Hello, and welcome back to Proudly ADHD.
00:01:09.117 --> 00:01:13.537
I'm your host, Coach Kathy Rashidian, and it's been quite a journey,
00:01:13.877 --> 00:01:16.977
two years since our last episode to be exact.
00:01:17.217 --> 00:01:21.597
I can't tell you how excited I am to be back behind the mic with you.
00:01:21.597 --> 00:01:27.097
For those of you that continue to listen to my episodes, I want to thank you.
00:01:27.237 --> 00:01:30.877
Even though we haven't published any new episodes for the last two years,
00:01:31.117 --> 00:01:32.977
this podcast has been thriving.
00:01:33.257 --> 00:01:37.997
Lots of downloads, lots of global listening, and lots of feedback about when
00:01:37.997 --> 00:01:41.997
am I going to publish the next episode. So here we go.
00:01:42.217 --> 00:01:47.317
For those of you just joining us, let me give you a little bit of a quick background.
00:01:47.317 --> 00:01:52.417
In 2018, I received my ADHD diagnosis as an adult.
00:01:52.717 --> 00:01:56.737
At that time, I was climbing the corporate ladder in tech and marketing.
00:01:56.917 --> 00:02:03.057
But that diagnosis, it was like finding the missing piece of the puzzle that
00:02:03.057 --> 00:02:05.877
I'd been trying to solve my whole life.
00:02:06.857 --> 00:02:09.337
2019 marked a tipping point for me.
00:02:10.013 --> 00:02:15.333
I made what some call a radical decision, leaving my corporate career to become
00:02:15.333 --> 00:02:19.793
an executive coach specializing in ADHD in the workplace.
00:02:20.113 --> 00:02:23.453
This wasn't just about changing jobs.
00:02:23.453 --> 00:02:31.093
It was about aligning my life with my values, my strengths, and my authentic self.
00:02:31.093 --> 00:02:36.793
Over the past six years, I've had the privilege of coaching leaders and professionals
00:02:36.793 --> 00:02:42.293
who, like me, are navigating the unique intersection of ADHD and leadership.
00:02:42.793 --> 00:02:49.053
This podcast has been our meeting ground, a place where we dive deep into leadership,
00:02:49.453 --> 00:02:53.713
self-mastery, and professional growth through the ADHD lens.
00:02:53.713 --> 00:02:58.733
And while I've been away from the microphone, I've been immersed in growing
00:02:58.733 --> 00:03:04.873
my practice and my skills and gathering new insights about what it truly means
00:03:04.873 --> 00:03:07.733
to thrive as a leader with ADHD.
00:03:08.433 --> 00:03:14.173
One of my biggest revelations through it all, the extraordinary power of community.
00:03:14.173 --> 00:03:20.893
When I launched the Quantum Thinkers in 2021, I witnessed firsthand how connection
00:03:20.893 --> 00:03:24.673
and shared experiences can catalyze growth.
00:03:25.073 --> 00:03:30.453
This has led me to expand beyond one-on-one coaching to create more group experiences
00:03:30.453 --> 00:03:34.593
that foster both individual and collective growth.
00:03:34.893 --> 00:03:41.153
So what's ahead for us? This show is getting a makeover, starting with the name.
00:03:41.153 --> 00:03:46.693
We're going to be calling this show Refined Leadership, ADHD Lens,
00:03:47.073 --> 00:03:49.933
Reflecting Our Evolved Focus.
00:03:49.933 --> 00:03:56.313
We'll be exploring practical leadership strategies that are tailored for the ADHD mind,
00:03:56.733 --> 00:04:02.273
career advancement techniques that leverage our unique thinking patterns,
00:04:02.593 --> 00:04:06.593
methods for aligning your work with your core values and strengths.
00:04:06.593 --> 00:04:12.593
And also from time to time, I will be speaking to other experts in the field
00:04:12.593 --> 00:04:18.793
of ADHD and also bringing real world stories from leaders who are thriving with ADHD.
00:04:19.553 --> 00:04:24.853
Whether you're an emerging leader, a seasoned executive, or someone ready to
00:04:24.853 --> 00:04:29.953
make meaningful change, this is your space to grow and learn with us.
