Responsibility handled.But privately, he knew he was drifting.After being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, following his sons’ diagnoses, he began to look at how he was operating. Not just as a father, but as a leader. At home. In business. With himself.In this conversation, Skye and Adam unpack:What actually changes after a late ADHD diagnosisHow overwhelm escalates and why some days collapse fastThe identity shift from practitioner to leader in businessDelegation, emotional regulation, and being the tone-setter at homeThey talk through structure, routines, communication, and the tension between flexibility and discipline in a neurodivergent household.This episode is not about productivity hacks.It is about responsibility, self-awareness, and learning to lead without burning out or defaulting to shame.If you are a parent, a founder, or someone who knows you are capable of more than “going through the motions,” this conversation will resonate.Connect with Adam Tasker, COO of High Performance Father, at https://highperformancefather.com or email him directly at [email protected] for resources and support. P.S.
