ADHD, Authority, and Power at Work

PRIMED for ADHD is a podcast about ADHD in high-functioning professionals, leadership, and sustainable performance at work.

In this episode of PRIMED for ADHD, I explore how professional hierarchy influences the way ADHD traits are interpreted at work.

I look at ADHD from both sides of authority: what happens when you report to power, and what happens when you hold it.

Stop Making It Harder Sessions

I’m opening five Stop Making It Harder sessions.

In one 60-minute session, you identify the one place you’re making this harder than it needs to be and define one shift that makes the rest easier.

If you’re interested, email [email protected] with the subject line “Stop making it harder.” I’ll send you two short questions and the booking link.
