How to Thrive at Work with ADHD with Shell Mendelson

Description

We are joined by Shell Mendelson for Episode 13 of The Project Elevate Podcast. Shell is an accomplished ADHD coach who has helped more than 700 people over the past 30 years. She was drawn to this work because she has experienced her fair share of career changes. After a string of unsuccessful secretarial jobs, Shell realized that her strengths in shorthand didn’t mean she was fit for administrative work. Shell embraced her real life’s work over 35 years ago and never looked back. She has worked with ADHD adults since 2010 and empowers her clients to find the same joy that she feels is synonymous with her own career. Shell believes that for those with ADHD, “it is absolutely imperative that we make a choice that reflects that joyful experience for the majority of our work day.”

Over the course of this conversation, Shell dives into the guiding principle of “self-accommodation.” She believes that once you can articulate the accommodations that you need in order to do your best work, you can revolutionize your job search process and start to truly thrive in the office. Shell also debriefs how to sense if your current position is not serving you and how you can get the support that you need to move from a job filled with anxiety to one full of passion.

This week’s motivational message from our guest was: “Do what you love for a living"
