Building a Neuroinclusive Workplace Through an Intersectional Lens with Reena Anand

Today, we’re talking about something that’s not just important - it’s essential. 

Neurodiversity and race are two topics that often get overlooked in workplace conversations, but together, they reveal a much bigger picture. 

I’m thrilled to have Reena Anand with me for this episode. 

From her personal experiences to her groundbreaking consultancy, Reena brings a fresh perspective to how businesses can build environments where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. 

Get ready for this one, because Reena is a powerhouse advocate for creating inclusive workplaces that truly work for everyone.

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion
Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
