UCLA Alumni Career Engagement invites Aggie alumni to join the upcoming virtual session “When Traditional Career Advice Doesn't Fit Your Brain: ADHD at Work With Kelly George” on Thursday, September 17, 2026, 12 p.m. (Pacific Time). As part of the Career Insights Series, this workshop—presented by a professional career coach—taps into the speaker's expertise in helping people make decisions and plan their career directions.
Many professionals with ADHD feel like they’re not living up to their potential at work, but aren’t always sure why. Challenges with focus, follow-through, communication and managing competing demands can impact performance, even when ability is not the issue.
This session offers a practical approach to understanding and navigating ADHD in the workplace. Participants will learn how these patterns show up day to day, how they affect productivity and collaboration, and what to do about them. It will delve into strategies for managing focus and follow-through, as well as identifying or adapting to work environments that better support how you function.
Rather than relying on generic productivity advice, this workshop will examine tools that reflect how ADHD operates in professional settings. Participants will leave with the ability to recognize how ADHD impacts their work and strategies to work with it more effectively. Whether you are formally diagnosed with ADHD, pursuing an ADHD diagnosis, supporting a loved one or colleague with ADHD, or are simply interested in learning more about this topic, this session is open to everyone.
