ADHD, Imposter Syndrome & Hidden Cognitive Strain

Join us for a conversation with Jason McDaid, founder of The 78% Club, as we explore the connection between ADHD, imposter syndrome, and Hidden Cognitive Strain - the often invisible mental and emotional effort required to keep performing while quietly struggling beneath the surface.

"I felt like the most incompetent engineer in the country, just waiting to be exposed."

ADHD, Imposter Syndrome & Hidden Cognitive Strain
📅 Tuesday, June 16 | 🕔 5 PM ET

For years, Jason built a successful career as a fire engineer while quietly believing he was about to be "found out." It wasn't until receiving an ADHD diagnosis just before turning 50 that many of his lifelong struggles finally began to make sense.

In this interactive meetup, we'll discuss the hidden mental and emotional effort many people expend trying to keep up appearances, compensate for challenges, and avoid being exposed as "not good enough."

💙 What we'll explore:
✅ The connection between ADHD and imposter syndrome
✅ Why successful people often struggle with self-doubt
✅ The concept of Hidden CognitiveStrain and how it shows up in everyday life
✅ The emotional impact of late ADHD diagnosis
✅ Coping, masking, perfectionism, and overcompensation
✅ Practical insights for anyone who feels they're working harder than everyone else just to stay afloat

Whether you have ADHD, support someone who does, or simply relate to feelings of self-doubt despite outward success, this session offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect with others who understand.

We hope you'll join us.
