When Systems Fail with Clay Gill

What if feeling “zapped” isn’t a personal failure—but a signal that our systems are misaligned with how we actually function?

In this live Empathy by Design conversation, I’m joined by Clay Gill—FLOW-certified coach, AuDHD advocate, and creator of the POWER Assessment™—to explore how energy, capacity, and design intersect for neurodivergent minds.

Clay’s work helps people understand what’s fueling their energy and what’s quietly draining it, especially in environments that weren’t built with neurodivergent nervous systems in mind. Rather than pushing motivation or productivity hacks, he focuses on practical, compassionate shifts that work with your wiring.

Together, we’ll talk about:

• Why energy depletion is often a design problem, not a mindset issue
• How neurodivergent experience offers early feedback about misaligned systems
• What it looks like to design lives, workflows, and habits around real capacity
• How small, honest adjustments can restore clarity, agency, and momentum

This conversation is for anyone who’s tired of overriding their nervous system just to keep up—and curious about what becomes possible when empathy becomes a design principle, not an afterthought.
