How Research on Leaders with ADHD can Inform Your Coaching
Description
Have you ever worked with a coaching client—whether a rising leader, executive, or founder—who wrestles with the impact of ADHD on how they grow their businesses, lead their teams and manage themselves? Drawing on original survey data from 193 respondents and 40 interviews, this session explores the unique strengths, executive function challenges, and practical strategies of leaders with ADHD. We also will examine the "four wheels" of physical scaffolding for ADHD—exercise, sleep, nutrition, and mindfulness—while also addressing how executive function challenges and deficits intersect with leadership capacity. Designed specifically for ADHD and executive coaches, this presentation translates primary research into actionable coaching frameworks. You will walk away with a nuanced understanding of the ADHD leadership experience and evidence-informed tools to help your clients harness their traits, mitigate burnout, and lead with confidence.
