Skye Waterson on Breaking the Barriers: Overcoming Systemic Financial Challenges for Women

🎙️ Podcast Episode Description Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast Host: Vicki Noethling Guest: Skye Waterson Interview Title: How to Grow Without Overwhelm? What if the very thing you’ve been trying to “fix” about yourself is your greatest leadership advantage? After receiving a surprise ADHD diagnosis during the first year of her PhD, Skye Waterson turned personal struggle into purpose. Instead of forcing herself into traditional productivity models that didn’t work for her brain, she leaned into research, psychology, and lived experience to create practical, sustainable strategies designed specifically for neurodiverse entrepreneurs. Skye went on to research and write more than 50 articles with a combined readership of over 250,000, and today she is the founder of Unconventional Organization, an internationally recognized coaching platform helping ADHD entrepreneurs work with their brains—not against them. With a background in psychology and firsthand understanding of neurodiversity, Skye has supported more than 800 entrepreneurs and executives in getting focused, following through, and growing without burnout. She is also the host of the ADHD Skills Lab, which quickly became a trusted resource in the ADHD community with over 150,000 downloads. Skye has been featured on podcasts such as The Productivity Show, Faster Than Normal, ADHD Disrupt, and with the New Zealand Disability Employers’ Network. In this powerful and practical conversation, we unpack what ADHD really is, how it impacts entrepreneurs, and how leaders can build businesses that support focus, consistency, and growth—without overwhelm or shame. In this episode, we discuss: Skye’s personal journey and the turning point that reshaped her work and mission What it truly means to build a business that works with your brain Key mindset shifts ADHD entrepreneurs need to grow sustainably What ADHD is—and what it is, especially in entrepreneurship Why traditional productivity advice often fails neurodiverse leaders Simple, actionable strategies to improve focus and follow-through How to tell the difference between ADHD challenges and mindset blocks One practical tool Skye teaches clients is how to prioritize and stay on track If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, inconsistent, or frustrated trying to “do business the right way,” this episode will give you clarity, permission, and tools to lead—and grow—more confidently.
