This episode is a re-release from earlier in the season whilst I take a break over summer.
 
ADHD is an invisible disorder that is often misdiagnosed, undiagnosed or sometimes masked from boss’s and peers. This episode is in the top 3 of most downloaded episodes which suggests the latent hunger for a better understanding about this condition.
 
Brooke Schnittman joins me on this episode to tell us about her journey to becoming an ADHD Coach. Brooke started out as a special education teacher working with students with ADHD disability and the whole time didn't know that she herself had ADHD. In an effort to make a bigger impact, she found ADHD coaching and now works with a team of coaches currently on a path to help 10 million individuals with ADHD over the next 5 years.
 
We cover:

  • The negative messaging about ADHD from various sources
  • How many women with ADHD go undiagnosed and why
  • People with invisible conditions like ADHD face unique challenges at work
  • And how boss’s can retain staff with ADHD

As Brooke says,  "People with an invisible disorder very often do that because they're afraid to show their true colours and be themselves."
 
Let’s continue to build workplaces where we all feel we can show up truly as ourselves.
