Jaye Lin

Jaye Lin is an ADHD Coach, Podcaster, Community Leader, Speaker, and administrative professional.

While employed at Google, she was able to advocate for her needs to create an environment for her to thrive, even within her executive function-heavy role as an Administrative Business Partner. She effected change for ADHD and neurodiversity by co-founding and co-leading the ADHD-Women@Google employee resource group, and becoming Google’s first ADHD-trained peer coach.

In 2022, Jaye left Google to start her own ADHD coaching practice. Aside from coaching, Jaye runs an ADHD learning program that trains ADHD peer coaches for corporations, and is an Insights Discovery facilitator for neurodiverse teams. She self-produces her podcast, Now Presenting: ADHD, and is the host of the Tips from an ADHD Coach podcast on MissUnderstood: The ADHD in Women Channel through Understood.org.

Jaye is the co-founder and President of The Monoceros Initiative, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that amplifies and connects diverse voices in the ADHD space, and is the founding facilitator for the Asians with ADHD virtual peer support group through the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA).

She was a culinary school-trained restaurant and food truck owner in her early adulthood, and is working on an ADHD cookbook that leverages her culinary expertise with her compassionate understanding of ADHD difficulties with cooking.

Jaye has an experience and perspective of ADHD that differ from textbook understandings of it, due to being a former gifted child and woman in tech, and growing up as an Taiwanese-American child of immigrants. She was diagnosed with ADHD in her mid-30s, while in a role almost entirely consisting of executive function, within a high performance, highly competitive industry. She has seen first-hand, many times over, how intentional disclosure and communication about ADHD can lead to dynamic performance, higher employee retention, stronger teams, and lasting achievement.
