ADHD at Work

Collette @ Loops

Short, honest stories from people with ADHD in the workplace. What it is really like, and how it shapes their work, their careers, and the people around them. People with ADHD often talk about the moment they found their people, their tribe. At work, that moment is rare. Many of us mask, and never hear a colleague describe the same struggles. Every story shared reaches someone at work who has not found their people yet, and gives them real hope.

    Brought to you by Loops.Work - the ADHD App built for and by people with ADHD to help us stop procrastinating and achieve more. ADHD can make a finance leader brilliant at seeing the whole business and vulnerable to the tiny details that can undermine trust. Group Finance Director Jamie Brown talks with host Collette Easton about working with both sides of that reality, and what managers can do to help people thrive. Jamie’s career has taken him from entry-level finance to senior leadership across manufacturing, biotech and software. His ADHD helps him connect ideas, spot how systems affect one another and bring energy to change. But repetitive work, boredom and detail-heavy tasks can bring missed information and frustrating mistakes. He shares how he builds safeguards, asks colleagues to check his work and finds roles where his strengths can make a difference. You’ll hear how Jamie’s diagnosis came after years on a waiting list, why a varied role keeps him engaged, and what it’s like to disclose ADHD at work without expecting special treatment. He also reflects on the overlap between ADHD, depression and workplace wellbeing, and why changing circumstances can affect performance in ways colleagues may not see. For employers and leaders, Jamie’s advice is practical: treat mistakes as opportunities to coach, make support genuinely accessible, and don’t assume one way of working suits everyone. Flexibility isn’t just an accommodation; it can help build a stronger, more adaptable team. If you’re navigating ADHD at work, managing someone who is, or trying to create a more human workplace, this conversation offers an honest look at accountability, support and making room for people to do their best work.
