Description
People with ADHD are often attracted to technology and nonprofits. Technology offers rapid change and new challenges that can hold our attention. And nonprofits attract many people with a passion for a particular mission. These can provide some of the motivation that we ADHDers need to stay engaged with our work. But we still struggle.
ADHD is a disease and can be challenging to manage. We struggle with tasks and projects: getting started, maintaining focus, and completion. In this session, I discuss 3 ways we can approach our work to be more productive and fulfilled as well as serve our colleagues and constituents more effectively.
Whether you have ADHD or a member of your staff does, this session will help take the stigma off the disease and place our attention on the ways we can address it for ourselves and support it in others.
