About Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD
Overcoming Distractions: Thriving with Adult ADHD is a podcast for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders navigating the challenges of adult ADHD. Hosted by David Greenwood, entrepreneur, former corporate executive, author, and fellow adult with ADHD, the show explores how to succeed at work, build a business, lead people, and enjoy a more fulfilling life while working with an ADHD brain. If you're an adult with ADHD who struggles with time management, energy, executive functioning, procrastination, prioritization, focus, organization, or burnout, you'll find practical strategies and honest conversations to help you work through those challenges. Each week, David brings together ADHD experts, successful entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, and other professionals to discuss the real-world challenges of ADHD in business and the workplace. Topics covered on Overcoming Distractions include: • ADHD at Work: Managing workloads, deadlines, distractions, interruptions, and competing priorities. • ADHD Executive Functioning: Improving time management, organization, planning, task initiation, and follow-through. • ADHD and Entrepreneurship: Building systems, managing finances, delegating, making decisions, and running a business with ADHD. • ADHD Leadership: Leading teams, leveraging strengths, improving communication, and navigating executive responsibilities. • ADHD and Burnout: Managing stress, emotional regulation, overcommitment, and the demands of a busy professional life. • Thriving with Adult ADHD: Building self-awareness, confidence, better habits, and a professional and personal life that works with your brain. David draws on decades of entrepreneurial and executive experience, along with his own experience navigating life and business with ADHD. This isn't about becoming someone you're not or trying to force your brain to work like everyone else's. It's about understanding your ADHD, building practical systems, leveraging your strengths, and finding ways to work with less stress and more fulfillment. Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, executive, manager, or busy professional with adult ADHD, Overcoming Distractions offers practical advice and real-world perspectives to help you thrive.
