This excerpt, "Thriving with ADHD: A Career in Collaboration," describes the author's personal and professional experiences with ADHD and dyslexia, using Sir Richard Branson's similar experiences as a point of reference. The author explains how their neurodivergence impacts their work performance, particularly in areas requiring detailed planning, follow-through, and delegation. They highlight the importance of collaborative environments where others can compensate for their challenges, citing successful experiences in well-funded companies with supportive colleagues or agencies. Conversely, the author recounts struggles in environments lacking such support, emphasizing the necessity of self-awareness, communication of limitations, and strategic outsourcing to thrive with ADHD. Ultimately, the text advocates for embracing one's "cannot-dos" as strengths and finding or creating environments that accommodate these differences.
