Syreeta shares insights from her moving new book, Bigger Than the Moon, exploring her personal journey as a working parent of a neurodivergent child and how that experience has deeply shaped her leadership approach.

Syreeta reflects on the transformative impact of parenting on her understanding of patience, team dynamics, and inclusive leadership. She offers practical advice for HR professionals on supporting neurodiversity in the workplace, including the importance of recognising hidden disabilities and avoiding unintended exclusion through performance or engagement practices.

Syreeta also explores what courageous leadership looks like in action, how to enable brave conversations, build inclusive cultures, and plan for lasting, sustainable change. This episode is a must-listen for HR leaders looking to lead with empathy, resilience, and impact.
