How To Better Serve Neurodivergent Clients: 20 Leadership Tips
While many organizations have made great strides in supporting neurodivergent employees and leaders, truly inclusive businesses also consider how to make client engagement just as welcoming for diverse populations. Neurodivergent clients possess valuable strengths and insights that can only be leveraged when a business creates optimal space for their needs to be heard and honored. Being flexible, listening with curiosity and clearly communicating are a few paths organizations can take to foster strong, trust-based relationships with their neurodiverse clients. Here, members of Forbes Coaches Council share 20 more practical steps to embracing clients' strengths to better understand and meet their needs. 1. Create Flexible, Multimodal Communication Options Clarity is kindness. Listening is the beginning of wisdom. Leaders often begin with the perspective of what they have to offer and can provide, rather than using the client's or team's needs as the starting point for decision-making. Ask, listen, clarify and echo. Create flexible, multimodal communication and work options that allow neurodivergent clients to engage in ways that work best for them. - Joynicole Martinez, The Alchemist Agency 2. Build Trust Through Curiosity When it comes to supporting neurodivergent clients, curiosity and understanding are key. Leaders can build trust by sharing their interest in serving as an effective partner. They can ask how the client prefers to receive and deliver communication and information, and how they prefer to manage a change in plans or outcomes. These questions are the beginning of understanding and appreciation. - Jaclynn Robinson, Nine Muses Consulting, LLC 3. Ask Better Questions And Listen Without Assumptions One powerful step leaders can take is to ask better questions and listen without assumptions. Neurodivergent clients may process, communicate or prioritize differently—and that's a strength, not a weakness. By creating space for their preferred ways of working and truly understanding how they think, leaders build trust, unlock insights and deepen the client relationship. - Robert Gauvreau, Gauvreau | Accounting Tax Law Advisory Forbes Coaches Council is an invitation-only community for leading business and career coaches. Do I qualify? 4. Provide Choices To Increase Autonomy And Trust One powerful step is offering choices that boost autonomy, clarity and fairness. Let clients decide the pace, format and how feedback flows. This lowers cognitive threat and builds trust. When people feel safe, seen and in control, their brains shift from defense to performance. That is when real change happens. - Adam Levine, InnerXLab 5. Use Flexible Communication Formats One powerful step is to offer multiple modes of communication—written, verbal and visual—and let clients choose what works best for them. This simple flexibility respects cognitive diversity, reduces friction and builds trust by honoring how each brain prefers to process and engage. - Yasir Hashmi, The Hashmi Group 6. Customize Interactions To Reduce Friction Focusing on the individual is a universally strong approach that happens to align especially well with the needs of neurodivergent clients. By customizing interactions—whether in how you present information, structure meetings or follow up—you signal attentiveness and respect. This not only builds stronger relationships, but also removes unnecessary friction for everyone involved. - Stephan Lendi, Newbury Media & Communications GmbH 7. Embed Inclusion Into Everyday Processes Actively ask how you can make your processes more welcoming, inclusive and comfortable for neurodivergent individuals. Look for natural opportunities to weave self-disclosure into your existing workflows. For example, add a line in your contact or intake forms or include text in confirmation messages or emails. It doesn't take much to make people feel like they belong, but it goes a long way. - Dr. Kyle Elliott, MPA, CHES, 8. Align With Strengths Instead Of Fixing Differences One step? Stop fixing. Start aligning. Neurodivergent clients don't want special treatment. They want a true partnership. Ask how they think. Ask what works, then build around that. Most systems were built for sameness. That's the trap. If we want better outcomes, we need better questions. What if this isn't a problem to solve, but a horizon to open? That's how better futures begin. - Julien Fortuit, Julien Fortuit Agency 9. Let Clients Guide Collaborative Workflows I think that one key step in working with potentially neurodivergent leaders and colleagues is to first meet them where they are. Ask questions, ask them how they perceive things, ask them how they learn (or would like to learn) and most importantly, just listen. Let them guide you as to how it may be best to work together, and then