    2023/08/16

    In today’s episode, your host Kimberly is joined by Alexandra Gilbert, CEO of consulting and coaching business Cape-Able Consulting LLC, a consulting agency created to help people with ADHD or learning disabilities struggling in their careers to reach their highest potential in the workplace. 

    Alexandra talks about the indicators of ADHD, navigating diagnoses and treatments for learning disabilities, whether or not to self-disclose your disability in the workplace, and best practices in the workplace to support individuals with learning disabilities. She also shares her ADHD and Dyslexia Diagnoses early on as a child and how those experiences have shifted and evolved as she moved into adulthood and into the workplace. 

    Join in on this unique conversation with Kimberly & Alexandra and find out how you can create a thriving and equitable workplace for yourself and those around you. 

     

    KEY POINTS:

    - What are the indicators of ADHD? 

    - Types of ADHD: Inattentive, Hyperactive, and Combined

    - Alexandra’s Dyslexia & ADHD story 

    - Should you self-disclose your learning disability in the workplace?

    - Unmasking at home and in the workplace 

    - Key identifiers of learning disability as an adult 

    - How to effectively identify your strengths 

    - Best principles vs best practices for ADHD in the workplace

     

    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

  • EP93: How to Give & Receive Effective Feedback
    2023/07/26

    Feedback is one of the most crucial things you need to be able to give and receive in the workplace, and yet it is one of the biggest things people are afraid to do in the workplace! 

    Fear not, because in this episode, Kimberly will be talking about the basic steps of effective feedback, the different ways to communicate your feedback, and the things to be mindful of before you decide to offer someone your feedback in the workplace.

What's important is that people are in the know.”

    “Sometimes, feedback needs to be communicated through several different channels. Not every piece of feedback has to be attributed to the person. It can be generalized feedback.”

    Now, entrepreneurship may seem like the more appealing end of the stick - that laptop culture and freedom lifestyle are all the craze right now. But there are also many incredible things that the path of intrapreneurship brings! As Kimberly has had the best of both worlds for 10 years, she will be sharing her own personal insights and perspectives on both paths, the traits you need to succeed in regardless of what you pick, and the things you should consider when deciding if you’re an intrapreneur or entrepreneur. 

    Whether you’re building a career or starting your own business (or both!) - this episode is for you. Tune in and find which of the two paths aligns most with you!
