Today, we’re talking to Alex Gilbert of Capeable Consulting. Alex is a New Yorker (Go Mets), a yogi, and a brunch enthusiast. After spending her career in leadership development, Alex has moved into the coaching and consulting with people with learning disabilities and ADHD.
In this excellent, wide ranging episode, Alex talks to us about ADHD and careers. She shares what our favorite games can tell us about the careers we should pursue, how to navigate our weaknesses at work, the roles boredom and excitement play for ADHDers at work, how to distinguish between things that are hard and things that are challenging, ways to help our kids get jobs, and why extracurriculars are so valuable.
