It's not always easy progressing your career with confidence when you think you're different, but in my experience, your weaknesses can be your strengths #strongwhenwebelong

Very inspiring read. As someone who feels blessed to have worked with you, I for one am so happy nothing stood in the way of your success. Thanks for continuing to be an inspirational leader and giving so much to those who work with you.

Lovely sharing, Norman. I feel a certain kindred connection as someone who was a "hyperactive" child and now understands the very real diagnosis of ADHD and all the coping mechanisms I have developed over my career. And admitting to imposter syndrome at the board level is quite refreshing in this day and age of over-confidence and "fake it till you make it" ethos. Thanks.

Thanks so much for sharing your story and being vulnerable- as that is the biggest strength. This gives people around the opening to be “them”.

Norman, an incredibly helpful message for so many people who’s talent and potential is held back by self doubt and the importance of helping people discover and nurture their unique super powers.

Very moving Norman. Thanks for sharing and I’m sure it is the self development of your coping strategies that made you who you are. Would you have had the same stellar career if you had been diagnosed much earlier? - maybe you’d have been a rocket scientist or a rock star with a platinum disc? Who knows?!

What a great and inspiring piece that you have written. What I love most is how you as a well respected leader will help so many others with your story.
