How ADHD Shapes Leadership — Lessons from a Career Coach

Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Episode 048: In this eye-opening episode of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, Ron sits down with leadership coach and engineer Jeremy Doran to explore the powerful intersection of ADHD, psychology, and professional growth.

Jeremy opens up about how his engineering background—and his own journey of self-understanding—led him to coach others in one of the most neurodivergent industries out there. From communication struggles to emotional intelligence, from Myers-Briggs realizations to the underestimated value of “feeling” in problem-solving—this is the kind of conversation that will stick with you.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• Why ADHD is so common in fields like engineering (and why that’s a good thing)
  
  

• How emotionally intelligent leadership can unlock innovation in neurodiverse teams
  
  

• Why most managers fail without coaching—and what to do about it
  
  

• The brain science behind “thinking vs. feeling” personalities
  
  

• How embracing ADHD can lead to more engaged teams and more profitable companies
  
  

• Real-life ways to identify ADHD traits in yourself or your team (and what to do next)
  
  

• Why diversity of thought is just as critical as diversity of background
  
  

💡 Whether you're leading a team, working in tech, or just trying to better understand how your brain works—this episode will leave you thinking differently about what leadership really looks like in a neurodivergent world.