structure your plan(s) and interactions accordingly. - Ash Varma, Varma & Associates 10. Create Cognitive Accommodation Maps Create 'cognitive accommodation maps'—personalized documentation of each leader's optimal working conditions and energy management needs. One ADHD executive doubled strategic output when we mapped her hyperfocus periods and restructured her calendar. Neurodivergent minds process information uniquely—leverage that cognitive advantage rather than accommodating perceived deficits. - Nirmal Chhabria 11. Use Clear, Direct Language Simplify how you communicate—be clear, direct and give space to process. Neurodivergent clients thrive with structure over jargon and clarity over cleverness. One thoughtful tweak in how you present ideas can reduce friction, build trust and create better results for both sides. It's smart business and basic human decency. - Peter Boolkah, The Transition Guy 12. Adopt A Neuro-Informed Leadership Approach Become a neuro-informed leader! As a leader, it's incumbent upon us to learn what neurodivergence is and how it shows up in our people—and, beyond that, even how to help those folks thrive in a wildly neurodiverse work environment. Here's the best part: Universal design (designing leadership style and processes to serve neurodivergent folk) improves engagement and retention across all employees! - David Taylor-Klaus, MCC, CPCC, DTK Coaching 13. Ask What Works Best For Each Client One simple, human step: Ask, 'What works best for you?' Supporting neurodivergent clients starts with listening and adapting—whether that's by offering written follow-ups, quiet spaces or more time to process. When we honor individual needs, we build relationships rooted in trust, not just transactions. - Shikha Bajaj, Own Your Color 14. Rethink Meetings To Support Deeper Processing Ditch the 'one big meeting' model. Many neurodivergent clients process best in short bursts, written formats or nonlinear conversations. So offer flexibility—asynchronous voice notes, visuals over slides or follow-up space to reflect before deciding. You're not diluting the experience—you're designing for deeper thinking. And often, their best insight arrives after everyone else stops talking. - Alla Adam, Adam Impact Institute 15. Replace Speed With Spaciousness And Flexibility Replace speed with spaciousness. Neurodivergent insights and wisdom often emerge through nonlinear insight. When leaders slow the pace, pause after questions and allow ideas to unfold, they unlock powerful connections that structured thinking alone can't access. - Mel Cidado, Breakthrough Coaching 16. Invite Insight Through Structure And Curiosity One step leaders can take is to be intentional about creating space for different ways of thinking and processing. Neurodivergent clients may require more structure, additional time or a different format to engage fully. Instead of assuming, ask. When you lead with curiosity and flexibility, you invite trust, and that's when the real insight emerges. - Dr. Flo Falayi, Korn Ferry 17. Lead With Their Strengths Neurodivergent workers usually excel in certain aspects of leadership, whether it is a deep subject matter expertise or creative brainstorming. Hence, finding ways to help these leaders contribute with their unique perspectives and strengths can help them shine as well as develop confidence with their team. - Kelly Huang, Coach Kelly Huang 18. Co-Create Solutions Based On Individual Needs As someone who has coached neurodivergent clients, one of the most important things I've learned is to avoid one-size-fits-all solutions. Neurodivergence shows up differently in everyone, and each person (whether neurodivergent or neurotypical) has their own unique strengths and challenges. Stay mindful, curious and flexible. Focus on the individual and on co-creating solutions that work for them. - Megan Malone, Truity 19. Redesign Systems To Enable Inclusion Honor the human experience. Start by ditching the one-size-fits-all model. Neurodivergent clients thrive with options—alternative formats, flexible timelines and sensory-friendly settings. True inclusion isn't about checking a box; it's about redesigning the box entirely. Divergent thinkers are pioneering history. - Dr. Ari McGrew, Tactful Disruption® 20. Celebrate Cognitive Diversity In Client Experiences Honor neurodivergent clients not by changing them, but by expanding you. Ditch one-size-fits-all approaches—listen deeply, adapt boldly and design experiences that celebrate cognitive diversity. True leadership isn't about making others fit the mold; it's about reshaping the mold to fit more minds. Inclusion isn't a policy—it's a mindset that becomes a movement. - Alejandro Bravo, Revelatio360

National Public Data is giving out your address and phone number — here's how to stop them
