Welcome - from me, myself and my ADHD.
I’ve adventured through the corporate and small business worlds over 20 years. I’ve chased the dreams, skipped up and slipped down the career-ladder. I’ve been an institutional misfit and a shining example of the ‘company man’. I’ve been told I’ve achieved success, but have been well and truly humbled by my own failings…
I’ve been lucky enough to have fun along the way. Much of the time I’ve been professionally fulfilled, at others I’ve been resentful and tired from the slog. Through this I’ve generally enjoyed myself, met a bunch of fascinating people and still smile most of the day!
By 38 I had my dream job on the leadership team of a global multinational business with all the expatriate perks and trimmings! But I chose to move back home for my daughter. Some things are more important.
I’ve jumped at the tough assignments and I’ve had some truly fascinating gigs but I’ve never met an awesome job that couldn’t also become mundane. Over time I’ve found that the more energy and humour I bring to work the more fun I get out of it.
Oh, and I have ADHD. That kinda adds to the fun!
With a smile on my face, and an apology for my rambling vernacular, I’d like to share what I learnt along the way....
