One of the biggest challenges with ADHD is self-awareness. So, how do you learn self-awareness? You have to look in the mind's mirror, pause, and pay attention to what you're thinking. Those with ADHD have difficulty putting on the brakes so they can have the time to discern what the best options are. Their brains run like a Ferrari engine without brakes. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we are re-releasing an interview with David Giwerc, founder and president of ADD Coach Academy (https://addca.com), to discuss the power of the pause and how it can provide you with choices that can significantly improve your quality of life. Join us for this insightful discussion. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD. Attention Talk Radio, hosted by Jeff Copper, attention and ADHD coach, is designed to help adults (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated to help them get unstuck and moving forward by opening their minds to pay attention to what works.

#46: ADHD - Paying attention to your Mindset Matters | Guest Jeff Copper

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 2, 2020 35:57

In the past few years, as I've been going through coach training and coaching professionals and entrepreneurs, I have seen a theme around the importance of paying attention to mindset as it relates to their ADHD and how they were managing it before and after hitting their tipping point. Often these adults come to me to learn how to manage their day more effectively, be more productive, and learn new tips and tricks on managing ADHD. As we start the coaching process they start to see that managing their ADHD has a lot to do with their mindset and perspective on how they respond and react to challenging situations. In this episode, I interviewed Jeff Copper - ADHD coach, who has a few insights on why it is so important to pay attention to our mindset first before we dig into the tactical things. He talks about the struggle that some will have around their ADHD diagnosis such as, who they are and who they were supposed to be. In this conversation, Jeff said, “Let's open up our mind and change our mindset and not define it to be a specific way.” this is such a powerful statement as it relates to the diagnosis of ADHD, we can choose to focus on the possibilities of the unique brain wiring instead of creating tension and stress on focusing on the things we have a hard time with. I invite you to listen to this episode with an open mind and listen for opportunities where you can experience a shift in mindset as Jeff explains his approach to managing ADHD. Did You Know - related to this topic, I use a tool with my clients to actually measure their level of perspective and how they see the world and react to circumstances. This measurable self-awareness tool is a game-changer for many of my clients, it empowers them to shift to an optimal mindset and a new perspective on how they react and respond to stress and overwhelm. ~ Currently, this assessment is on a special rate - find out more. In 2018, Forbes Coaches Council recognized it as one of the “11 assessments every executive should take.” About Jeff Copper: Email: jeff@digcoaching.com | Website: www.digcoaching.com Jeff Copper, MBA, PCC, PCAC, CPCC, ACG, is an attention coach and expert on attention issues. He is founder of DIG Coaching Practice and founder/host of Attention Talk Radio and Attention Talk Video.

Those with ADHD know what to do, but the challenge is in executing. In this third interview of a 3-part series on ADHD and emotions, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) shares an excerpt of an interview done years ago with Stacey in a moment when she was witnessing the challenges of self-regulation. Master Certified Coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com), founder of ADD Coach Academy, joins Jeff to discuss the fundamental process used to help individuals manage emotions. They pull from past interviews with Roger Dewitt, Autumn Zitani of Sesame Street, and Melissa Orlov to illustrate the consistent pattern or process found to be effective. They acknowledge how hard emotional self-regulation is for those with ADHD as a means of respect so as not to minimize the need or the challenges, but at the same time to give hope!