Though it has been dormant for most of the year, the website National Public Data has reemerged with new owners. As reported by PCMag, the website was well known for a major data breach that occurred last year in which millions of Social Security numbers were leaked online, resulting in a barrage of lawsuits against the former site owners, Jericho Pictures. The breach exposed at least 272 million Social Security numbers and 600 million phone numbers and after the lawsuits were filed, the site went dormant until recently when it went live again as a people finder site. Although there is nearly no information about the new owners of the domain aside from it being registered to a Florida-based VPN service called 'Perfect Privacy,' it's acting as a free search engine to let people search for information on others. The new National Public Data lets users look up anyone's personal information including addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, relatives, location, age, workplace and criminal records – all for free. While the new site claims to have no affiliation with the previous owners, they're also not very forthcoming about where they're gathering their data aside from stating that it's being collected 'from publicly available sources including federal, state and local government agencies, social media pages, property ownership databases and other reliable platforms. After the data is in our hands, we verify and filter it to make sure it is indeed accurate and up-to-date.' Now, just because they may be getting the data from legitimate sources and verifying it doesn't mean that you want them to have it or be make it readily accessible and easy to find online. If you would like National Public Data to remove your data from its site, you have that option as there is an opt out form you can use to delete your profile data. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. When PCMag tried it, they reported that it seemed as though their data was immediately removed from the site. However, it does appear that many users would likely be unaware of this option, which makes it easy for sites like this to continue posting their information online. Additionally. there are certainly data removal services like Incogni that can help you delete your online data as well as identity monitoring services that can help you monitor where you data appears online.

Delivery drones may soon take off in the US. Here's why
Delivery drones are so fast they can zip a pint of ice cream to a customer's driveway before it melts. Yet the long-promised technology has been slow to take off in the United States. More than six years after the Federal Aviation Administration approved commercial home deliveries with drones, the service mostly has been confined to a few suburbs and rural areas. That could soon change. The FAA proposed a new rule last week that would make it easier for companies to fly drones outside of an operator's line of sight and therefore over longer distances. A handful of companies do that now, but they had to obtain waivers and certification as an air carrier to deliver packages. While the rule is intended to streamline the process, authorized retailers and drone companies that have tested fulfilling orders from the sky say they plan to make drone-based deliveries available to millions more U.S. households. Walmart and Wing, a drone company owned by Google parent Alphabet, currently provide deliveries from 18 Walmart stores in the Dallas area. By next summer, they expect to expand to 100 Walmart stores in Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Houston; and Orlando and Tampa, Florida. After launching its Prime Air delivery service in College Station, Texas, in late 2022, Amazon received FAA permission last year to operate autonomous drones that fly beyond a pilot's line of sight. The e-commerce company has since expand its drone delivery program to suburban Phoenix and has plans to offer the service in Dallas, San Antonio, Texas, and Kansas City. The concept of drone delivery has been around for well over a decade. Drone maker Zipline, which works with Walmart in Arkansas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area, began making deliveries to hospitals in Rwanda in 2016. Israel-based Flytrex, one of the drone companies DoorDash works with to carry out orders, launched drone delivery to households in Iceland in 2017. But Wing CEO Adam Woodworth said drone delivery has been in 'treading water mode' in the U.S. for years, with service providers afraid to scale up because the regulatory framework wasn't in place. 'You want to be at the right moment where there's an overlap between the customer demand, the partner demand, the technical readiness and the regulatory readiness,' Woodworth said. 