Ep16 Negotiation, Cognitive Diversity, and the Power of Listening | Roberto Ordoñez | See Me Podcast | Máire

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> Welcome to the See Me Podcast, hosted by psychotherapist and neurodivergent advocate Máire Crouchman.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> In this episode, Máire is joined by Roberto Ordoñez, an internationally respected negotiator with decades of experience advising governments, oil and gas companies, and family businesses on high-stakes deals. Roberto is known for shifting the way people think about negotiation, moving it away from the loudest argument and back to something quieter and far more powerful, the humility to listen and understand.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> Together, they explore what really happens in the room during a high-stakes negotiation, how nervous systems, ego, and unspoken cues shape the outcome, and why reading a person accurately matters more than any prepared script. Roberto shares the moment he realised negotiation was not about winning the argument, the negotiations that nearly did not happen, and what shifted the room when they did.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> The conversation also turns to cognitive diversity, and how easily traits such as fidgeting or different patterns of eye contact can be misread in professional settings. Roberto and Máire discuss why the same nonverbal cues can mean very different things depending on the person in front of you, and what leaders lose when they mistake regulation for evasion.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> ✨ In this episode:</p> <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Negotiating for governments, oil and gas, and family businesses</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why negotiation is about listening to understand, not to respond</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Reading the room when ego, fear, and defensiveness take over</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">How to regulate a conversation back when nervous systems are activated</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> High-stakes negotiations that nearly did not happen, and what shifted them</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Nonverbal cues, cognitive diversity, and the danger of misreading behaviour</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why fidgeting is not always what people assume</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Communication as the foundation of sustainable high performance</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Leading with humility across cultures and complex environments</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> 📌 About the host:<br /> Máire Crouchman is a psychotherapist, educator, and neurodivergent woman dedicated to creating spaces where every kind of mind is welcome.</p>

Ep15 AI, Empathy, and the Future of Human Connection | Bashar | See Me Podcast | Máire

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> Welcome to the See Me Podcast, hosted by psychotherapist and neurodivergent advocate Máire Crouchman.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> In this episode, Máire is joined by Bashar, Managing Director and a leading voice in artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and strategic leadership across the Middle East. With decades of experience driving innovation across the region, Bashar brings a grounded, human perspective on how AI is reshaping the way we work, connect, and think about intelligence itself.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> Together, they explore the shift from what AI can do to what AI can be, why the machines we speak to "know everything but understand nothing," and what this new landscape means for leaders, teams, and neurodivergent individuals navigating the workplace of the future. Bashar shares a clear, practical view on where AI can genuinely support inclusion, where it risks deepening isolation, and why responsibility for every decision ultimately stays with the human.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> The conversation moves through leadership, creativity, community, and the ethical questions we cannot afford to ignore, from bias in data and algorithms to the difference between artificial intelligence and augmented intelligence.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> ✨ In this episode:</p> <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The shift from what AI can do to what AI can be</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why AI knows everything but understands nothing</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The mixed workforce of the future: humans and AI agents working side by side</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">How AI can offer more accommodating, less biased engagement for neurodivergent individuals</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The risk of isolation, addiction, and losing real human community</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Leadership, creativity, and technical fluency as the skills of the future</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Ethical AI, hidden biases in data and algorithms, and the case for augmented intelligence</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why we should regulate the use case, not the technology</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Redefining "normal" and why neurodivergent minds are built for what comes next</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> 📌 About the host:<br /> Máire Crouchman is a psychotherapist, educator, and neurodivergent woman dedicated to creating spaces where every kind of mind is welcome.</p>

They are our children, autism or no autism."
