Cognitive Accessibility at Work with Gloria Folaron | Bliss

Gloria Folaron of Leantime breaks down cognitive accessibility at work: ADHD-informed tools, safer disclosure, and why neurodiverse teams outperform peers.


Watch Gloria Folaron, CEO of Leantime and a former ER nurse, break down cognitive accessibility at work, on The Bliss Business Podcast.

Gloria built Leantime around her own ADHD diagnosis, treating different brains as a design constraint instead of an edge case: "cognitive accessibility is acknowledging that people have different brains and that those brains have different needs in order to almost equalize the playing field." She walks through why a UK tech survey found 53% of workers privately identify as neurodivergent while their employers estimate just 3%, and why disclosure still carries real career risk.

Watch for the Deloitte stat on neurodiverse team performance, and her answer to the show's closing question: does love belong in business?
