Where the Real Shift Starts: 5 Fixes for ADHD Professionals
Why Cohesion matters
ADHD makes everything heavier.
Even the small stuff people say “should be easy,” and if you carry that weight long enough, you start thinking it’s you.
That the inbox backlog, missed follow-ups, and messy LinkedIn profile are proof you’re not “professional enough.”
But I’ve seen this play out with client after client in Momentum: that heaviness isn’t a flaw. It’s what happens when your brain’s running in a setup it was never built for.
The cost of the wrong container
When the container doesn’t fit, every task costs more: more energy, more focus, more frustration.
The minute we swap out the container, shoulders drop. Breathing changes.
This is why week three of Momentum is all about Cohesion. It’s the first real work we do to unify your messaging across your resume, LinkedIn, and anywhere else you’re showing up.
That alignment changes how you feel and how others read you. It embeds a deeper confidence in how you’re positioned and strips away the friction between where you are and where you’re heading.
5 fixes we use in Cohesion
By the time we move into week three, you already know where you’re headed.
Now we refine how you’re showing up so the expertise you already have comes through clearly, no matter where someone finds you.
Here’s what we tackle:
1. Clear, consistent positioning
When your resume says one thing and your LinkedIn says another, you’re making the reader do extra work to figure you out. Most won’t bother. We lock both into the same lane so your story reads the same wherever they find you.
Both tell the same story about where you’re headed
Keywords and language line up across both
No stray details that make people guess what you do
2. Resume that pulls the reader in
A resume that buries the good stuff or makes the reader hunt for it will get skimmed and skipped. We rebuild it so the most important things are impossible to miss and every section earns its place.
Lead with proof you can do the job
Keep the layout clean so it’s easy to scan
Cut the “responsible for” filler that says nothing
3. A LinkedIn profile built for impact
Most profiles read like a patchwork of updates over the years, with no clear through-line. We rebuild yours top to bottom so the banner, headline, About section, and Experience entries work together and keep the reader scrolling.
Banner and headline are aligned so your value is clear in seconds
About and Experience are written for what’s next, not just what’s now
Skills section reinforces the roles you want to be found for
4. Personal brand voice alignment
If your tone changes from one platform to another, people don’t know which version is the real you. We make sure you sound like the same person everywhere, so you’re remembered for the right things.
Resume tone matches your LinkedIn tone
Language is straightforward and human
No mixed signals in how you come across
5. Confidence reset
Old job search habits and career knocks can leave you second-guessing how you talk about your work. We retrain that so you stop leaning on outdated stories or underselling yourself.
Call out the bottlenecks holding you back
Replace them with language you can actually say out loud without cringing
Leave with a way to talk about yourself that feels true and strong
The point isn’t polish
It’s about being seen for the value you already have, without having to overcompensate or keep up a front.
The right tools make that possible. The right system makes it easy to keep showing up.
When your work matches the way your brain works, there’s no act to maintain. You’re simply there, doing the work, and the weight you’ve been carrying starts to lift.
Keep going, you’re closer than you think.
