Ever been told to “just focus harder” in a conversation?

That advice doesn’t just miss the mark, it overlooks the superpowers hidden in how the ADHD brain works.

In this episode of Speaking with Confidence, Tim Newman flips the script on conventional communication strategies and shares science-backed techniques that align with how ADHD brains naturally function. From rapid-fire thinking to memory gaps and impulsive interjections, Tim reframes these common traits not as barriers, but as opportunities for transformation.

You’ll learn:

  • Why ADHD brains process language up to 20x faster, and how to adjust for it
  • The 2-second pause that boosts perceived competence by 37%
  • How nonverbal signals can reduce interruptions by 62%
  • A 3-word memory trick that can increase recall by up to 80%
  • How to turn impulsivity into authenticity in every conversation

This isn’t about “fixing” communication, it’s about rewiring your approach so it works with your brain, not against it. Whether you live with ADHD or lead someone who does, these insights offer practical tools to create more meaningful, effective conversations.
