Leaders, by their very nature, tend to see things differently than other people. One of the terms we’re hearing more about, particularly in the workplace, is neurodiversity.

And Peter Shankman is helping companies understand what that means and how they can benefit from it, through his speaking, his books Faster Than Normal and The Boy with the Faster Brain , and his podcast Faster Than Normal.

He joins Timeless Leadership to share some of his observations about living with ADHD and how there’s hope for everyone — particularly children — to live productively and unselfconsciously with this superpower.
