ADHD: Exactly What Is a Strength?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is diagnosed based on appearance. There’s a dog’s breakfast of symptoms that people judge in order to apply the label. Often it’s very confusing. Same goes with a strength. What is a strength? Is it a gift, a talent, a skill? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper talks with Michelle Raz (http://www.razcoaching.com) to put a strength into a context everyone can understand. Together, they discuss the elements of a strength and what to look for and they reveal how to cast yourself. If you’re struggling with the ambiguity of definitions of things like strengths, talents, and gifts, this is a show that must be on your calendar, so be prepared to take notes.
