future in a very unstable world in which they will need to develop and practice the specific skills, social, emotional and intellectual to thrive in a shifting, transformative future that is unfolding. A principle vehicle for accelerating this skill-building is through a set of unique and personal Gap Year designed experiences before heading off to college. As a result, these more experienced students are far more prepared to get the most out of their college experience and life, setting themselves up as more capable leaders and entrepreneurs. Jake has been mentoring these young individuals since 1994, through his work at The Student Compass.
