What if the very reliability that built your success is the same thing burning you out?

Dave addresses a common dilemma for high-achieving adults, leaders, and entrepreneurs with ADHD. Being the reliable person who always delivers, but at the cost of personal energy, priorities, and peace of mind.

Key Discussion Points:

The Hidden Costs of Reliability: Overextending yourself drains strategic focus, pushes personal priorities aside, hides internal mental overload behind external success, and ties personal identity to being indispensable. Why ADHDers Get Caught in the Cycle: Factors like relying on urgency for momentum, struggling to assess capacity, seeking immediate rewards from solving problems, and serving as the default organizational safety net drive this pattern. What busy professionals with ADHD can do to take their time and energy back! How to stop being the person who does everything. But still be a reliable leader. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one? Go to www.overcomingdistractions.com and book an introductory Zoom chat.
