'A World of Difference: Embracing Neurodiversity,' S4, E5 | Difference Makers | Giselle Mota

For Giselle Mota, the future is now.

At least when it comes to work. As an inclusive futurist and thought leader, she is laser-focused on pairing diversity and inclusion with the future of work whether it be regarding artificial intelligence, automation, and more in her roles as chief of product inclusion at ADP and as the founder of Versd, an inclusive innovation and strategic ventures group.

Yet, it was a moment in her past that changed her future: As a young child, struggling in school, Mota was diagnosed with dyslexia.

And that discovery unlocked a shiny future for her that has seen her achieve a master’s degree, a stint as a college professor, and become a hot ticket on the global speaking circuit.

You might even say, her future’s so bright, she’s got to wear metaverse shades.

Chief correspondent Cindy Peterson brings us her story.
