Jake Reisch, a 2024 Hoffman Process graduate, is passionate about building impactful companies from the ground up. He's also an authentic speaker and storyteller, as you'll hear in this conversation with Jake and Sadie. At the heart of Jake's story is authenticity, courage, and a willingness to stay present to himself. At the start, Sadie asks Jake to share his bio - a seemingly quick and easy task. In Jake's case, though, he has realized that his bio and how he shares about himself and his life have radically changed since his time at the Hoffman Process. It was after completing the Process that things started to click for Jake. He found he could witness his patterns in real-time and consciously make different choices in his daily life. At one point, as he shares, he found himself publicly speaking about his experience in childhood. He told his audience about his mistakes when he was young and his successes as an adult, building very successful startups. Both were, and are, true. Jake then told his audience that in his successes, he'd been "leaning into the gifts that he was given that he just didn't know how to use when he was younger." Jake was able to share publicly all of himself and his history. He's found that sharing hard things with others permits them to share their hard things, too. That's how deep relationships become possible. One more thing about today's episode: as mentioned, Sadie Hannah, Hoffman teacher and coach, hosts this conversation with Jake. Sadie is our newest Hoffman Podcast host. She and Drew will share the role of host moving forward. Congratulations, Sadie! Thank you, Jake, for telling us your whole story. We hope you enjoy this authentic and intimate conversation with Jake and Sadie. More about Jake Reisch: Jake is a Forbes 30 Under 30 startup founder with a passion for building impactful companies from the ground up. He is currently the Executive Director at the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction while actively coaching and investing in high-potential, impact-oriented startup CEOs. He completed the Hoffman Process in March 2024. Jake currently lives in Panama City, Panama, with his wife Isabella and small dog Barry. Follow Jake on Instagram and LinkedIn.

Dave and Bethlie are BACK!  In today's episode Dave and Bethlie tackle a very important question from a listener about how to train a 3 year old with a big imagination to not lie.   Later on in the episode Dave and Bethlie begin their series on raising a child with special needs. Thanks for joining us and enjoy this episode!   Question from a listener Would you be able to share tips on how to train a 3 year old who has a beautiful imagination on lying. We do a lot of pretend/imagination play, but I want him to also understand that lying (if asked a specific question) is not good.  This is something that just recently came up, and I wasn't sure how to handle it or train him on it. You have to know the difference in imagination and lying. Lying lips are an abomination to God; but they that deal in truth are his delight You shall not bear false witness (you shall not be dishonest in any situation) Truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment Using ones imagination is fun and normal and creative; lying is refusing to face facts and/or take responsibility in a specific situation. Imagination is not wrong; lying is very wrong. Imagination is fun; lying is dangerous You have to use different words.  Let's pretend Let's imagine Always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth That is a LIE and That is VERY BAD Say that softly and sadly Connect those emotions with the act of lying In imagination In reality You have to teach Jacob and his family He lied to his dad His father in law lied to him His sons lied to him The Boy Who Cried Wolf   (14:40) Raising A Child With Special Needs Part 1 Defining special needs. Special needs refer to children who require additional support or services due to physical, developmental, intellectual, or emotional challenges. These needs can range from mild to severe and may affect various aspects of a child's life, including: communication, mobility, learning, behavior, and social interaction.  Some children have physical challenges Blindness, deafness, etc. Some children have mental or emotional challenges Various degrees of autism Fetal alcohol syndrome Some children are diagnosed with behavioral issues   ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can cause significant problems in functioning at home, school, or work.  ADD Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is the older, more colloquial term for a specific type of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) called "Predominantly Inattentive Type”. ODD Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by persistent negativity, defiance, and anger, often in children and adolescents. It's not a personality trait but a diagnosable condition that can impact a child's ability to learn, interact with others, and function in various settings.  OCD Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessions (unwanted, persistent thoughts, images, or urges) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts) that individuals feel driven to perform to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessions. Conclusion

Yay! It's Tuesday! Which means a brand new episode of That's So Chronic! Today's episode is with Ruby Quinn, and we are chatting about her diagnosis of ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), endometriosis, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

