Featuring Richard Campbell
What does brave leadership look like when your brain feels like a “bowl of soup”?
In this video, I speak with Richard Campbell, radio producer and manager, who lives with what he thinks is undiagnosed ADD (now called Inattentive ADHD) and Dyslexia.
He shares what it’s like to:
Live inside a neurodivergent mind
Use prayer, lists, and reflection to stay grounded
Balance people-pleasing with principled conflict
Build teams, stay resilient, and make a real impact
Lead without control—and without duplicity
Lead with integrity, and deep authenticity
Richard’s one-of-a-kind leadership changes people’s lives quietly but powerfully. He reminds us that bravery isn’t about being real - it doesn't have to be perfect.
Please note, at the time of recording this interview, Richard was working for CMH but has since changed roles.
If this conversation resonates with your own leadership journey, I’d love to support you.
I offer:
Reflective Supervision for people in leadership, ministry, and people-helping roles
Executive Coaching for leaders navigating complexity or growth
Workshops for teams on topics such as Healthy Leadership Mindsets
Organisation-wide consulting to embed healthy leadership practices and culture
Specialist support for neurodiverse leaders, e.g. workplace assessments for individuals with ADHD and Autism
Know someone this might help?
Please feel free to forward this video to a colleague or friend who could benefit from this encouragement and support.
Don't go it alone.
With kindness and bravery,
Kathryn Martens
