Beyond the Buzzwords: Executive Function, RSD, & ADHD in Leadership
Description
Leadership with ADHD isn’t just about managing time or staying organized—it’s about navigating deep emotional and cognitive undercurrents that few leadership frameworks account for. This session goes beyond the buzzwords to explore the often-overlooked intersection of executive dysfunction and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) in high-performing professionals.
Attendees will unpack what it means to lead while carrying the invisible weight of overthinking, avoidance, and emotional exhaustion. Instead of offering surface-level productivity tips, this session dives into the hidden emotional labor of leadership—and the patterns of overcompensating, self-doubt, and fear of rejection that often follow.
Participants will leave with a renewed understanding of themselves and a sustainable model for leading with clarity, self-trust, and emotional regulation. The tools shared will support not just productivity, but a more compassionate and empowered leadership style rooted in neurodivergent strengths.
Whether you're a current or aspiring executive, entrepreneur, or team leader, this session offers real-world strategies to lead effectively—without masking, minimizing your needs, or burning out. You’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and equipped to lead powerfully—without hiding the parts of you that others may not fully understand.
