Dyslexia affects as many as 1 in 5 people, yet its benefits remain shrouded in mystery. With Dyslexic Design Thinking, Gil Gershoni shares how dyslexia offers a heightened advantage, what he calls his “hyper-ability.” Through the lens of his experiences as a creative director and entrepreneur, Gil shows how he transformed a perceived weakness into a strength and explores the steps needed to build awareness and effect change.

Happy Dyslexia Awareness Month to our community of dyslexics and dyslexia advocates! Dyslexic Design Thinking got an early start on the festivities with an appearance at the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit last month, where founder Gil Gershoni spoke on the topic of “Neurodiversity Unleashed.” If you missed it, not to worry! We’ve got much more in store for the rest of the month, including a podcast livestream with X Games skier Alex Hackel, the debut of our dyslexia style guide and the ongoing Dear Dyslexia: The Postcard Project. As always, if you have something to share, drop us a line at dyslexia@gershoni.com. We love hearing from you!
On Tuesday, Oct. 1, we had the pleasure of hosting a special live recording of the Dyslexic Design Thinking podcast featuring X Games skier, filmmaker, and entrepreneur Alex Hackel. In an engaging conversation with host Gil Gershoni, Alex shared insights into his medal-winning skiing career, his work with the Swedish production company The Bunch, and the creation of his ski brand 1000 Skis.
The event, streamed live on YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn, gave viewers a unique opportunity to hear Alex’s story of innovation and passion, both on and off the slopes.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting event! Stay tuned for more episodes of Dyslexic Design Thinking.
