When we’re struggling, it can be easy to judge ourselves or each other. But if we invite curiosity, we can help ourselves or someone else by asking powerful questions. Jessica shares what questions to ask not just ourselves but anyone else struggling, be they a friend, a family member, or an employee… whether they have ADHD… or not!

I was frequently late to meetings—or I would miss them entirely. Even though I work on a computer and have a digital calendar that sends reminders, I still couldn't seem to keep it straight. Sometimes I would just lose track of time. Other days, I had somehow convinced myself the meeting was at a different time, or I had forgotten what day of the week it was. My "stapler" was to join meetings early... often "obscenely" early. If it's a Zoom meeting, that's really easy. I just join the empty meeting, continue working, and I realize the meeting has started once voices start coming out of my computer. My coworkers know not to be concerned when they get an email notice that I've joined the call hours before the scheduled time. For in-person meetings, if the room is available, I'll bring my laptop and backpack to set up shop at the meeting location. Watching this video reminded me of how grateful I am for my workplace environment. These are, word for word, the exact questions that my boss asked me when we talked about this issue.

Thank you thank you!