'I think that we're reaching that planetary alignment right now.' DoorDash, which works with both Wing and Flytrex, tested drone drop-offs in rural Virginia and greater Dallas before announcing an expansion into Charlotte. Getting takeout food this way may sound futuristic, but it's starting to feel normal in suburban Brisbane, Australia, where DoorDash has employed delivery drones for several years, said Harrison Shih, who leads the company's drone program. 'It comes so fast and it's something flying into your neighborhood, but it really does seem like part of everyday life,' Shih said. Even though delivery drones are still considered novel, the cargo they carry can be pretty mundane. Walmart said the top items from the more than 150,000 drone deliveries the nation's largest retailer has completed since 2021 include ice cream, eggs and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Unlike traditional delivery, where one driver may have a truck full of packages, drones generally deliver one small order at a time. Wing's drones can carry packages weighing up to 2.5 pounds. They can travel up to 12 miles round trip. One pilot can oversee up to 32 drones. Zipline has a drone that can carry up to 4 pounds and fly 120 miles round trip. Some drones, like Amazon's, can carry heavier packages. Once an order is placed, it's packaged for flight and attached to a drone at a launch site. The drone automatically finds a route that avoids obstacles. A pilot observes as the aircraft flies to its destinations and lowers its cargo to the ground with retractable cords. Shakiba Enayati, an assistant professor of supply chain and analytics at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, researches ways that drones could speed the delivery of critical health supplies like donated organs and blood samples. The unmanned aircraft offer some advantages as a transport method, such as reduced emissions and improved access to goods for rural residents, Enayati said. But she also sees plenty of obstacles. Right now, it costs around $13.50 per delivery to carry a package by drone versus $2 for a traditional vehicle, Enayati said. Drones need well-trained employees to oversee them and can have a hard time in certain weather. Drones also can have mid-air collisions or tumble from the sky. But people have accepted the risk of road accidents because they know the advantages of driving, Enayati said. She thinks the same thing could happen with drones, especially as improved technology reduces the chance for errors. Woodworth added that U.S. airspace is tightly controlled, and companies need to demonstrate to the FAA that their drones are safe and reliable before they are cleared to fly. Even under the proposed new rules, the FAA would set detailed requirements for drone operators. 'That's why it takes so long to build a business in the space. But I think it leads to everybody fundamentally building higher quality things,' Woodworth said. Others worry that drones may potentially replace human delivery drivers. Shih thinks that's unlikely. One of DoorDash's most popular items is 24-packs of water, Shih said, which aren't realistic for existing drones to ferry. 'I believe that drone delivery can be fairly ubiquitous and can cover a lot of things. We just don't think its probable today that it'll carry a 40-pound bag of dog food to you,' Shih said. DoorDash said that in the areas where it offers drone deliveries, orders requiring the services of human delivery drivers also increase. That's been the experience of John Kim, the owner of PurePoke restaurant in Frisco, Texas. Kim signed on to offer drone deliveries through DoorDash last year. He doesn't know what percentage of his DoorDash customers are choosing the service instead of regular delivery, but his overall DoorDash orders are up 15% this year. Kim said he's heard no complaints from drone delivery customers. 'It's very stable, maybe even better than some of the drivers that toss it in the back with all the other orders,' Kim said. For some, drones can simply be a nuisance. When the FAA asked for public comments on Amazon's request to expand deliveries in College Station, numerous residents expressed concern that drones with cameras violated their privacy. Amazon says its drones use cameras and sensors to navigate and avoid obstacles but may record overhead videos of people while completing a delivery. Other residents complained about noise. 'It sounds like a giant nagging mosquito,' one respondent wrote. Amazon has since released a quieter drone. But others love the service. Janet Toth of Frisco, Texas, said she saw drone deliveries in Korea years ago and wondered why the U.S. didn't have them. So she was thrilled when DoorDash began providing drone delivery in her neighborhood. Toth now orders drone delivery a few times a month. Her 9-year-old daughter Julep said friends often come over to watch the drone. 'I love to go outside, wave at the drone, say 'Thank you' and get the food,' Julep Toth said. Durbin writes for the Associated Press.
