Best Jobs for ADHD Brain: Finding Your Ideal Work Environment

  • August 05, 2025
  • 12:00 PM
  • ADDitude Webinar

Career misalignment happens when your job doesn’t match your interests and skills. It’s easy to spot but seldom simple to remedy. Some workers with ADHD are confined to roles involving tedious, brain-numbing tasks, but they may feel under-equipped to take on more engaging jobs. Others may have supervisors who overlook their needs and strengths, leading to frustration, underperformance, and lingering feelings of being unfulfilled.

But what if you could find an environment that actually nurtures your ADHD brain and professional growth? What if you could better understand how your natural strengths, personality, and interests can lead to and shape a career that feels deeply satisfying?

In this webinar, ADHD expert Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D., and ADHD career coach Bruce Hughes will guide you through a proven process for discovering your ideal work environment. Drawing from years of clinical and coaching experience, they’ll share practical strategies to help you identify your strengths, skills, and talent—and the jobs and environments best suited to your ADHD brain.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How to use personality tests, interest assessments, and ability assessments to pinpoint your strengths and ideal work
  • How to recognize common workplace mismatches and identify roles to avoid
  • Why career satisfaction depends on knowing yourself, including co-occurring conditions like anxietydyslexia, and/or autism
  • How to shape your current job to better fit your interests, strengths, and executive functioning needs
  • How to leverage supports like accommodations, flexible hours, and post-pandemic work models that are better suited for ADHD brains
  • About client case studies where self-understanding led to major career breakthroughs
  • How career coaching can help you move from stuck to satisfied in a work life that fits with your interests.
