COMING SOON: On May 26, 2026, Jeff Copper will be participating in the Enrichment Series sponsored by the ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO) on the topic, ADHD and Motivation in the Contet of an Executive Function Impairment. His presentation explores motivation through Dr. Russell Barkley’s executive function model of ADHD. Rather than viewing motivation as a single trait, he looks at it as a “two-force” system that shapes what we do (and what we avoid).
Framing motivation as part of an impairment helps explain common patterns that traditional views don’t capture. The webinar provides content on subjects that are relevant to ADHD coaches to give them a clearer lens for understanding motivation challenges in ADHD and practical implications for supporting their clients and “manufacturing” motivation. More information to be determined.
Jeff Copper appears on the ADHD-ish Podcast with host Diann Wingert. In this eye-opening interview, ADHD coach Jeff unpacks Cognitive Ergonomics (the often-missed link in understanding ADHD motivation). What if the issue isn’t laziness or lack of willpower, but the way the brain processes effort? Jeff explains why many people with ADHD can solve problems simply by saying them out loud, “downloading” their thoughts even if no one responds. That simple act reduces cognitive load and frees up executive function. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, well into your ADHD self-awareness journey, or feeling like you’ve “tried everything,” this conversation offers a radically practical lens for understanding both your struggles and your strengths. If you love intellectual deep-dives and want to explore what’s really happening under the hood, this episode will change how you think about motivation and what actually makes it work. LISTEN NOW!
Join Jeff Copper and Penny Williams on the Beautifully Complex Podcast as they talk about “Accommodations That Reduce Cognitive Load and Restore Motivation.” Motivation isn’t what we’ve been taught it is. When we misunderstand it, we accidentally shame our kids for struggling with something they can’t control. Jeff and Penny unpack motivation through the lens of executive function impairment. What if your child isn’t unmotivated at all? What if their brain simply requires more effort (more emotional cost) to produce the same outcome as their peers? LISTEN TO THIS POWERFUL CONVERSATION!
