The ADHD Skills Lab
Navigate each day in an ADHD-friendly way – with research-backed strategies, real-life experiences and expert advice. Each week, UO founder Skye Waterson chats with expert guests, reviews the latest ADHD research, takes your questions and offers practical support to help you move past whatever may be holding you back.
Skye Waterson is a former academic turned coach, podcast host, and founder of an international ADHD support service, Unconventional Organisation. After getting a surprise ADHD diagnosis in the first year of her PhD, Skye turned her struggles into research-based strategies. She researched and wrote over 50 articles with a combined readership of 250,000+ and then began her next phase of disseminating these strategies around the world.
After being invited to share her strategies with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) in 2022, Skye has supported late-diagnosed healthcare professionals, professors, lawyers, reporters, fortune 500 directors, and entrepreneurs. She crafted her vision for Unconventional Organisation after realizing how few personalized ADHD strategies were available for adults following her diagnosis.

Holiday Boundaries for ADHD brains: a Research Recap
Wanna learn how to set boundaries as an ADHD person? The research says we should, but there’s not really a framework to guide us—so we made one!
This week, Skye and I take you on a journey through the world of boundary-setting with ADHD, just in time for the holidays!
Curious about what's inside:
- Why boundaries are so essential for ADHD'ers
- Stories from our own lives (because we're still growing, too!)
- The Four C's & how to use them
If you’ve ever struggled to say “no,” been overwhelmed by constant interruptions, and found yourself burnt out from going above and beyond, this episode is for you.
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
