TEDX TaLK
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 50. Not as a crisis — as an explanation. This talk is about what happened when I stopped fighting my brain and started working with it. It's built around the Root Down Framework: Know Yourself, Respect Yourself, Connect Yourself.
If you've ever felt like you were working twice as hard for half the results, this one's for you.
The ADHD Advantage — and the framework that changed how I see myself.
I found out I had ADHD at 50. It explained everything.
For decades, I built a career in marketing, communications, and speaking — working with clients like Google along the way. I wrote a book on networking. I ran teams. I gave talks.
And the whole time, I had no idea why some days everything clicked, and other days I couldn't get out of my own way.
Getting diagnosed changed that. Not because ADHD is an excuse, but because understanding how my brain works lets me stop working against it. I built frameworks that work for me. And it turns out, they work for a lot of other people too.
That's what I bring to every keynote, every coaching session, every workshop: practical tools that actually stick, from someone who needed them to.
