Jacek Ambrosiewicz never truly understood why he was called "talented but lazy" by his teachers, parents, and colleagues. When he was in his twenties, he was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and many things started to make sense.
Jacek Ambrosiewicz never truly understood why he was called "talented but lazy" by his teachers, parents, and colleagues. When he was in his twenties, he was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and many things started to make sense. Jacek began therapy, learned how to use his brain for creativity, and built a career as a marketeer in companies like Ubisoft and Netflix. Afraid of social stigma, Jacek decided to hide this part of himself from the world for a long time. One day he stopped hiding and started the Mental Health ERG in the office. Last year, Jacek quit his job to promote Mental Health D&I by public speaking and creating A Typical Notion podcast. Just to stop people calling their close ones "talented but lazy." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
