Episode 69: Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs (#5): Unmasking The Person and Professional [featuring Maureen Werrbach]

Divergent Conversations

Navigating the complexities of personal identity and public presentation can be incredibly challenging, especially for those in the neurodivergent community with later-in-life discovery who have crafted a well-established public identity and role.

In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, and Maureen Werrbach discuss the complexities of balancing personal identity and public presentation as a neurodivergent individual, highlighting challenges and triumphs of embracing one's true self amidst societal and professional expectations.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

1. Hear the personal stories of Maureen, Patrick, and Dr. Neff as they discuss how their diagnoses of ADHD and autism have reshaped their personal and professional lives.
2. Discover the power of vulnerability, and the fine balance required to share personal experiences publicly without losing oneself.
3. Explore the intersection of identity and leadership, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. Learn from Maureen’s experience integrating social justice and personal values into business, and creating accountable and inclusive leadership teams.

Reflect on your journey of self-discovery and how to embrace and advocate for your true self.

More about Maureen:

Maureen developed her coaching program, The Group Practice Exchange, based on her experience with starting her private practice and 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 learning how to grow it into a group (figuring out the appropriate steps). Maureen thoroughly enjoys helping clinicians become confident and organized group practice business owners.
