In this episode, Dr. Shauna Pollard and I had a dynamic discussion on navigating life and career through the lens of ADHD, entrepreneurship, and the unique challenges faced by BIPOC communities.
Here are three key takeaways:
- Embracing Neurodivergence in Business: We shared how openly disclosing our neurodivergent identities has not only helped us embrace who we are but has also made clients with similar characteristics feel more comfortable seeking therapy.
- Importance of Community and Support: Dr. Pollard’s coaching programs and consultation groups for BIPOC ADHD entrepreneurs highlight the crucial need for community support. These groups offer a platform for participants nationwide to connect and discuss essential topics like finances, practice-building, and resources.
- Navigating the Challenges of Entrepreneurship with ADHD: Entrepreneurship requires balancing numerous ideas and managing expectations, a challenge magnified for those with ADHD. It’s important to temper energy to prevent burnout and diversify interests to sustain longevity in practice.
