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.

The ADHD Skills Lab
Is Executive Functioning Real? 20 years of ADHD research says... maybe?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, Skye and I explore the critical question: is executive functioning even real or is it a poorly defined construct that's been misunderstood for decades?
Curious what's inside?
- What the DSM says about executive function..
- What's the difference between an executive function task vs. executive function measure?
- Some ADHD'ers may not struggle with executive dysfunction at all.
- CTA: If this is you, let us know! I have follow-up questions!
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
