Mind&Body@Work
Gen Z is entering the workforce with new perspectives and expectations.
In this podcast, we’re here to listen to their stories and experiences – their successes and frustrations - and help employers understand the mindset and perspectives of the up and coming workforce.
Employers can’t dictate what their young employees find meaningful—what they can do, however, is empower them to create their own sense of purpose and authentic connections.
Our curriculum is designed to help them do exactly that, EV Leader Lab is committed to paving the way for more curious, engaged and connected, young professionals in the workplace.

Our guest is Russel Von Brocklen – The Dyslexia
Professor. Russel is best known for
helping neurodiverse students drastically improve their school performance – turning
their neurodiversity into their superpower.
He is the creator of the Special First Literacy Blueprint and Word Analysis
First tools, funded by the New York state legislature. In our show, Russel describes the role of AI
in his methods and explains how the school hacks he has developed can be used
to make a huge positive impression in the workplace. And this is going to be key as AI expands and
entry level employees will only survive by making a strong impression.
Russel shares his story of growing up with dyslexia and a
particular incident that caused him to declare he was going to find a way to
use his dyslexia to succeed. It is the
methods he developed for other dyslexic students that led to his
recommendations for entering the AI enabled workplace.
Russel points out that the strength he sees in neurodiverse
kids, both Gen Z and younger, is that they have areas of specialty and interest
where they are very strong. And he
discusses strategies he has developed to help anyone use their area of specialty
to solve high leveraged work problems.
Specifically for Gen Z entering the workforce, Russel argues
that you are not just competing with your peers, you are competing with powerful,
efficient and inexpensive AI tools. His
advice is to learn to utilize these tools to solve problems that will boost
your reputation and keep you in demand.
Russel takes us step by step through how he works with people to use
these tools both to succeed in school and to succeed in the workplace.
Resources that Russel refers to as integral to his methods

Collins.
