Show Notes

Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for ambitious corporate women who expect more from their careers.

Here's an interesting definition of ADHD:
"ADHD isn't actually an attention deficit problem - it's an attention consistency problem." Dr William Dodson...

And in this episode (#42) my guest Holly Stanton, Customer Success Director for Salesforce, is generously sharing her insights and experiences of leading herself with ADHD.

Holly is sharing her own personal story of being diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s and how that has positively impacted her. 

  • We discuss how ADHD has impacted Holly as a leader
  • How getting diagnosed was a massive positive step for Holly and her career
  • The value of having a supportive manager and environment when you have ADHD


Holly says:

"After formal diagnosis, you do a lot of reconciling of what's normal and what's not and what that label 'ADHD' means. But in the corporate environment I've had really supportive managers and I have felt fully supported. " (Holly Stanton, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
