Mentra is hosting our very first AI workshop for neurodivergent professionals!

Artificial Intelligence can feel like it was built for people who never lose focus, never forget a deadline, and never need a break, leaving many of us to think AI is more likely to take our job than help us get one.

That’s why this workshop isn’t being led by just another AI evangelist. It’s led by someone who knows what it’s like to build systems while feeling like your own is out of sync.

Michael Muyot is a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD professional who spent years masking, all while building and studying AI. It wasn’t until his diagnosis that things clicked: he wasn’t broken. He was just trying to operate in systems that weren’t made for how his brain works.

Now, Michael uses AI to create what he calls the Divergent Advantage— a set of tools and workflows designed to turn executive dysfunction into momentum. We’re so excited to partner together for a workshop that is...

- Built with neurodivergent brains in mind
- Packed with actionable demos (not just theory)
- Designed to reduce overwhelm, not add to it

If you’ve felt unsure about AI, or afraid it’ll replace you, this is your onramp to something different.

The most untapped competitive advantage in business today? Cognitive diversity.

In honor of Neurodiversity Awareness month, for the next 30 days, we’re spotlighting one cognitive strength per day—strengths that companies overlook, undervalue, or underutilize. These are the traits that drive innovation, efficiency, and growth.

Many of these strengths belong to neurodivergent professionals—individuals with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more—who remain underemployed despite their immense value.

💡 Why does this matter? Because businesses that understand and leverage neurodivergent strengths gain a massive edge.

Follow along. You might just rethink how you build your team.

🚀 AI is creating some of the highest-paying jobs in tech—but how do you get hired?

AI isn’t just for PhDs or researchers anymore. Companies are hiring software engineers, ML specialists, and even product managers to integrate AI into real-world applications.

Here are some things to focus on if you’re interested in any of the following roles:

💻 AI Software Engineer:
If you’re already a software developer, start by learning AI frameworks and working on AI-powered projects (e.g., integrating OpenAI’s GPT API into an app).

🤖 Machine Learning Engineer:
Build an AI portfolio with real-world projects (e.g., image classifiers, NLP chatbots). Consider earning an AI certification like Google’s ML Engineer certification.

🚀 MLOps Engineer:
If you have DevOps or cloud computing experience, start learning MLOps tools and work on deploying AI models in real-world cloud environments.

📊 AI Product Manager:
If you’re in product management or business strategy, start learning AI fundamentals and build experience working with AI-powered products.

🔐AI Cybersecurity Engineer:
If you have a background in cybersecurity, start learning AI-driven security frameworks and adversarial machine learning to specialize in AI security roles.

A supportive manager can flip your internal battery from 🪫 to 🔋 at work— with just a few intentional steps.

Sometimes, it’s not the job—it’s the environment. When managers create safe, supportive workplaces, everyone wins.

Here are six ways to make that happen.

It’s about acknowledging we’re people—with changing energy levels, emotional ebb and flow, and days where we just need that extra grace.

A manager who gives you space to do your best work—can transform a routine job into a place where you actually want to show up; it’s human-centered leadership.

🧠 They regulate their own emotions, so when you have an off day, it doesn’t derail the whole team.

🧠 They understand that productivity doesn’t come from micromanagement, but from trust and clarity.

🧠 They see “heads-down time” not as a luxury, but as a pathway to better work.

It’s about creating a culture where being a human isn’t a drawback.

Ever had a manager who just got it? Let us know in the comments. And if you haven’t, what’s one shift you wish workplaces would make?

The day has finally arrived—Vikram published his first book! 📖

In just 2 days, Cacophony of Silence is #2 in Hot New Releases in the United States in Asian Poetry. 😊

This was no easy feat. Imagine if typing a single sentence took a whole hour...

For Vikram, this is an everyday reality. Living with and apraxia, his body often rebels, making typing an unpredictable challenge. Yet, that doesn’t stop him.

Vikram writes entire poems in his mind first—deep, powerful, and profound. And when the moment of flow arrives, he types, one letter at a time.

Now, at 32 years old, after years of dedication, he holds in his hands his first book. This isn’t just a collection of poetry—it’s a portal into Vikram’s silent world, offering a unique lens on life, the universe, and the boundless potential within us all.

This moment resonates deeply with our mission at Mentra: to empower those often silenced by society to find and tap into their fullest potential. 🧠 💥

By embarking on a career as a poet and author, Vikram can now do just that.

And let his work speak for itself.

Our work cultures have often been built on a foundation of “sameness”—and while that might feel comfortable, it doesn’t always foster growth or innovation. When we hire solely based on how well someone fits into our existing culture, we might unintentionally be limiting ourselves to a narrow set of perspectives and experiences.

Let’s rethink this together and embrace ‘divergent thinking’ as a mindset. 🌈

What is “Divergent Thinking”?

It’s about welcoming candidates who bring new perspectives—those who approach challenges differently, offer unique talents, and enrich our workplace with a wider spectrum of ideas and experiences.

Why should we embrace this approach?

👉 Bringing in people with varied backgrounds and neurotypes can open doors to creative solutions and groundbreaking ideas.
👉 When our teams reflect a broader range of experiences, we connect better with diverse clients and customers. This means our products and services resonate with a wider audience, not just a select few.
👉 Diverse thinking brings a well-rounded approach to problem-solving, helping us innovate and thrive.
👉 Embracing ‘divergent thinking’ pushes us beyond our comfort zones and challenges our preconceived notions.

It’s not about instant change but gradually expanding our company culture to include a broader spectrum of voices and ideas. This is about more than diversity for its own sake—it’s about creating workplaces that are more dynamic, inclusive, and effective.

Let’s stop asking,

“Will they fit in?”

and start considering,

“What unique strengths will they bring?”

Let’s build teams for the that reflect the rich diversity and creativity of the world around us. 🌍

Traditional networking events are often built on certain social norms—like quick handshakes, small talk, and rapid-fire exchanges 🤯 For those of us who think, process, and experience the world differently, these environments can be more than just uncomfortable—they can be exclusionary.

👉 Overstimulation is Real: The loud chatter, bright lights, and endless small talk—what might seem like a lively atmosphere to some can feel like an assault on the senses for others. For those of us with sensory sensitivities, networking events can quickly become overwhelming. It’s not just about being “shy” or “introverted”; it’s about our brains struggling to process everything happening around us.

👉 Social Norms Can Be Alienating: Ever feel like you’re supposed to know exactly when to speak, when to smile, and how to navigate those unspoken social rules? These norms can be confusing and exhausting, especially for neurodivergents. The pressure to conform to these expectations often leads to masking—suppressing our true selves to fit in, which is not only draining but also prevents authentic connections. 🎭

What Can We Do?

1️⃣ Create Safe Spaces: Develop breakout rooms or quieter areas where individuals can take a breather if needed.

2️⃣ Structured Formats: Provide clear agendas and structured formats to help everyone know what to expect.

3️⃣ Encourage Diverse Networking Styles: Recognize that networking doesn’t have to look one way. Offer alternative methods, like virtual meet-ups or structured discussion groups, to accommodate different communication preferences.

Here’s a thought: What if we reimagined networking as a series of one-on-one conversations instead of a large crowd experience? Imagine how much more inclusive and meaningful that could be. 🌈

So, next time you’re planning a networking event, think about these points and let’s make the change together. Everyone deserves a seat at the table. 🧠
