  • Project Management for ADHD’ers

    WordCamp Rochester 2024Speaker: Shanta R. Nathwani

    November 13, 2024 — Most recently, I’ve discovered I have a different way of doing Project Management than my colleagues. I also look at data differently and while I’m really good with it It takes me a long time to find that groove, But once I do, good luck in getting me off that track. Having ADHD and being in Project Management can be a blessing or a curse but if you can find the nexus between the two, watch us soar.
    It’s not always easy working with us and sometimes we make it really difficult. Just know that we have the best interests of the project (and those around us) at heart.
