    • Inclusive Workplaces: Neurodiversity, Communication & Allyship Explained with Guest Jordan Lux

      Inclusive Workplaces: Neurodiversity, Communication & Allyship Explained with Guest Jordan Lux
      Feb 17 2026
      In the season one finale of the I Am Cape-Able podcast, host Alex Gilbert (CEO, founder, and coach at Cape-Able Consulting) interviews former corporate client Jordan Lux. Jordan shares her experience as a neurodiverse professional who led neurodiversity inclusion work at Glassdoor, drawing on a lifelong connection to disability advocacy. They discuss masking, feeling “not disabled enough” to ask for accommodations, common workplace challenges like time blindness and the impact of flexible hours. Jordan describes gaps leaders face when they want to be inclusive but don’t understand neurodiversity, and shares a frustrating example of receiving a negative performance review after major role and team changes without clear expectations. Together they explore practical solutions: clearer role expectations, manager training, reducing burnout, and using creative approaches like AI-driven gamified meetings to increase engagement. Jordan also shares how she evaluates employers while job searching (job description keywords, work-life balance and disability reviews). The episode ends with rapid-fire questions and Alex says thank you to her team and supporters while closing out the season and inviting listeners to connect with Cape-Able Consulting for coaching and corporate training.
