In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with ADHD coach
Sharon from The Functional Family to unpack what ADHD really is,
why the old labels do more harm than good, and how leaders can
create environments where neurodivergent people actually
thrive.

With over 20 years of study, formal ADDCA training, and the lived
experience of raising three boys with ADHD, Sharon blends
science, systems, and humour to turn daily chaos into connection
and function.

We dive into executive function, interest based brains, and very
practical tools you can use at home and at work.

What we cover:

Why ADHD is not an attention deficit and why “disorder”
misses the point

The three ADHD presentations and how they show up in everyday
life

Executive function, time awareness and why so many ADHD
adults feel like they are always behind

Sharon’s open, closed and neutral brain model and how it
helps with regulation at home and at work

How leaders can support ADHD team members with strengths
based tasks, sprints, body doubling and smart accommodations

Practical tools including AI and Goblin Tools to break tasks
down, reduce shame and build sustainable systems

If we can better understand how different brains work, we
unlock potential, deepen compassion and create environments where
everyone can win.
