Did you know there is growing evidence that dyslexia can make for a more visionary, innovative CEO? A few of the famous CEOs who openly speak about their dyslexia include Richard Branson, Barbara Corcoran, and Bill Gates. Many other leaders are now stepping forward to publicly discuss being a dyslexic CEO.
In this episode, ahead of the World Dyslexia Assembly in NYC on April 3, 2023, we dig deeper into the promise and challenges of being a dyslexic CEO.
