You Can't Have ADHD - You're Too Successful! and Other Misconceptions About Neurodiversity

Some workplaces can be challenging, especially when there's a lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The "D" in DEI is not just about visible diversity, but also about invisible and internal forms of (neuro)diversity. Leaders and executives with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often suffer in silence and experience the pain of procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and other obstacles that prevent them from flourishing in the workplace. They don't disclose their ADHD due to fear of not being considered for promotions and fear of discrimination. As coaches, how can we better support our neurodiverse clients in their leadership journeys? In this highly interactive session you will learn more about ADHD, its debilitating daily impact, and how coaching can be a game-changer for executives with ADHD! Participants will learn: What ADHD is (and what it isn't), Common workplace challenges for Executive ADHDers, Coaching tips on how to better support your neurodiverse clients.
