Join Jeff Copper for his presentation, Motivation Redefined: Aha! Now I get it!, for the ADDA Webinar on August 26, 2026.  Motivation is an emotional topic.  It is judged subjectively.  Those with ADHD are often accused of being unmotivated.  That is simply not true. The fact of the matter is that those with ADHD are highly motivated. The problem is on one consideration the impact of executive functioning impairment when the judge people with ADHD. In this webinar we’ll rewrite your understanding of motivation by defining it as an extension of Dr. Russell Barkley’s work to account for the impairment.  This new lens reveals motivational truths hidden in plain sight and points toward a new future of relief and productivity! Understand the impact of executive functioning impairments to change the way we judge motivation and ways to provide relief to impairments that impact productivity, as well as realizing motivation is something you can engineer.

In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro talks with ADHD coach Jeff Copper for a powerful conversation about motivation, executive function, and “adaptive accommodations.” Jeff challenges the idea that people with ADHD are lazy or unmotivated, explaining that ADHD is an executive functioning impairment, and that many are working harder, not less. Together, they explore why traditional supports like “extra time” often miss the mark and why reducing cognitive strain through verbal processing, cueing, and collaboration can be far more effective. This episode offers a compassionate, neuroscience-based lens that replaces shame with practical, meaningful support.  LISTEN NOW!