We are two young women, who both got diagnosed with ADHD later in life. We wanted to share our story. Cause ADHD still a lot of times is undiagnosed in Women. ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) It is a neurological disorder which is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Basically takes over our lives. Women with ADHD face the same feelings of being overwhelmed and exhausted as men with ADHD commonly feel. Psychological distress, feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and chronic stress are common. Often, women with ADHD feel that their lives are out of control or in chaos, and daily tasks may seem impossibly huge. Maybe this podcast can shine a light on Women with ADHD and encourage those who might think they have symptoms to go and get tested. Speak up about it. Let's stop with the taboos and just embrace being and getting to know yourself. The podcast ADHD in Women was made by Rania Gammouch and edited and recorded by Kim Achtergaele

Let's learn about our attention from a neuroscientist, shall we? Amishi Jha, Ph.D, is here to discuss her new book, Peak Mind, in which she explains what attention is, the types of attention, and what happens when we pay attention to our attention. SPOILER ALERT: Attention is trainable. Yes, research conducted by Dr. Jha and her colleagues proves that even adults with ADHD see improvements in their attention when they implement Dr. Jha's mindfulness training techniques.

Welcome to That's So Chronic! Today's interview is with Tatjana T, and we are chatting all about her diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, or come commonly known as, ADHD. Tatjana's diagnosis is still super fresh, so after meeting for coffee and discussing how this episode could go, we decided this is a perfect opportunity to share the diagnosis process within the mental health system here in New Zealand. In this episode we really explore the process from the moment she thought "hey that could be me" in 2019, to seeing multiple tiktoks in 2021 thinking "hey that could still be me", to then securing a psychologist appointment, receiving her diagnosis, and starting on medication. The graphic that Tatjana mentions is by an artist who goes by @adhd_alien on instagram, and facebook.com/adhdalien on Facebook If you'd like to know more about Tatjana, you can find her on instagram: @tatjanat.performer Thanks for listening to this interview of That's So Chronic!

Kenna and Brianna meet with their friend Libby to talk about the unique intersection of sexuality and ADHD, a connection that isn't often made when discussing sex education. From the way medication and ADHD affects sex drive and relationships, to the parallels seen in the lack of female-focused sex ed and ADHD research, there is plenty to be discussed on this episode. (And for what is probably the thousandth time, we beg you NOT to use Wattpad fanfiction as your primary source of sex ed.)  Below you can find a glossary of jargon-y terms we might've said on the show: ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder): A disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity. Symptoms vary from person to person and manifest in different ways based on sex assigned at birth, age, or other factors.  DSM: Stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and is the handbook used by mental professionals to help in diagnoses of mental disorders. Rejection sensitive dysphoria: An intense emotional response caused by the perception that you have disappointed others in your life.   Special thanks to:  Planned Parenthood Staff: Paola Ferst, Kelsey Hunt-Dolan, and Nan Morgan Audio Editor: Martin Pelaez Music: Rascal Miles with the song “Imagination.” Also check out their new project Tailor-Made at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhJDNtkZTYI  Cover Art: Brianna Nelson

In today's episode, Joe and Mark discuss ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) alongside guest, Jeremy Britton. (who has lived experience with ADHD)

It's been six(6) very long weeks. Six(6) weeks of being paralyzed, of dealing with what I now understand as Mental paralysis. I don't want to call it ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) because that's more broad but, it's very closely related. I have felt this way for the longest and it definitely feels good to finally understand that it's not a spiritual problem.  

