Often, I hear clients say, “I just need to pick up the phone, sit down and write, stick to my schedule,” etc., but they don’t follow through. My guess is, if it was as simple as taking the next obvious step, they would have done it by now. At this point I usually ask them to pause and reflect on what’s holding them back. What’s hard about what they’re trying to accomplish?
Having an ADHD child and navigating through the health care and educational institutions is no easy feat. It takes great patience to get a proper diagnosis, get the right medication, and start over every year to reeducate the school system on your child’s unique issues. It also requires advocacy and the ability to listen to your intuition or gut instincts to stand up to the pseudo-experts and argue on behalf of your child. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) has an interview with an anonymous parent who has navigated the system, being beaten up by it but still finding success. If you can relate to the struggle of advocating in institutions against the experts, learn more in this interview.

Getting a diagnosis of ADHD can be a good thing and a bad thing. It is a good thing because the individual becomes eligible for accommodations and can take stimulant medications to level the playing field. The bad thing about the diagnosis is that, once labeled, people quit paying attention to individual differences in ADHD.
Officially, the Diagnostic Statistics Manual is used to diagnose ADHD, and from time to time, the manual is updated based on current research or updated best practices consensus. Currently we are on the DSM-5 version. Continue reading “Which Version of ADHD Do You Have?”

There are all kinds of coaches, such as life coaches, personal coaches, and executive coaches. I consider myself an attention coach, and my number one goal is to help individuals and businesses pay attention to the right thing…. because if you’re paying attention to the wrong thing, you’re likely paying attention to, or looking for, the wrong solution.
