She is also the CEO and Founder of LollieTasking, a coaching and consulting firm that teaches high achieving, easily distracted professional women how to accomplish their goals without overwhelm or their brain sabotaging their efforts.

- How she compensated for the challenges and leveraged the strengths of her ADHD, even before getting her diagnosis
- The systems she put in place – the processes, people, structures and more -- that helped her succeed
- How she became an ADHD trained life coach to help people lean into their interests and build their own systems for success
- Why coaching that works for neurotypical people may not work for people with ADHD – and what techniques people with ADHD may want to try instead
