The Secret Behind Our Team's Superpowers
At YOLO, one of our core values is standing out and celebrating the individuality of our team members. We believe that brilliance comes in many forms, and each person brings their own unique strengths to the table. By embracing these differences, we unlock the creative potential that drives our biggest ideas and most innovative projects. Whether you’re engaging with us through business cards or spotting these tags in our email signatures, you’ll see playful insights into how our brilliant minds operate. Each tag highlights the unique talents, approaches, and quirks that make our team exceptional. Here’s a peek into what these fun tags really mean!
#MADEBYDYSLEXIA – “Expect big ideas and small typos.”
Dyslexia is a superpower when it comes to creative thinking and problem-solving. Our team members who are dyslexic often see the bigger picture with ease, coming up with groundbreaking ideas that can change the game. But hey, sometimes those big ideas come with a few small typos. Don’t sweat it—focus on the genius behind the message, not the occasional quirky spelling!
- What to expect: Out-of-the-box ideas, innovative solutions, and maybe a typo or two. Just roll with it—they’re busy dreaming up the next big thing!
#MADEBYADHD – “Creative bursts, with the occasional delay.”
ADHD brings energy, creativity, and bursts of brilliant work—sometimes followed by a little distraction or delay. Our ADHD team members are like fireworks: expect dazzling results but understand that sometimes the spark takes a little longer to ignite.
- What to expect: Exciting ideas, lots of energy, and creativity in spades. If there’s a slight pause, trust that a burst of brilliance is right around the corner!
#MADEBYDYSPRAXIA – “Innovative thinking, with a touch of creative formatting.”
Dyspraxia means that our minds work in wonderful, innovative ways, often coming up with unique solutions and perspectives. However, organizing those ideas can sometimes get a bit… unconventional. But it’s all part of the charm!
- What to expect: Unique, out-of-the-box ideas and maybe an email or document that’s formatted in its own special way. The genius is in the thinking, not the margins!
#MADEBYBPD– “Passionate drive, with moments of intense emotion.”
People with Borderline Personality Disorder often bring immense passion, sensitivity, and commitment to their work. Their emotional intensity can lead to deep engagement and a strong desire to contribute. However, they may also experience moments of self-doubt, emotional turbulence, or sensitivity to feedback, which can affect how they engage with others.
- What to expect: Intense dedication and passion that can fluctuate with periods of emotional vulnerability or sensitivity to interpersonal dynamics.
#MADEBYAUTISM – “Clear communication, no fluff, just facts.”
Autism is all about clarity, precision, and detail. Our autistic team members are fantastic at cutting through the noise and giving you the facts, plain and simple. No fluff, no filler—just the information you need to get things done right.
- What to expect: Clear, concise communication with zero ambiguity. Don’t expect small talk or fluff—just efficiency and precision!
#MADEBYANXIETY – "Prepared for everything, including things that probably won’t happen."
Anxiety brings a hyper-awareness to our team members, which often leads to being extra prepared. They might think about every possible outcome and then some—so you can trust things will be covered from all angles!
- What to expect: Thoughtful planning and attention to detail—sometimes with a bit of extra concern about getting it just right!
#MADEBYOCD – "Organized, precise, and occasionally over-organized."
With OCD, you can expect everything to be in its place. These team members love structure and organization, and they’ll make sure nothing is missed—even if it means double or triple-checking!
- What to expect: Meticulous attention to detail and structure, but maybe with a sprinkle of perfectionism that ensures everything is in its rightful place.
#MADEBYPTSD – "Hyper-aware, prepared, and always thinking ahead."
PTSD can bring a heightened sense of awareness to our team members. They’re often the ones who are two steps ahead, seeing potential risks or pitfalls others might miss. Their past experiences have made them resilient and insightful.
- What to expect: Sharp focus on surroundings and preparedness for any situation, though some environments may require a bit of extra care.
#MADEBYBIPOLAR – "Extreme creativity, with a few highs and lows."
Bipolar individuals often experience bursts of creativity and energy, which can lead to some of the most innovative and exciting ideas. But just like the seasons, these phases may be followed by quieter, more reflective moments.
- What to expect: Bursts of energy and innovation that may be followed by quieter, more reflective moments.
#MADEBYDEPRESSION – "Empathy, depth, and sometimes needing a little extra time."
Depression can slow things down from time to time, but it also brings a deep sense of empathy and understanding. Our team members experiencing this might need a bit of extra time but will always bring depth and meaning to their work.
- What to expect: Profound understanding and empathy, with the occasional day where things move a bit slower.
#MADEBYSOCIALANXIETY – "Observant and thoughtful, with an occasional escape plan."
Those with social anxiety might not love large meetings or big social gatherings, but they’re often great listeners and observers. You’ll get thoughtful, considered responses and contributions—just maybe in a smaller group setting.
-
What to expect: Sharp insight and careful listening, but some situations may require a quick exit or quiet time.
In our world, neurodiversity and mental health are celebrated. These little quirks aren't just traits—they’re part of what makes us awesome! So the next time you see one of these tags, know that behind it is a creative genius making magic in their own way.
