About the Speaker
Nancy Disbrow: As a former HR Executive with dyslexia and ADHD, Nancy has found ways to be successful in the workplace using her “different brain” as a gift. Early in her career, she felt like her brain was working against her, despite consistently outworking her peers. Once she uncovered her natural gifts and changed a few things about how she was working, everything changed. Now she shares her experiences and expertise to help organizations celebrate different ways of thinking through positive, inclusive, and supportive methods within the workplace.
