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, Leadership, and the Identity Shift That Changes Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“I wasn’t failing. I just wasn’t growing.”
Adam Tasker had the career. The family. Three kids. Responsibility handled.
But privately, he knew he was drifting.
After being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, following his sons’ diagnoses, he began to look at how he was operating. Not just as a father, but as a leader. At home. In business. With himself.
In this conversation, Skye and Adam unpack:
- What actually changes after a late ADHD diagnosis
- How overwhelm escalates and why some days collapse fast
- The identity shift from practitioner to leader in business
- Delegation, emotional regulation, and being the tone-setter at home
They talk through structure, routines, communication, and the tension between flexibility and discipline in a neurodivergent household.
This episode is not about productivity hacks.
It is about responsibility, self-awareness, and learning to lead without burning out or defaulting to shame.
If you are a parent, a founder, or someone who knows you are capable of more than “going through the motions,” this conversation will resonate.
