“I thought I was just quirky.” Plus, ADHD accommodations at work (Mananya’s story)

Executive Mananya Komorowski has been described as “brilliant but
chaotic” and “unlike any other executive.” Mananya thought she
was just quirky, until she found out she has ADHD.


Over the last few years, Mananya has experienced a lot of loss. A
number of her loved ones have died. To cope, she’d set her
emotions aside and hyperfocus on work. Then her grief counselor
recommended an ADHD test. Now, she’s making space to process her
feelings. And she’s thinking a lot about ADHD accommodations at
work — especially in high-stress executive roles.
