Interview: Ready Enough with Tanya Geisler

Neurodivergence and Creating a Culture of Belonging with Eli Trier

Eli Trier joins me on the Ready Enough podcast in this episode, and she knows a thing or two about when people come up against the Imposter Complex. Eli coaches community leaders in building their communities through Online Community Projects. And when it comes to finding a sense of belonging in community, the Imposter Complex loves to show up — both for community members, but also for community hosts. As Eli so beautifully reminds us at the beginning of our conversation, “We all feel like we don’t belong.”

So we get into it. We talk about the Imposter Complex and creating a Culture of Belonging.

Then, Eli shares truthfully, honestly, and generously about her experience of the Imposter Complex, but then how a diagnosis really opened up her whole life to see what else was making her feel like a square peg in a round hole and how neurodiversity fits into creating a Culture of Belonging.

“When people feel valued — when people feel like their contribution is considered to be important by the rest of the group — then they are far more likely to step up."

-Eli Trier
