“Hope is not a plan:” How to manage ADHD at work (classic)
About this episode
Rae Jacobson discusses managing ADHD in the workplace with her former boss, Caroline Miller, sharing insights for both employees and managers.
ADHD can create all kinds of challenges in the workplace. Like a list of infinite things to do and to remember. A busy, ever-changing schedule. And co-workers who don’t always know what’s going on in your mind. There’s a lot to figure out. But recently, Rae Jacobson found herself wondering what it's like on the other side — to manage someone who’s neurodivergent and still figuring it out. So, Rae called her former boss, Caroline Miller, the editorial director of the Child Mind Institute. On this episode of “Hyperfocus,” Rae and Caroline go over this question and Caroline shares some advice on ADHD at work — for employees and managers alike.
