Carol Vincie is a trailblazing entrepreneur who started her first business at 16 and went on to break barriers during her 25 years at IBM. She later launched two successful businesses and helped secure $15M in funding during the Dot-com boom. Fueled by her undiagnosed ADD, Carol’s risk-taking, creativity, and vision have defined her journey—and now, she shares her story to inspire others to embrace their unique strengths. When most people think of ADD/ADHD, they picture a restless boy who can't sit still or pay attention. But for girls, the signs often go unnoticed. They're quiet, daydreamy, emotionally overwhelmed, and slip through the cracks. In fact, the sources used by medical professionals to diagnose ADD/ADHD were designed with boys under 12 in mind. Most women in the U.S. aren't diagnosed until around age 39. This plays havoc with a girl’s self-esteem and psyche. Teen girls in the US are engulfed in a wave of sadness, violence, depression and trauma, often leading to self-harm, even suicide, according to a report from the CDC.
