EP 38: The Unburdened Leader Roundtable Sessions: ADHD And Leadership with Tara Newman and Lindsay Padilla, PhD


Listen Later

If you want to lead yourself well, you have to know yourself well.


The tricky thing is, it can be surprisingly hard to really know yourself.


We live in a world where we are told by others–on repeat–who we should be and who we are.


We have gotten so good at being who we think we are supposed to be that we end up believing there is something intrinsically wrong with who we uniquely are.


Especially when it comes to behaviors, personality traits and abilities associated with how your nervous

system operates.


We tag the word disorder onto neurological differences like autism and attention deficit and hyperactivity which pathologize aspects of being human.


This dangerously narrow view of health and functioning decreases everyone’s ability to better understand the incredible resources we have in ourselves and in those around us.


We all are trying to figure out what makes us tick and how we can improve our work and life.


And that is what today’s Unburdened Leader Roundtable guests did recently–and in the process, they were each formally diagnosed with ADHD–which helped them connect the dots on so many aspects of their life and start to lead themselves and their businesses with more confidence and clarity.
