Episode notes

Many of my entrepreneurial clients have ADHD and a growing number of them are women identified as gifted in childhood. While they are exceptionally bright, creative and original thinkers, gifted entrepreneurs struggle with perfectionism, imposter syndrome and overcomplicating their business. In this episode, we will highlight the nuances and commonalities between these two facets of identity and delve into the 7 areas of overlap between ADHD and giftedness in entrepreneurial women.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

The year is almost over, but you can make the decision now to start 2024 off right.

My signature program, The Boss Up Breakthrough 🔥 can help you right-size your business so that you can avoid burnout, establish sustainable boundaries, and uncover the profit potential in your coaching or consulting business. Many of my clients are gifted and/or 2e, and so am I, so I am both like minded, and like brained.

I work in 3 month engagements and help you clarify what’s working, what isn’t and what your options are for bringing the joy back to your business. It’s hard to identify and implement what’s truly necessary on your own, so if you’ve been thinking about making these changes for a while, let me help you actually move the needle. Since the holidays are upon us, we will be starting in January. At this time, I am only accepting 1:1 clients and the first step is to schedule a free 30-minute consultation right here: https://bit.ly/calendly-free-consultation 🌟
