I am the host, producer, and founder of ADHD Wise Squirrels, an ADHD podcast, resource, and community hyper-focused on helping late-diagnosed adults with ADHD (wise squirrels) navigate life, remove stigmas, and celebrate our diversity with keynote presentations, coaching, articles, resources, and our popular ADHD podcast ADHD Wise Squirrels at https://wisesquirrels.com.An estimated 6% of U.S. adults—around 15.5 million—have ADHD, with global prevalence ranging from 2% to 5%. Symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity can be challenging, but they also come with unique strengths. If you've recently been diagnosed with ADHD, you might relate to squirrels—energetic, impulsive, hyperfocused, creative, and resourceful, but sometimes forgetful and unplanned. Like squirrels, people with ADHD adapt and thrive, often learning to turn their challenges into strengths over time.As adults, we’ve built careers, families, and lives through wisdom gained from experience. ADHD presents challenges but offers opportunities to embrace our creativity, resilience, and unique perspectives.Wise Squirrels is a supportive community for neurodivergent adults to connect, learn, and grow. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges and celebrate its successes. 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿·𝗿𝗲𝗹 - /𝘄ī𝘇/ ˈ𝘀𝗸𝘄ə𝗿(ə)𝗹/ - 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻A Wise Squirrel is an adult diagnosed with ADHD later in life. Wise comes from the wisdom they have gained surviving and thriving in a neurotypical world without knowing they developed coping methods to help them succeed. Squirrel comes from the often ADHD-referenced distracted dog meme "Squirrel!" by Dug the Dog from the movie "UP."

"People love his workshop facilitation. He knows his stuff... If you have an opportunity to work together, it will be worth it." - Anastasia Kudrez, Lead Educator for Grow with Google.As a renowned keynote speaker, communications expert, and workshop facilitator, I've had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Google. The tech giant recognized the need for effective communication and education surrounding their innovative products, such as Google Business Profiles, YouTube, Google Ads, and Google Analytics, as well as critical topics like content marketing and search engine optimization (SEO). These complex subjects can often leave people feeling overwhelmed and bewildered, necessitating the guidance of a skilled communicator and educator. In response to this challenge, Google entrusted me to lead presentations and training sessions to impart best practices. My affiliation with Google as a Grow with Google Speaker began in 2017 when I had the honor of representing their brand, empowering and enlightening thousands of individuals across the US and Canada.One of the highlights was being appointed as the head trainer for six flagship events held across Canada, where I helped a thousand eager learners. My journey with Google also entailed the privilege of training their own trainers, employing impactful train-the-trainer sessions to enhance their communication and presentation skills.With a proven track record of delivering transformative workshops, commanding the stage as a keynote speaker, and being entrusted by Google to impart knowledge and expertise, I continue to share my knowledge with Futureforth clients. Through my partnership with Google, I remain steadfast in my commitment to empowering individuals and businesses, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in today's digital age. Working together with me promises to be an invaluable and worthwhile experience, leaving a lasting impression on all who participate.
