I help leaders w/ADHD execute ferociously to increase results. I write about the habits, techniques, and science that transforms chaotic overwhelm to calm effective execution. 💪 🔥🚀

I’ve built and sold companies.
Sold millions to countless Fortune 500 brands. 
Led teams to the Inc. 500 — twice.
Hired and managed dozens of people. 

But none of that compares to what I do now.

Because for most of my career, I looked successful on paper… while silently battling chaos behind the scenes.

As a founder with ADHD, 
I lived in cycles of burnout, 
inconsistency, 
and confusion. 

I knew I had potential but I couldn’t access it consistently.
And I couldn’t lead the way I wanted to.

That realization was that my brain wasn’t broken, just wired differently, changed everything.

I went deep: therapy, coaching, performance frameworks, behavioral science.
And rebuilt my life from the inside out.

Now, I run Accountable, a coaching platform and community for visionary founders who want to scale with structure, lead with clarity, and operate at their full capacity.

I help founders break the cycles holding them back:

⛔ Overwhelm, distraction, and emotional reactivity
⛔ Team misalignment, conflict, or delegation struggles
⛔ Constant firefighting and decision fatigue

And instead build:

✅ Calm, confident leadership
✅ Clear systems for execution and delegation
✅ Habits that drive focus, momentum, and scale

If you're a startup founder who knows you're capable of more — but can’t seem to unlock it — I’d love to connect.

Because when you shift your internal operating system, everything else follows.

DM me. 

Let’s talk.

Ian Tenenbaum

ADHD brains don’t follow the rules - they reinvent them.
Creativity doesn’t wait for focus. It bursts out of chaos.

Your mind zigzags, connects impossible dots, and sees ideas others miss.
That’s why ADHD people create work that feels alive, bold, and unforgettable.

Ideas often come in the middle of movement - a walk, a song, a messy desk, or even while you’re procrastinating.
The secret isn’t stopping the chaos - it’s harnessing it.

The trick? Catch the spark immediately.

Keep a notebook. 
Record voice memos. 
Sketch messy ideas.

One small action can turn a flash of inspiration into a masterpiece.

ADHD isn’t a limitation.

It’s a creative engine fueled by curiosity, energy, and unexpected connections.
When you embrace your unique attention patterns, hyperfocus becomes a superpower, turning scattered thoughts into projects that shine.

And don’t forget the magic of iteration:
 
Let messy ideas grow, fail, shift, and evolve.
Creativity with ADHD isn’t linear - it’s explosive, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

Sales and Promotions Manager

As a marketing executive with deep roots in sales leadership, I understand the interconnected challenges marketing and sales leaders face today. My passion lies in partnering with leaders to build the essential foundations for sustainable growth: attracting and hiring the right talent, fostering collaborative and high-performing team cultures, developing effective budgets, and creating robust backup plans to ensure operational resilience.

My approach combines strategic vision with data-driven decision-making, always focusing on the entire customer journey. This perspective has been instrumental in achieving significant results, like driving a 186% increase in new customer sales and a 300% improvement in lead generation through strong cross-functional partnerships. I leverage this experience to help other leaders optimize their teams, strategies, and operational effectiveness.

If you're focused on elevating your marketing and sales functions by strengthening your team, refining your budget strategy, or building more resilient operations, I'd welcome a connection.

Leading all digital efforts for a growing healthcare organization, while working as a positive teammate to help grow skillset and focus on key performance indicators (KPIs) and objectives and key results (OKRs).

Areas of focus: 

+ Led new website project planning and implementation. New website launched on schedule at www.raintreeinc.com.

If you see "Verizon" on a resume today, move it to the top of the pile.

Seeing layoffs in any company is difficult. But seeing them at a company where I spent nearly a decade of my career hits different. What hurts the most is seeing people I hired, promoted, and worked alongside facing this transition.

But here is the reality for any recruiter or hiring manager reading this: Verizon (corporate) employees are some of the very best in the business.

Why? Because of the rigorous training program and the culture of development that Verizon instills in its teams. It is unique, it is intense, and it builds resilience and skill.

It has been 11 years since I left, and that training still shapes my success and leadership style today.

To my former colleagues: Your skills are transferable, high-level, and in demand. To my network: If you are hiring, look at this talent pool. You won’t regret it.
