ADHD at Senior Level: When Promotion Removes the Structure That Was Holding You Up

Deadlines, a manager, a clear brief and visible consequences are external structure, and for many people with ADHD they were doing the work of executive function. Seniority removes them. The calendar empties into open time, the deadlines become yours to set, and the capability that got you promoted appears to disappear. This session covers why competence seems to fall away at exactly the point of success, what has actually changed, and how to rebuild the scaffolding deliberately when nobody above you is providing it any more.
