Is Your Job Burning You Out or Just Built Wrong for ADHD?
Season 1
Episode 93
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
Burnout isn’t always a personal failure—it’s often a mismatch between your brain and your work environment.
Skye and in-house researcher Taylor break down three eye-opening studies that explain why ADHD brains struggle in traditional workplaces—and what actually works better. Spoiler: the research also found ADHD might be a secret strength for entrepreneurs.
This episode covers:
- The top causes of ADHD-related burnout (backed by science)
- Practical changes workplaces can make (and how to ask for them)
- Why leadership built on neuroscience could be the future of work
- How impulsive ADHD traits actually boost business performance
This is the conversation you wish your HR team had already heard.
