ADHD in the Workplace: How to Get Promoted Without Burning Out (Kendall Berg)

The ADHD Skills Lab

If you’ve ever thought, I work so hard—why am I not getting ahead? or How do I actually position myself for a promotion without working myself into the ground?—this episode is for you.

Skye sits down with career strategist and late-diagnosed ADHDer Kendall Berg to break down what it really takes to succeed in corporate spaces with ADHD. We’re pulling apart the real research behind career growth, burnout, and how to make your ADHD strengths work for you.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Why “just work harder” is bad career advice (and what to do instead)
  • How executives actually decide who gets promoted (hint: it’s not just about performance)
  • The networking strategy that ADHD professionals need to stay on leadership’s radar
  • How to position yourself for a promotion—even if you’ve struggled with consistency


Want to move up in your career without sacrificing your mental health? This episode is a must-listen.

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
