The ADHD RE-Focus Podcast hosted by Angela Stephens interviews CEO's, Sr Execs, ADHD Coaches, Presidents, Surgeons, etc. on how they FOCUS when they face adversity. https://www.refocuswithangela.com Think of it this way: If a Surgeon will be performing surgery on your loved one, you want that Surgeon to have "Game On" - however we are all human. If that surgeon gets a call, finds out he is facing a lawsuit, or his head Nurse is leaving, or has issues at home or the school calls, they may get frazzled. You want that Surgeon to have "Game On" So how does that Surgeon FOCUS? We want to know...and so do many others. This Podcast is for anyone who wants to FOCUS better. Angela Stephens is the CEO & Co-Founder for RE-FOCUS THE CREATIVE OFFICE https://www.time2refocus.com As a single Mother to a child with ADHD for ten years, she noticed that he was struggling in school and in life. She realized she had to start looking "through his eyes..." and created products that didn't exist. Today he is 23 living on his own and thriving.

In a very special episode of RE-Focus, Angela is joined by her mother Martha to talk about the difficult times their family has faced, and how they continue to move forward despite tragedy. Their conversation is a powerful reminder of what it means to be a mother, daughter, and parent, and why you should always have good relationships with your family!
Angela is joined by keynote speaker and author Dr. Jessica Kriegel to explore what it takes to lead in today's world. From the myth of traditional change management to the hidden power of employee beliefs, Jessica challenges leaders at every level to ditch the "action trap" and start building cultures that are genuinely aligned with strategy. Jessica shares why only 25% of C-suite leaders can name their company's top three goals, and how fixing that one thing can transform your results. Plus, she gives the real talk on public speaking nerves, keynoting to rooms of 1,000, and the reset-button playlist that gets her in the zone.
Angela Stephens sits down with author, speaker, and Wiseman Group partner Shawn Vanderhoven to explore what it really takes to lead brilliant work in an overwhelming, hyper-connected world. Shawn shares his personal morning ritual for creating focus, and the core ideas behind the Wiseman Group's leadership philosophy inspired by Liz Wiseman's book Multipliers. He explains why so many people feel like "butter spread over too much bread," and how great leaders combat that by creating space for focus, not adding more noise. Shawn reveals key insights from his six-year research project and upcoming book "Pause: How to Lead Brilliant Work in a Busy World," including the difference between a bias for impact and a bias for action, how to avoid "chasing shiny objects" in growing businesses, and why exposing hidden workloads and keeping growth on the agenda are essential leadership practices.
The E-mail Sanity Expert Randy Dean joins Angela to tackle inbox overload and everyday focus. Randy explains his pragmatic system for managing email (including the "done for now" folder and "Ohio – Only Handle It Once"), how to avoid rereading messages multiple times, and why your calendar—not your inbox—should drive your day. They also talk about strategic time blocking, fighting "faux productivity," and simple routines that help busy professionals, parents, and students protect time for what matters most. Randy shares how to build a 3–5 minute morning ritual around your calendar and task list, plus a few personal stories about parenting, becoming an empty nester, and the music (including Noah Kahan) that helps him get into flow.
Angela is joined by Professor Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London and author of Disaster by Choice, to explore how disasters and health intersect in our everyday lives. Drawing on examples from the COVID-19 pandemic to earthquakes, floods, and wildfires, Ilan explains why "prevention is better than cure," what individuals can realistically do to prepare (like assembling a "go bag" and planning for sheltering in place) and how inequality and lack of resources make true preparedness impossible for many.

Angela talks with Dani Dotterosa, a Benefit Auctioneer and gala fundraising consultant, about how to turn stressful nonprofit and school events into high-ROI fundraisers. Dani explains why you should treat your gala like the Super Bowl, how to separate "offense" (fundraising strategy) from "defense" (event logistics), and why ambiguity kills volunteer engagement and donations. She shares practical tips for getting better auction items, motivating busy parents and volunteers, setting budgets for first-time events, and building a "pure profit iceberg" with sponsors, matches, and paddle raisers. Dani also gives a peek into her unique background in iridology and how she creatively donates iris-reading parties to boost gala revenue. Learn more at her website AuctionsByDani.com!

She shares practical tools (including website builders, branding helpers, and voice-to-text productivity apps), plus her own ADHD-friendly routines for staying focused, managing time, and avoiding AI rabbit holes. If you've been curious about using AI to grow your business—but feel overwhelmed—this conversation will show you where to start and how to make AI work for you.
