ADHD, Efficiency, and Growing Landscape Teams with LeanScaper’s Kristen Kiely

Hiring, leading, and keeping your team focused is one of the toughest parts of growing a landscaping company. Add in the unique challenges of ADHD and neurodivergence, and it can feel overwhelming. 

But what if those differences could actually be a strength in your company?

In this episode of The Landscaper’s Guide, Jack Jostes interviews LeanScaper Chief Customer Experience Officer Kristen Kiely. Kristen has nearly a decade of industry experience with LMN, The Grounds Guys, and now LeanScaper, and her husband runs a $5M design-build and snow company in Toronto. 

She shares how neurodivergence, structure, and operational systems can actually fuel growth for landscaping companies.

You’ll discover:

• Why ADHD and neurodivergence can be a superpower in the landscape industry
• How tools like calendaring, nutrition, and routines improve focus and leadership
• Why efficient operations and financial discipline drive profitability and scalability

Whether you’re managing a $2M company or pushing past $10M, this episode will help you think differently about your team and your growth.
