Have you ever been in the middle of an important professional conversation when you sensed a shift in the connection with your audience — a tilt of the head, a cooling, something unspoken? Did you immediately start overcompensating in an effort to find your way back? If so, this workshop is for you. Many adults with ADHD bring sophisticated signal-reading capabilities into professional interactions: acute attunement to tone, dynamics, and what’s beneath the surface. But without a framework for activating that intelligence in the moment, it can become a source of dissonance rather than connection. This session offers a practical map for high-stakes professional moments — grounded in current research, 20+ years of communications leadership and executive coaching, and firsthand experience navigating high-visibility leadership with late-diagnosed ADHD. You’ll leave with a reframed approach to signal reading as a genuine professional asset, a three-part framework for real-time use, and a clearer sense of what’s within your control — and what isn’t.
