How To Turn ADHD Into Your Company's Biggest Asset (with Craig Ballantyne)
Description
Presented by Understood.org
You build a new system, follow it for a few days, then quietly stop using it.
Craig Ballantyne has coached high performers across multiple industries and his approach focuses on building systems that survive real life, not perfect conditions.
This conversation looks at why most systems fail for ADHD brains. Craig explains how self-awareness, environment control, and honest constraints matter more than motivation.
You will leave with a different way to think about systems that actually hold when your brain resists structure.
