Lauren Goldberg (laurengoldbergcoaching.com, linkedin.com/in/lauren-e-goldberg/), a career self-discovery and leadership coach for changemakers working with their ADHD instead of against it, joins host Dan Freehling (contempusleadership.com) on his podcast, Forward-Looking Leadership.
In the episode:
Lauren explains why the ADHD label is just bad branding and what leaders can actually do to support neurodivergent team members (00:39).
She unpacks internalized ableism and what it looks like to turn down the volume on the inner critic and work with your natural wiring rather than against it (03:50).
Lauren and Dan explore why overconfidence and underconfidence so often come from the same place, and how to build confidence that is not rooted in self-judgment (08:33).
Lauren describes the exhausting cost of masking and the freedom of embracing the unique shape that school never made room for (13:03).
She also shares how she is rethinking her own inner bully and inner best friend language through the lens of parts work (20:24).
The conversation turns to the new frontiers she’s exploring in her practice, from nonviolent communication and decolonizing the framework to moving from canceling toward calling people in (24:03).
Lauren lays out the crux of Marshall Rosenberg's nonviolent communication (29:12) and closes with book recommendations through a disability justice lens (31:58).
