The Podcast

Dissonance Disrupted

What happens when the way organizations are designed doesn't match the way people actually work? That's the question Sherri Dockree and Nicki Straza explore every episode — with honesty, humour and a lot of real-world experience between them.

From discomfort to dialogue. From friction to understanding. From the gap to the bridge.

About the Show

Conscious leadership, generational diversity and neurodiversity — in conversation.

Dissonance Disrupted is a podcast about the places where people and organizations don't quite fit together — and what to do about it. Sherri and Nicki bring their combined experience in neurodiversity, generational diversity, leadership and workplace culture to conversations that are honest, practical and occasionally a little uncomfortable.

Because the best conversations usually are.

"From discomfort to dialogue — exploring what it really takes to build workplaces where everyone can do their best work."
