Starting Over, and Over and Over...
Coaching Adults with ADHD can be a pretty weird job, when I have ADHD myself. I am often only too familiar with the struggles and challenges my clients discuss, they may manage certain aspects of their ADHD far better than me and employ approaches and strategies that I have not mastered myself. Sometimes it is a wonder that we both turn up at the right time and place for a session!
Favorite Books on ADHD
A few of my Favorite Books on ADHD
Here's a list of some of my favorite books on ADHD:
Action Coaching
The primary problem listed by Adults with ADHD in surveys is procrastination. But this is not a simple issue of motivation or of understanding, it is an issue of doing. Traditional therapy and coaching that focus on motivation and planning simply don't work, or work for a weeek or two only. People living with ADD struggle with forgetfulness, planning, activation and in doing what is interesting not what is important.
ADD and Loving It?!
I recently recommended this fantastic documentary in my Newsletter, but wanted to mention it here too. If you have forty minutes to spare do yourself a big favour and watch ADD & Loving It?! Shown on Canadian Global TV, the film stars comedian Patrick McKenna as he confirms his long-suspected ADHD.
Doing Things
As an ADHD coach, I often work with clients who know what they want to do but just don't do it. These clients understand perfectly well how to plan and manage their time. They know what is important and what isn't. Yet they get up day after day and fail to plan, fail to review, fail to take action, fail to achieve their goals. They know why and what they need to, yet do not change.

ADHD Opposites
Many of the wiser scientists and researchers define ADD as a dis-regulation of attention, which comes close but not close enough to a definition I hope for. I see people with ADD as being neurologically "less-controlled", which is not necessarily a bad thing. This lesser control of the brain means a much wider variation in which parts of the bain are dominant, which parts are more active and which parts are under-active.
