Stepping into a leadership role as someone with ADHD requires courage and resilience. It’s about embracing your authentic self while navigating professional environments that may not always fully understand or accommodate diverse perspectives. At Lead With Curiosity, Jen Pasquale understands these challenges firsthand and is committed to supporting leaders with ADHD on their journey of self-discovery, helping them overcome barriers, and guiding them to success—on their own terms.


As a leader with ADHD, you bring unique strengths to the table —creative thinking, attention to detail, and a fresh perspective that can drive both your team and organization forward. However, the path isn’t without challenges. Many leaders with ADHD experience masking, the practice of hiding or adapting their behaviors to fit in, which can lead to feelings of guilt and shame. Jen offers a safe space to explore these challenges and embrace authenticity.


Jen’s coaching approach is rooted in curiosity and compassion, empowering ADHD leaders to navigate the professional world with confidence. Through thoughtful, curiosity-driven questions, Jen helps uncover your potential and supports your leadership growth. Whether you're facing communication challenges, leadership dilemmas, or navigating complex workplace dynamics, her guidance provides practical tools for you to thrive.


Navigating leadership roles while managing ADHD can be both rewarding and challenging. It requires embracing your strengths and addressing common obstacles like masking, guilt, and the pressure to fit into neurotypical norms. Jen Pasquale understands these complexities and is here to support your journey toward leading with confidence and authenticity.


Action Steps:

  • Self-Reflection and Acceptance: Embrace your ADHD and recognize how it shapes your leadership style. Celebrate the unique strengths you bring to your team.

  • Overcoming Masking: Work towards showing up authentically by shedding the mask often worn in neurotypical environments. Jen's coaching offers strategies to maintain your confidence while being true to yourself.

  • Building Support Networks: Surround yourself with allies who understand and appreciate your ADHD. Seek out communities and mentors where you can share experiences and learn from others in similar leadership roles.
