The ADHD Skills Lab
Things are starting to fall through the cracks.
Not because you're not trying, but because the systems everyone recommends weren't built for a brain like yours.
The ADHD Skills Lab is for business owners with ADHD whose responsibilities have grown past simple solutions. Each week, Skye Waterson and guests share research-backed strategies and real-world systems to help you reduce the chaos, make consistent progress, and stop reinventing the wheel every time life gets complex.
No "just use a planner." No productivity hacks that last a week. Just honest, practical support from someone who has spent years researching, testing, and refining what actually works for adult ADHD.
Skye is the founder of Unconventional Organisation, a former academic diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD, and the author of over 50 articles read by more than 250,000 people worldwide. She has worked with senior leaders, business owners, academics, and professionals navigating ADHD in high-responsibility roles, and was invited to share her research with both the Australian and New Zealand Government.

ADHD & Finances: More Than Just Impulsivity?!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Impulse spending is a product of more than just ADHD impulsivity, and we’re excited to untangle what that means!
On this week’s episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we went looking for a research-backed financial decision-making framework—and what we found surprised us! There isn’t as much research on ADHD and financial decision making as we expected, which makes this episode feel even more special.
Curious about what’s inside?
- Discover your financial decision-making style!
- Why impulsive spending might have less to do with ADHD than you think…
- Explore the paradox of ADHD: A blessing or a curse for your career?
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