Brian Mayer talks with Matis Miller about how best to work with children who can sometimes be stubborn, difficult, or even “uncontrollable.”  Matis is the founder, director, and supervisor of The Center for Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy of New Jersey, Matis Miller is a licensed clinical social worker. We hope you are inspired by today's message.  For more information and additional resources please visit our website at http://www.theremarriedlife.com Today's Goodies Here is much of what Matis talks about on the show: Labeling or Diagnosing the Child: Having a diagnosis can make it easier to modify school assignments or adapt your parenting strategies. Additionally, when people have a diagnosis for themselves or their child, it can be very validating; their experiences and challenges suddenly make sense. I thought I was going crazy, but it turns out that this is something that actually has a name! ADHD: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a fairly well-known disorder that is primarily characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. The symptoms are present before the age of twelve; in some children, they are noticeable from an early age. ADHD can be mild, moderate, or severe. Symptoms of ADHD include: Trouble focusing on tasks and paying attention to detail Difficulty following through and completing tasks Difficulty organizing activities or keeping track of belongings Distractibility or forgetfulness Constant motion or difficulty staying still Excessive talking and interrupting Difficulty waiting one's turn While most healthy children are impulsive and active, the more extreme characteristics of ADHD significantly impact a child's functioning. Parenting an uncontrollable child can be exhausting, frustrating, chaotic, embarrassing, painful, and frightening. (It's pretty tough on the kid, too!) It can also come along with a heaping dose of guilt: What did I do wrong that my child turned out like this? Even the most experienced, knowledgeable, patient, loving parents can find themselves with an uncontrollable child: a child who is emotionally sensitive, easily dysregulated, overly moody, or highly irritable. Emotion dysregulation is often misunderstood, especially by outsiders: He just needs firm discipline! All she needs is some love! Why can't you get your kid to pull himself together? You must be coddling her; you shouldn't stand for this behavior. There's often nothing that the parents could have done to prevent the uncontrollability—most of these children are hard wired to be extra-sensitive, impulsive, or otherwise “uncontrollable.” The good news is that there's plenty you can do now to get your life (and your child's life) under control. As a parent, you have the power to influence your children's lives and enable them to achieve the healthiest state possible. Childhood is the time to accept your child, build him/her up, protect him/her, defend him/her, and love him/her unconditionally, while simultaneously setting healthy limits, encouraging independence, and teaching him/her personal responsibility. It's the time to teach him how to deal with emotional struggles on his own, and also the time to teach him/her how to reach out for help. The “parent training” component of treatment for children with emotion dysregulation is an essential element. Time after time, I've seen that it's far more effective to encourage parents to change than to encourage children to change. That's because adults generally have a broader worldview than their naturally self-centered children; they're also typically more motivated, more willing to cooperate, and more capable of self-driven change than children are.

Here is another virtual learning story with Mr. Fortnite. Virtual teaching had some interesting moments that no teacher has ever experienced before. I teach in a co-taught math class, which is two adults in one general education classroom to provide extra support for all students. Also, I teach my own classes to work on filling in the gaps of math and English for individual students, and build more confidence in themselves. Mr. Fortnite has ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) he has a hard time sitting still, excessive talking, and has a hard time focusing on tasks. It is always an adventure when teaching with him. He is a bright and talented young boy. There is never a dull moment with him.Keep a look out every Friday for new stories to come. 

Women may suffer from ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) and never even know it. Unfortunately, they don't get diagnosed as a child and as a result, they are often misdiagnosed and it goes untreated for years. In today's episode, I chat with Diann Wingert, a coach who specializes in adult ADHD, to uncover what it is really about, how it interferes with a person's life, and how women can come to terms with this often confusing disorder. “I was very proud of the fact that I passed for normal without realizing how much damage I was actually doing to myself in the process. I did not get diagnosed myself (with ADHD) until five years ago.”  - Diann Wingert “Listen to the experts, listen to people sharing personal stories. The more you start to hear other people who are like-minded, like-brained, you realize; I'm not alone, I'm not broken either.”  - Diann Wingert   Timestamps 2:45 - How ADHD presents in women and why we don't usually see it in girls 9:20 - Two ways in which ADHD can interfere in a girl/woman's life 15:17 - Common myths and misunderstandings on ADHD 20:11 - What to do if you think you have ADHD - the symptoms/traits and medications 25:00 - Diann's experience while on ADHD medication and one hack for people who can't or don't want to take meds 27:06 - The problem with impulsivity plus tips on how to avoid impulsive spending and being in debt 37:22 - Cost-effective ways for people with ADHD to get support and assistance 39:43 - What are the next levels of support or treatment for ADHD 42:23 - The difference between therapy and coaching and how to know when to see a therapist and/or a coach Resources The Social Dilemma Website for ADHD coaches and other resources ADHD reWired by Eric Tivers The Driven Woman Podcast by Diann Wingert ADHD for Smart Ass Women Podcast with Tracy Otsuk‪a Natalie Bacon Delivered from Distraction by Edward Hallowell ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction--from Childhood through Adulthood by Edward Hallowell and John Ratey Connect with Diann diannwingertcoaching.com Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Connect with Melanie mentalhealthandwealth.com melanielockert.com Instagram Contact: mentalhealthandwealthshow@gmail.com   Want more content and support?  Sign up for the Mental Hump Newsletter and get our free Mental Health and Money inventory worksheet.

