Leanne Maskell, a former lawyer turned ADHD Entrepreneur, is doing some seriously AMAZING work in our community.

 It's no secret that, due to struggling for many years in the workplace with undiagnosed ADHD, I am a passionate advocate for supporting my clients in this area and also for those running their own businesses with ADHD. Alongside my dream for the world to see neurodiverse employees as assets when given the freedom and support to thrive in their businesses.

So, after observing Leanne from afar since my ADHD diagnosis, I was extremely excited to finally meet her and have her as a guest on the ADHD Untangled podcast.

And she did not disappoint...

We covered the following topics:

  • UNTREATED ADHD & MENTAL HEALTH: Leanne shares an open and authentic story of her struggles leading up to her own diagnosis, highlighting the seriousness of untreated ADHD in relation to our mental health.
  • ADHD & ENTREPRENEURSHIP: 'You cannot be what you cannot see.' Leanne's insightful advice on what it's really like to be an entrepreneur with ADHD provides evidence that, despite the struggles that come with bringing your dreams to life, with the right mindset and support, we are more than capable of succeeding.
  • ADHD & PERFECTIONISM: I often see the biggest barrier that holds ADHDers back when it comes to doing more meaningful work is our fear of failure and our often painful need for perfectionism. I took so much comfort during this episode after hearing someone as successful as Leanne reference some publicly perceived 'failure/mistakes' she experienced in her early days of launching her first book, ADHD A-Z, and starting her business, ADHD Works. This reinforced my belief that failure is indeed not fatal.
  • ADHD & COACHING: A passionate advocate for ADHD Coaching, Leanne shares how having an ADHD Coach has been integral to the success she has had within her business.
  • ADHD & THE WORKPLACE: Leanne is out there doing the groundwork for changing the way companies see their neurodiverse employees, providing training to companies such as Microsoft and Disney. She gives us some insight into the changes we are seeing and where the gaps are.

I learned so much from Leanne during this episode, and it was a great reminder that being brave enough to step forward with imperfect action is a sure way to overcome fear and is a powerful mindset that encourages progress, growth, and success."
