Latest Episodes

This week on the I Am Cape-Able podcast, join Alex Gilbert, CEO and founder of Cape-Able Consulting, to explore neurodiversity inclusion in the workplace… going beyond the policies and buzzwords. Diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, Alex shares valuable insights and strategies for fostering inclusive work environments that support neurodiverse employees. Tune in as Alex and team member Carissa discuss the importance of company culture, the role of technology, and practical steps to promote inclusivity. Plus, 'See It Through My Eyes' with Andy from Dallas, with a pressing question about communication challenges in the workplace.

In the season one finale of the I Am Cape-Able podcast, host Alex Gilbert (CEO, founder, and coach at Cape-Able Consulting) switches formats to interview former corporate client Jordan Lux. Jordan shares her experience as a neurodiverse professional who led neurodiversity inclusion work at Glassdoor, drawing on a lifelong connection to disability advocacy. They discuss masking, feeling “not disabled enough” to ask for accommodations, common workplace challenges like time blindness and energy limits, and the impact of flexible hours. Jordan describes gaps leaders face when they want to be inclusive but don’t understand neurodiversity, and shares a frustrating example of receiving a negative performance review after major role and team changes without clear expectations, training, or written documentation. Together they explore practical solutions: clearer role expectations, manager training, presenting information both verbally and in writing, mediating communication gaps, reducing burnout (including allowing off-camera work), and using creative approaches like AI-driven gamified meetings to increase engagement. Jordan also shares how she evaluates employers while job searching (job description keywords, Glassdoor work-life balance and disability reviews, and whether accommodation requests are easy to access in job postings) and describes her “wish-list” workplace with remote or flexible office options and core hours across time zones. The episode ends with rapid-fire questions and Alex says thank you to her team and supporters while closing out the season and inviting listeners to connect with Cape-Able Consulting for coaching and corporate training.

Work Should Be Challenging, Not Hard

Hi, I’m Alex. I work with businesses & individuals to build workplaces where every employee can thrive — environments that are productive and supportive, especially for those with ADHD and learning differences. I’m proud to have a 100% return and retention rate with my clients, a reflection of the results we achieve together.

With a background in corporate leadership and development, and a personal diagnosis of ADHD and dyslexia, I understand both the pressures organizations face and the untapped potential of their people. I partner with HR teams to design practical, actionable plans that don’t just check the “inclusion” box, but actually make work better for everyone and regularly deliver keynotes and sit on panels to share practical insights on neurodiversity in the workplace.