Lately we have both been indulging in our own hyperfocus activities. Nick has playing his new game, and Tricia has been working on her new business. For the most part both of us have been enjoying the hyperfocus, but there are some drawbacks as well. For example, sometimes hyperfocus gets in the way of our communication... and sometimes we stay up too late. But as anyone with ADHD knows, it just comes with the territory. Hyperfocus is not all bad or all good. It just is. We do our best to make it work for us and not against us. Spoiler alert: The best part of this episode is probably hearing Nick laugh. He may have even laughed a little too hard a couple times, but no one is complaining! Thanks for listening, and keep talking! www.NickandTricia.com

Today's show is a little different from the usual one.

Because as you're listening to this, I want you to know that you are not alone.You are not in this journey on this road by yourself. There are lots of us who have done this already and are still going through it. And we would like to share our story.

In this week's episode we are joined by some very special guests to have our first ADHD Roundtable Discussion. We welcome back Brendan Mahan (ADHD Essentials), Rene Brooks (Black Girl, Lost Keys), and Aurora Remember Holtzman (Embracing Intensity) to the show to talk about ADHD, impulsivity, parenting, rejection sensitivity, and physical symptoms that co-occur with the diagnosis. In a very special moment, and vulnerable share, Rene opens up about her experiences with navigating her race and her ADHD, and how even in 2020 there are issues with finding women of color that openly talk about their diagnosis. What is ADHD: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children. ADHD also affects many adults. Symptoms of ADHD include inattention (not being able to keep focus), hyperactivity (excess movement that is not fitting to the setting) and impulsivity (hasty acts that occur in the moment without thought). There are three different types of ADHD, depending on which types of symptoms are strongest in the individual:Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: It is hard for the individual to organize or finish a task, to pay attention to details, or to follow instructions or conversations. The person is easily distracted or forgets details of daily routines.Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: The person fidgets and talks a lot. It is hard to sit still for long (e.g., for a meal or while doing homework). Smaller children may run, jump or climb constantly. The individual feels restless and has trouble with impulsivity. Someone who is impulsive may interrupt others a lot, grab things from people, or speak at inappropriate times. It is hard for the person to wait their turn or listen to directions. A person with impulsiveness may have more accidents and injuries than others.Combined Presentation: Symptoms of the above two types are equally present in the person.Click here to find:Brendan MahanRene BrooksAurora Remember HoltzmanIf your ready to work with us, or for more information on Being UnNormal check out our website at www.beingunnormal.comFollow us on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingunnormalInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingunnormalpodcastSupport the show (http://www.pateron.com/beingunnormal)

“I challenge you, nothing is more fascinating, nothing is more puzzling than our brain,” says Professor Tracy Bale from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, USA and the Director of the Centre for Epigenetic Research in Child Health and Brain Development. Professor Bale studies epigenetics – biochemical marks on our DNA. “It doesn't change the DNA sequence, we still inherit that from mum and dad. It is the environment's way of allowing specific genes to be expressed or not expressed during given times or in specific tissues.” Epigenetics can have an intergenerational and even potentially a trans-generational effect on how offspring may develop, she says. “This is based on different environmental exposures – Mum was obese, Dad was stressed – or enrichment such as your parents may have read to you more or less. “Our brain continues to respond to its environment. So all of these factors together determine exactly how we function in our risk and our resilience.” Professor Bale notes that ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) may in evolutionary terms reflect a need for vigilance. “It may have been advantageous if you're out somewhere and there's more lions, so you need to be vigilant. So the right environment has you watching what's going on outside the window instead of listening to a teacher in a classroom.” “So from an evolutionary biology point of view, we need all types in the tribe because it's survival.” Episode recorded: February 12, 2020.

