Speaking
Athletes, physicians, leaders, and the people who run the places they work. I'm a psychiatrist, so the talks are about what performance actually costs and what keeps people well enough to keep doing it.
Most of what people know about adult ADHD arrived in sixty-second clips. This is the rest: what an assessment actually weighs, why a score can't explain why starting is hard, and what changes when work is designed around a real brain.
What a stuck brain is doing, why pressure narrows the options, and how people and teams get them back.
I build clinical AI and I practise psychiatry, so I hold both sides of this. Where software genuinely helps, where the claims outrun the evidence, and why judgment and responsibility stay human.
What high standards do to the people meeting them, and how the best environments keep candour, safety and expectation in the same room. From the book, and from years inside professional sport.
Whether the information that matters, the mistakes, the doubt, the dissent, reaches the people who need it while there's still time to act. And what leaders do that speeds it up or shuts it down.
