Description

What happens when both you and your boss have ADHD? In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friend and former colleague, Sherry, for a deep dive into the challenges and strategies of managing up with a neurodivergent manager.

We share real-world stories about navigating chaotic energy, building strengths-based teams, structuring weekly check-ins, and using "reverse accommodations" to create a more successful and supportive workplace.

Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or simply want better communication with your leadership, this conversation is packed with insights you can apply today.

Topics we cover:

  • Managing priorities when your boss has ADHD

  • Building trust through confident vulnerability

  • Supporting overwhelmed managers without doing their job for them

  • Communication tips for remote neurodivergent teams

🎧 Subscribe for more conversations about ADHD, autism, and thriving in the workplace.
