ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Full Show Notes:https://sociallyausome.com/post/adhd-scripts-work-stop-apologizing
How many times have you apologized today for something that didn't actually require an apology?
“Sorry, can you repeat that?”
“Sorry, I need that in writing.”
“Sorry, I have one more question.”
For adults with ADHD, asking for clarity can feel like admitting failure. So we apologize, overexplain, mask our struggles, and push ourselves until we're exhausted.
But needing a different way to work doesn't mean you're bad at your job.
In Episode 227 of The ADHD CEO, Alyece Smith shares five practical scripts to help you communicate your needs at work without unnecessary apologies.
In this episode:
How to ask for written instructions without feeling incompetent
What to say when every task feels urgent
How to respond when your brain goes blank during a meeting
How to take accountability without tearing yourself down
How to ask for focus time or a different workflow
What to do when someone pushes back on your request
One sentence to remember:
“Here's what helps me do my best work.”
Your challenge this week? Catch yourself apologizing for something you need. Replace that apology with one clear request.
