According to the United Nations, roughly 15 percent of the world’s population is dyslexic. That’s one billion dyslexic thinkers living and working around the globe. While many people would characterize this as a setback, especially when it comes to work, it’s critically important to realign your perspective and recognize the unique gifts of dyslexic thinking in the workplace.
