QUOTABLES:

“I described how people with learning disabilities or ADHD — when they are looking at their jobs, the job should be challenging, not hard.” – Alexandra Gilbert

“Inattentive ADHD is someone who's a little spacey and looks like they're paying attention, but not mentally there. Someone who has hyperactive ADHD, in women, tends to be those who are very talkative, chatty, [or] social butterflies. And they're usually very high achieving women.” – Alexandra Gilbert 

“One of those things that makes it really hard for people with ADHD is they feel like they need to compare themselves to people who are neurotypical. They fundamentally think differently [and] work differently.” – Alexandra Gilbert

“Before you can work on communicating your actual value to a team, you need to recognize and understand what you are bringing to the table.” – Kimberly Brown

“Communicating your value is something that is never-ending. It's a continuous process — not that you have to always think that you're up against the clock or that you're always in this competition mode; but, it's understanding how can you continuously show up, communicate your value on a consistent basis, and contribute to the workplace in a meaningful way.” – Kimberly Brown
