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 in the Workplace: How to Get Promoted Without Burning Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever thought, I work so hard—why am I not getting ahead? or How do I actually position myself for a promotion without working myself into the ground?—this episode is for you.
Skye sits down with career strategist and late-diagnosed ADHDer Kendall Berg to break down what it really takes to succeed in corporate spaces with ADHD. We’re pulling apart the real research behind career growth, burnout, and how to make your ADHD strengths work for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why “just work harder” is bad career advice (and what to do instead)
- How executives actually decide who gets promoted (hint: it’s not just about performance)
- The networking strategy that ADHD professionals need to stay on leadership’s radar
- How to position yourself for a promotion—even if you’ve struggled with consistency
Want to move up in your career without sacrificing your mental health? This episode is a must-listen.
