Listen "The ADHD Leader with Paul Nolan"
Episode Synopsis
Diversity and Inclusion in the PR Industry.
In this episode, PR agency leader Paul Nolan describes his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 42 - along with his whole family - and how that gave him insight into himself, how he manages his energy, responds to triggers, and his leadership style.
Paul champions his agency's blueprint diversity mark process from the BME PR Pros - something he says has been deeply transformative for the organisation.
In this episode, he talks about the challenges for organisations to create real change, how he leads, and how he thinks about his own reputation (spoiler alert: "far too much").
This is an honest, open conversation with a leader whose self-awareness makes him incredibly thoughtful about how he shows up and how he engages, motivates, and inspires his teams.
This podcast is a companion piece to Charlotte Otter's book We Need New Leaders, published on 3 June by Practical Inspiration Publishing. Find it online or in all good bookshops.
