Connect ADHD Coaching

Do you have a child or know a student that could use some extra support this coming school term or year? I specialise in working with students (High school Grades 10-12) who are motivated, but feel stuck, especially if there is ADHD in the back ground.

Happy ADHD Month 2024! You’ll see a ton of information about ADHD everywhere and this year I have joined in a series of interviews and talks for groups here, in the UK, US, and Hong Kong. Along with my work, there are a heap of great speakers that also participated and are well worth checking out. I will send out info over the month to let you know when and where you can find them.

To kick of the month, here are the details for something called a TADD talk for the US ADDA group.

Hi!

October is ADHD Awareness Month! You’ll see a ton of information about ADHD everywhere. But who knows what’s accurate and what’s not? ADDA knows! That’s why ADDA created the TADD Talk program.

As an adult with ADHD, you need reliable, science-based information. That’s why the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) brings you proven programming. It’s a caring community of adults with ADHD who’ve been supporting adults with ADHD for over 25 years. I’m thrilled to give one of their now-famous TADD Talks this October! I’ll be speaking about Practices in Partnership for Couples impacted by ADHD.

ADDA’s TADD Talks program brings 31 of the best experts on adult ADHD together. They invite each expert to give a “TADD” Talk. A riff on TED Talks, TADD Talks are short (half the length of a TED Talk – because, you know, ADHD!) Each talk tackles a different adult ADHD topic every day during the month of October!

This year, I’ll be giving my TADD Talk alongside experts like Sari Solden, Dr. Ari Tuckman, Linda Walker, Linda Roggli and more! Of course, I want you to listen to my TADD Talk. But you should subscribe to the whole series! Imagine! A new nugget of valuable information delivered right to you every day, all month long!

Sign up right now to receive your daily dose of TADD Talk goodness. You can check out the schedule to see when I’ll be speaking here.

OMG ! This is amazing!!!

I am feeling my identity as Australian being tarnished by those who are supposed to be representing us. Our individual identity is important to us, such as, our strengths and values. But what we are seeing in how our elite sportsmen are representing us , is a sad reflection on us...how did this happen? I was happy to put the cricket fiasco behind us and mentally forgive those who cheated last year, (until they started making money out of it),but as I watched Bernard Tomic in round one Australian Open match disengage in an opportunity to show his strengths and talents, and then to deflect accountability caused me to wonder, what are our values and motivations as a sporting nation? Yes, it's just dudes hitting or throwing a ball- not high value hero stuff (like our true heroes in doctors, nurses, firefighters, teachers, and our emergency service men and women)...but the eyes of the world are on us...what are we showing the world?

Can adults have ADHD too? Most of my clients had not been diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Often it comes as a shock at first, but then looking back over past behavioural patterns it starts to make sense. ADHD reveals itself differently in adults than in children, often in unexpected ways. Working with a qualified ADHD & Executive Function coach can help demystify ADHD and support you in reassessing your previous beliefs about yourself, and realign with your strengths and values moving forward. A diagnosis of ADHD can be a great pivot point.

Mindfulness is a huge part of how we support our clients in managing their ADHD or challenges with executive function. Dandapani doesn't actually say the word mindfulness here, but this awesome video describes it in terms of concentration- which can be very difficult in this highly distracting world that we are currently experiencing. At Connect ADHD Coaching, we focus on what our mind is thinking, what it is processing and the impact of those factors. Taking time to step out of being caught up is key. "It is better to do nothing than waste time". I heard this saying years ago, and took me a good minute or two to process its meaning. To concentrate on the words and not presume that they were the same thing. In fact, they can be very different. Or they can be the same. It depends on the focus. It distractions and focus are overwhelming you, connect with us www.connectadhd.com

I love this saying:"Even though there are days I wish I could change some things that happened in the past, there’s a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big. Where you are headed is much more important that what you have left behind". As a coach I frequently explore this notion with my amazing clients. What has happened is in the past, and we can use it as “good information moving forwards”. There is no value in looking at the past with guilt or shame, we move forward using strengths, values and information to set realistic goals and put smart systems in place. We help people just like you everyday. Check out our testimonials. Connect with us: www.connectadhd.com

Happy 2019! We are excited for 365 opportunities for a great day ahead. As coaches we can support you in creating the systems, rhythms and strategies to accomplish what you want to achieve each day.

This can be challenging with ADHD but we work with your strengths and values to achieve 365 great days this year. Connect with us www.connectadhd.com

James Clear dammit! Got some bad habits that are hard to quit? Now that I have read James Clear "Atomic Habits " from cover to cover, I can't go back to my shoddy avoidant habits!! Duohhh!!! They were sooooo comfortable...I thought....Now I know better, I have to practice my yoga every day and stop avoiding those downward dogs that haunted me every session. Now that I have learned to love the excellence that comes with awareness of repetition, repetition (so important I said it twice!) and 1% better every day...guess what? I am not hating the downward dog. (Also thanks to awesome "Yoga with Adriene"- a must for the home yoga devotee) .My thought "habits" have lost their power. And....I feel better....What thought habit would you like to quit? What's the first step? Care to share?
