Episode 27: Empathy, innovation, and the future of work: a discussion with Robert Annis

In this episode of Culture by Neurodesign, Dr Lisa College is joined by neurodivergent business psychologist Robert Annis for a candid and insightful conversation on neurodivergence, leadership, and the future of work.

They discuss the strengths and struggles that come with neurodivergent experiences, the generational shifts in talent entering the workforce, and what leaders must do to build inclusive, resilient organizations. Robert’s personal story adds depth and urgency to a topic often simplified in business conversations.

It’s time to move beyond myths and embrace complexity—because the future of innovation depends on it.

Robert offers a distinctive cognitive perspective that can uncover innovative solutions to complex organisational challenges. His atypical thinking style enables him to spot patterns others may overlook, enhancing decision-making, fostering inclusive workplace practices, and driving meaningful, evidence-based change. Learn more at