Listen to this month’s episode of the Government Digital Service podcast to hear about the award winning step by step work on GOV.UK. Kate Ivey-Williams and Sam Dub, from the GOV.UK team, explain why and how the navigation was created and its impact on users.  A full transcript of the episode follows.    Laura Stevens: Hello and welcome to the Government Digital Service podcast. My name is Laura Stevens and I’m a writer here at GDS. Today we’re going to be speaking about the award-winning ‘Step by Step’ navigation on GOV.UK. This is a navigation that breaks down complex tasks into simple steps. The navigation follows you throughout your journey, indicating what to do now and next. It also shows you what previous steps you might have missed. For example, getting a provisional driving licence before booking a driving theory test. To tell me more about this is Kate Ivey-Williams and Sam Dub, so, please, could you introduce yourself and tell me what you do here at GDS, for Kate first?   Kate Ivey-Williams:   Yes, so I am Service Design Lead for GOV.UK. That basically means my work focuses on 2 things. It’s looking at how the platform of GOV.UK helps government to deliver services, but also looking at how the GOV.UK programme, as a group of people, are helping government to improve those services.   Laura Stevens: Sounds great, and Sam?   Sam Dub:   I’m a product manager working on GOV.UK. For the last couple of years, really, I’ve been focusing on navigation of GOV.UK. That means, really, making things easy to find, but also, with ‘Step by Step’ navigation, making things easier to do. Ways that we can join things up so they make sense for users is a key part of that.   Laura Stevens: Okay. Your team won a prestigious design award last month. That was from D&AD. How did you feel when you found out about that?   Kate Ivey-Williams:   Really exciting. I think it’s like you spend a lot of time looking inwards at government and having a strong belief that you’re working on the right things and doing things that make sense, but it’s very nice to get recognition from people outside of your world of work, and peers across the industry, that the thing that you’re working on is a good thing and that it feels meaningful beyond just the context that we’re working in.   Sam Dub: I think one of the things that’s really nice about it is it’s an iteration on GOV.UK. A lot of the work there are like re-launches or rebrands, and this is like a continuation of some of the thinking that’s been around GOV.UK since the beginning. It feels like a kind of validation of a process of iteration, like week by week, month by month, we’ve got to this new place. It’s quite exciting.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   I was a bit unsure, actually, whether we would win an award, because obviously GOV.UK has won 2 awards previously, mostly focused on… They were awards for content design, and I was unsure whether entering this they would just see it like, “GOV… It’s just the same thing.”   Laura Stevens: You’re just getting all the awards, aren’t you?   Kate Ivey-Williams:   They’re just, “What do you want another award for?” But we entered it in a different category and I think they did understand that we’re trying to achieve slightly different things. Driven by the same principles, we’re now focusing on doing slightly different things and working in slightly different ways than we did 5 years ago, or whenever we won the previous awards.   Sam Dub: It built on that work. The early achievement, the big achievement of GOV.UK in its first year was just getting everything together in the same place. That’s something that Neil Williams was talking about on… I think it was the first or second episode of the podcast.   Laura Stevens:   Yes, the first podcast; yes.   Sam Dub: He was leading that work. Just getting all those departmental websites shut down and all that content moved into one place was a huge achievement. Then there was a, kind of, follow-on challenge for that, which was like, “How do we make this stuff findable and usable, and how do we join this content up and these transactions up across departments?” We’re able to do what we’re doing because of that work that came before us, but it follows in a, kind of, tradition of ideas of, like, joining things up for users, making things easy, like making sure that users don’t have to understand the structure of government in order to find what they need.   Laura Stevens:   This is what I was going to talk about, like how ‘Step by Step’ came about. What was the genesis of it?   Kate Ivey-Williams: It’s, kind of, the reason that I joined GOV.UK. I was one of the first service designers to join GDS as an organisation. Lou Downe joined first and established service design as a profession within GDS, and then they brought in myself and another person. I joined GOV.UK with the idea that, “Okay, you’re going to be on GOV.UK and you’re going to think about how does GOV.UK do services?”  