ADHD Weekly Podcast – Information, advice and experience to help you Thrive with ADHD. Play to your strengths!

In this episode Coach Jay Carter and Coach Robb Garrett talk about the foundations of how to have a great life with ADHD. Rob Garrett and I are both ADHD coaches in the Minneapolis St. Paul area. We often collaborate in various projects around creating awareness around ADHD, particularly in the corporate world.

I was recently interviewed on local CBS news station about ADHD in adults and about ADHD coaching as a part of the total treatment package. Here’s a link to the video of that interview. In this interview they took the 45 minutes of footage that they took with my client and myself and condensed it down to about 3 minutes.

A lot of people saw that interview, but it didn’t really give them enough information to know what the next steps are. Rob and I created a class called the basics of ADHD which was a free 90 min. class to provide a little more information. You can find a the recording of that class here.

With a 90 minute class we are able to go little more in depth into some of the different areas but we felt that a little more was needed. We are offering a five week class that will be offered each Thursday night beginning April 26th at 7 PM Central and will meet each Thursday night through May 24th. As I release this podcast, the class will be this coming Thursday. So if you’re interested, you’ll want to sign up right away. If the class is already started, you can still sign up and have access to the recordings of any classes that already happened and can join the rest of them in progress. All people who sign up for the class will have access to the records afterwards. After May 24 recordings will be available for purchase on my website.

To Register for the class go to Foundations or go straight to the registration page at Eventbrite.

In this conversation that you’re about to hear with Rob and I talk about the subjects of the different weeks of the class but do it in the context of things that we wish we had known early on in our journey with ADHD.

In this episode, Jay interviews Dr. Steve Levinson the inventor of the Motivaider. Good habits are often hard to create because as ADHDers we often don’t think of the thing we wanted to change at the time we can change it. The Motivaider is a great tool to help us bring awareness to what has our attention.

The Motivaider is a small pager like device that can be easily programmed to provide a gentle private reminder through a vibration that only you can detect. The device is small enough to fit in a pocket and also comes with a clip for a belt.

I also mentioned that I will be talking about ADHD Coaching on WCCO Channel 4, the CBS affiliate in the Twin Cities Minnesota area. This will probably happen the week of November 7, 2011.

You know there is a lot of stigma associated with ADHD and the antidote for stigma is Awareness. There’s a new site out that is really awesome it’s call the ADHD Heroes Project. It features stories about people with ADHD who have succeeded and can be an inspiration to others. We all need more stories. Check it out!

I’d love your feedback here as a comment. You can also call the 24 hour feedback line at 650 – ASK ADHD or 275-2343. Contact us by email at feedback@adhdweekly.com to leave feedback or to request a copy of my goal setting document.
