Is Your Job Burning You Out or Just Built Wrong for ADHD?
Burnout isn’t always a personal failure—it’s often a mismatch between your brain and your work environment.
Skye and in-house researcher Taylor break down three eye-opening studies that explain why ADHD brains struggle in traditional workplaces—and what actually works better. Spoiler: the research also found ADHD might be a secret strength for entrepreneurs.
This episode covers:
- The top causes of ADHD-related burnout (backed by science)
- Practical changes workplaces can make (and how to ask for them)
- Why leadership built on neuroscience could be the future of work
- How impulsive ADHD traits actually boost business performance
This is the conversation you wish your HR team had already heard.

- How to prevent and combat employee burnout and create healthier workplaces during crises and beyond
- Neuroleadership: a new way for happiness management
- ADHD Symptoms, Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), and Firm Performance

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.
