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 my 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.
