Adult ADHD diagnoses are rising rapidly, particularly among high-performing professionals in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
In this candid conversation, Kristina Shields from myosh sits down with lifespan psychologist Dr Natalie Flatt to explore what late diagnosis ADHD reveals about modern work design, leadership and psychosocial risk.
Together they unpack the hidden cost of masking and over-functioning, why many successful professionals feel chronically overwhelmed, and how workplace systems, not just individuals, play a critical role in performance and wellbeing.
You’ll learn:
- Why ADHD diagnoses are increasing among professionals
- The neuroscience behind executive functioning and attention
- How masking and over-functioning lead to burnout
- The hidden strengths many neurodivergent professionals bring to teams
- Practical ways leaders can design work that supports clarity, performance and psychological safety
This discussion reframes ADHD from an individual deficit to a workplace systems conversation, one that can improve outcomes for everyone.
