ADHD – What I have learnt? As we come to the end of ADHD awareness month, I thought it would be appropriate to share a little about my awareness of ADHD. Unless you have ADHD yourself or someone you are close to does, it can be hard to understand that it’s a mercurial condition which shows up differently for all. It ebbs and flows bringing wonderful highs and scary lows. Earlier this year, I qualified as an ADHD coach with the amazing Leanne Maskell at ADHD works. In my group of 16, I was one of only two ‘neurotypical’ delegates. As well as learning some fabulous tools to help ADHDers, I came away 1) knowing what it felt like to be the different one – I was conscious that my brain was working differently to most of the others in the room 2) filled with hope. The sessions were noisy, passionate, purposeful and quite brilliant. Spending time with a room full of ADHDers was quite something - our conversations we insightful, inspiring and different. The creativity was visceral. I am so lucky to have learnt about ADHD and now know so much more about how to help ADHDers navigate the ebbs and flows. I hope that understanding more about ADHD will help me to help others. What are you doing to learn about others this year?

🌟 BECOME YOUR OWN ADHD COACH.... 🌟 What happens in an ADHD brain when we go to achieve a goal or bring an idea to life?? 'I'll start tomorrow ' 'I'll start when I have XX' 'I don't have time to do it' ' I can't be bothered' ' I don't know where to start' A quick way to reframe that ADHD Negative Bias? 🔻 TURN YOUR STATEMENT INTO A QUESTION 🔺 👉 What do I need to do today to make this happen tomorrow? 👉How can I step forward with imperfect action? 👉How do I make more time to do this task? 👉What will give me the motivation to complete my task? 👉Who can support me in breaking down the steps? This was one of the biggest take aways from my Monday Night Group Coaching session and here is why... 🧠 A STATEMENT ( which shuts down your brain) 🧠 A QUESTION ( which opens up your brain to possibilities) Curiosity is at the heart of ADHD coaching and makes coaching SO effective; there is so much POWER in a simple question.
