Ever wonder why some of your top performers seem disorganized, overwhelmed, or emotionally tapped out? What if it's not a performance issue-but unrecognized ADHD? Let's talk about it.

In this bold and honest episode of Leading Minds, we sit down with Dr. Kiara Manosalvas-a licensed psychologist, educator, and expert in ADHD and mental health-to explore how ADHD shows up in leaders, especially women and people of color, and why it's often missed or misdiagnosed.

We unpack the difference between stress and neurodivergence, the emotional toll of internalized self-talk, and how leaders can turn ADHD from a perceived limitation into a leadership strength. Plus, we offer real, practical tips for navigating leadership with ADHD-and how to build teams that are more inclusive and human-centered.

Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or lead someone who does-this conversation is for you.

🧠 Topics we cover:

- What ADHD actually looks like in adults

- Why so many women and people of color are undiagnosed

- The cost of masking and misdiagnosis in leadership roles

- How to lead with emotional regulation and executive function challenges

-Tips for creating more inclusive, neurodivergent-friendly teams

🎧 Tune in and learn how to lead with more awareness, empathy, and grit.