I’ve been at GDS for about 4 years now, and it took, probably, about a year and a half before we could kick off this work in any meaningful way, because we had to still do quite a lot of technical work on GOV.UK, bringing all the content into one place so that we could do consistent universal navigation across all content. There was quite a lot of technical debt to deal with.  It’s been ticking along and our ideas have been evolving, a year and a half ago, we were able to really kick this work off in earnest and think about how all of those ideas translate into something actual, real.   Sam Dub:   Yes, and it’s such an attractive idea. For me, somebody who didn’t have all that background, coming to it at that point, it was just such an exciting idea – the idea that we could have, like, a single page that would tell you everything you needed to do in order to get something done, something big, and chunky, and meaningful, like learning to drive, or starting a business, or employing someone, these complicated processes. If, as government, we could just create one page that’s well structured and explains exactly what you need to do, that’s such a valuable thing for users, for citizens. That was a really exciting idea to just pick up and run with.   Laura Stevens: Why did you pick the first one, which was ‘Learning to Drive’?    Kate Ivey-Williams:   There was quite a lot of previous work done in that area. When Lou first joined GDS, they went off to Swansea, and worked a lot with DVLA, and were looking at a lot of the driving services, so we had quite a historical knowledge base in that area and already had quite a good understanding of that journey.  From that respect, it was quite a good one to pick up, because we had stuff we could build on, but it also is a journey that’s quite simple, and linear, and quite easily understood.   Sam Dub: I think it’s, kind of, exemplifies what this pattern, this design pattern, this new feature on GOV.UK is for, in that inside ’Learning to Drive’ you’ve got a load of guidance. You’ve got stuff like… The ‘Highway Code’ is probably the best-known part of that. You’ve got all these kinds of transactions you need to do with government.  Before you start, you’ve got to get a provisional driving licence. That’s a transaction with government. Then, at some point in that process, you’ve got to do your theory test. You’ve got to take some driving lessons. Then you’ve got to take your practical test.  You’ve got to do those things in the right order, like you can’t take a driving test until you’ve got your provisional licence. So, it was just a really nice kind of model for how we could start organising that content in a simple sequence that made sense to people, to make that easier.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   ‘Learn to Drive’ had quite a good mix of things across it that we could start testing the pattern slightly about how it could deal with real processes that a user’s going through, not just the government processes.   Laura Stevens: I was actually going to talk through the design of that, because it went through quite a few rounds, iterations.  Sam Dub: Like with most things, we start in identifying a need. We knew that we needed to join up transactions and guidance, because you need both. You need to engage with the guidance, and you need to do these transactions, so we started developing prototypes for how we do that.  As with most things in GDS and GOV.UK, we start with user research. That’s bringing in people who are in the process of learning to drive. We put these early prototypes in front of them and we really asked them just to go through the… To engage with them naturally, as if they were in their own homes, and do the parts of the journey where they were at, at the moment.  That allowed us to evolve a design over… I think it was, in the creation of the original pattern, about 10 rounds of user research. Each time, we were bringing a slightly different prototype, like building on the learnings and insights from the previous round, and really honing this design pattern to a point where users felt comfortable with it. It felt natural, it felt intuitive to them. Laura Stevens: You also went up to Neath, as well. Kate Ivey-Williams:   To the Digital Accessibility Centre. Yes, that was good. We went a whole crew of us. We were, like, the back end, front end: me, the designer; you, the product manager; user research. We all went along and we tested it with, I think, around 10 people who were in the Digital Accessibility Centre who have varying access needs, whether that be cognitive ability or sight, or perhaps it’s… I think one of the people we tested with has ADHD [Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]. There were quite a lot of different access needs that we tested against, and that was… It was such an interesting day, yes.   