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.

Why Perfectionism Keeps Your Business Stuck (Even Though You're An Overachiever)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can be successful on paper and still feel stuck.
In this episode, Skye talks with entrepreneur and investor Kassidy Warren about leaving the corporate “safe path,” taking real risks, and the identity shift required to stop playing small. They unpack rejection, procrastination, reinvesting before results, and what it actually means to turn pro — especially with an ADHD brain.
If you’ve built something stable but know you’re capable of more, this one will hit.
What we cover:
- The hidden cost of corporate stability and “golden handcuffs”
- Why procrastination is fear in disguise
- How to handle rejection without shrinking
- The mindset shift from amateur to professional
- Acting before you feel ready — and why waiting keeps you stuck
