About This Episode
In this week’s episode of the Total Entrepreneur: Mind Body Spirit podcast, host Dr. John Torrens welcomes Skye, an expert in ADHD coaching for entrepreneurs.

They discuss common struggles of entrepreneurs with ADHD, such as time management, prioritization, and emotional regulation. Skye offers actionable strategies like the prioritization filter, movement routines, and mindfulness practices to help entrepreneurs manage their ADHD symptoms and thrive in their businesses. About Skye: Skye Waterson is a former academic turned coach, podcast host, and founder of an international ADHD support service, Unconventional Organisation. After getting a surprise ADHD diagnosis in the first year of her PhD, Skye turned her struggles into research-based strategies. She researched and wrote over 50 articles with a combined readership of 250,000+ and then began her next phase of disseminating these strategies around the world. Invited to share her strategies with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) in 2022, Skye has supported late-diagnosed healthcare professionals, professors, lawyers, reporters, fortune 500 directors, and entrepreneurs. She crafted her vision for Unconventional Organisation after realizing how few personalized ADHD strategies were available for adults following her diagnosis. Skye has been a guest speaker on The Writer Files, The Productivity Show, Faster Than Normal, ADHD Disrupt, and the New Zealand Disability Employer's Network. Her podcast, the ADHD Skills Lab, became an instant mainstay in the ADHD community with 100k+ downloads and guests including the President of CHADD, Jeremy Didier, Author of Extra Focus with ADHD, Jesse Anderson, and Wimbledon TV Presenter Simon Mundie.