Sam Dub: Yes, we learnt tons from that, and that directly translated into improvements to the designs that make it work better – for everybody, actually.    Laura Stevens: Now there are 41 ‘Step by Step’ lives. You’ve got quite a range. You’ve got, obviously, the first one, ‘Learning to Drive a Car’, ‘Getting Married’, ‘Getting Divorced’. On a slightly lighter note, you’ve got ‘Reporting Treasure’, as well.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   Yes.    Sam Dub: Yes.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   My favourite.   Sam Dub: For the metal detectorists out there, if you find your Anglo-Saxon hoard, unfortunately you have to tell the government about that. You can’t just keep it and so that’s a ‘Step by Step’ process. It’s about, like, we deliberately picked early on these wildly diverse types of processes from, like, something really emotionally taxing and legally complicated, like divorce, and then something like, if you find buried treasure or the cargo of a shipwreck, you have to tell government about that. We were testing to make sure that this pattern could handle all these different kinds of interactions that people have to make with government.   Laura Stevens: How did you go about creating these step by step?   Kate Ivey-Williams:    We’ve developed a bit of a standardised process now where we’ve now got enough traction with government that in the early days we were going out to departments and saying, “We think your thing would work really well as part of this user journey thing that we’re doing on GOV.UK. You don’t really know what it is yet, but we’d love to give it a go. Can you be our alpha partners?” to a point where we’ve now got enough traction with government that they’re coming to us so we’ve actually got hundreds of ‘Step by Step’ journeys in our backlog that we could build, and now it’s about picking up them, based on prioritisation. And once we… We have 2 different starting points. Sometimes you have a really tangible idea of what the journey is and who the users are. When you’ve got that idea, you can start building a draft of that journey internally in GOV.UK with our content designers, who are brilliant service designers, actually. They interrogate the content on GOV.UK and start mapping out a draft of this thing.  Then, alongside that, we start working out who are the departments involved? Who do we need to get into a room to go through this journey, validate it, make sure that we are going to be pointing at the right things, in the right order, so that users can do all the things they need to do? Sometimes you start off with a much more fuzzy service area where you’re not quite sure what journeys should be built in that area, or it’s just it’s a bit complicated. You need to think: how are you going to break that down?    Laura Stevens: Does that journey happen here at GDS, or would you go out to the departments?   Sam Dub:   It’s generally whatever works for the participants. I think this is, maybe, a thing that, outside government, people are not necessarily so aware of: that, with a journey like employing somebody, that’s how a user sees it in terms of, “Okay, I need to hire someone for my business,” but actually that’s owned. The guidance and the transactions are owned by 5 different departments that could be in 5 different offices, in 5 different parts of the country.  What’s exciting is getting all those people in a room together and going, “Actually, collectively, as government, we own this thing. We own the journey. You don’t just own your little bit. We all, together, can make the journey of employing someone really simple, quick, seamless.” It’s really exciting getting those people in the room. People are generally really up for that, like they’re enthusiastic about making the whole thing better.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   More often than not, as well, these workshops, it’s the first time that these people have ever met or thought about how their things join up. That’s really one of the key reasons why this ‘Step by Step’ stuff exists. It’s not just about creating a good experience for users who are trying to do things with government. It’s like 20% that, but it’s like 80% getting government to understand their services, and know who else in government they need to collaborate with when they’re thinking about improving those services, and getting them to take ownership of that as a joined-up, cross-departmental group of people.   Sam Dub: That’s what we really hope happens with this stuff, is that when we’re just getting started in terms of, like, we’re at 41 at the moment, there are hundreds of these kinds of services that the government provides.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   So many – so many.    Sam Dub: We’ve got a lot of work to do.   Laura Stevens: You’ve been busy.   Sam Sub:   But then once, even for … So, the 40 that we’ve mapped out – and you can go see them on GOV.UK – they’re also just the beginning. Those things are 7 or 8 step processes. It’s really great to have a group of people come together and, maybe, have a think about: “Okay, now we’ve mapped it out and seen it all in one place, actually that’s quite complicated,” like, “This, maybe, doesn’t need to be an 8 step process. Maybe we have a policy goal which is reducing this down to 3 steps.” That as, like, Step By Steps’ as an enabler of, like, transformation and improvement of services is one of our goals for this work.   Kate Ivey Williams: It’s journey mapping, basically, which is like… As a service designer, that’s our bread and butter, is doing journey mapping, because that’s how you understand how everything works and what’s going wrong, but it’s translating that into something that’s, kind of, shiny and people want it.    Laura Stevens: There have been some really good outcomes, I’ve got some figures, like since launch it’s been used by 10.5 million people. Is that still correct?    Kate Ivey-Williams:   Yes, possibly more because I think that’s the numbers for the overview pages, which are… Within every ‘Step by Step’ journey you’ve got, like, the overview page, which is the journey on one page, but then every page within that end-to-end service will also have the ‘Step by Step’ navigation on. Actually, there are more people using the navigation on the content and transaction pages than they are using the overview pages, so yes.   Sam Dub: Yes, that’s one of the key insights that are shaping GOV.UK, is the fact that users generally start from search, and they land deep in GOV.UK on content, or they might only think about the process in terms of a transaction. They might think about driving in terms of:  “Okay, I’ve got to take a test.” Actually, there’s a load of stuff you need to do before you get to there. It’s about helping users, when they arrive on a piece of content, to go, “Actually, this is part of a 5 step process. Maybe I need to hop back a few steps, do a little bit first, and then I can do this bit.”  We’re making it clear on the site. You’ll see it looks like a kind of underground map on the right-hand side of webpages. It’s a beautiful, responsive design, so it looks good on mobile, too. It’ll show you exactly, using this kind of underground line metaphor, exactly where you are in that process.  We’ve seen that in the lab, users telling us, like, “This is really useful. This makes this process seem manageable,” for some things that often don’t, things that people often need, maybe get professional help or have to call and have to get a lawyer to come and help them do it because it feels so vast and unmanageable. Just by breaking it down and saying, “This is what you need to do now. This is what you need to do next,” really, really helps people. Laura Stevens: How do you know that people are reading the content and making use of it?   Sam Dub:   I think we start with user research, but then we start looking for data at [site] scale [when we] start publishing things on GOV.UK. One of the things that we developed alongside the ‘Step by Step’ navigation is this new component. You’ll see it at the bottom of every single page on GOV.UK. It’s just got one very short question in a little blue bar at the bottom of the page, and it just says, ‘Is this useful, yes or no?’. It’s a kind of live usefulness vote that we’ve got running on every page of the site.  This is a common technique across the web. We didn’t invent this, but it gives you a very useful starting metric for what’s working for users and what’s not. It’ll often flag an issue that you then might want to take into a user research lab and look at more in detail: “Actually, what’s going wrong here?” But one of the first signs we had that we were like, “Really on the right track here,” is that the usefulness scores for the new ‘Step by Step’ journeys that we published – the first [set of] ‘Step by Step’ journeys – were way higher than some of the things that they were replacing, and equivalent formats.  We had, like 80%, 90% usefulness scores, which were great news for us. I think the no prompt, if you say, ‘No, this page isn’t useful,’ you’re prompted to give us a bit of feedback. If one of the ‘Step by Steps’ isn’t working for you, there is this mechanism for people to say, “Actually, this is why. This is the bit you’ve… You’ve missed this bit,” or, “I’m in this circumstance and this doesn’t work for me.” It’s a way of us getting feedback at scale from users, and that’s always where we’re focused. We’re always watching the live performance data of what we’re doing, to make sure that it’s right for the circumstance, that it’s right for where we’ve applied it.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   We know it helps people because we’ve seen, for example, the ‘Applying for tax-free childcare’, once we introduce the ‘Step by Step’ – well, the hypothesis before we built the ‘Step by Step’ was that people were not checking whether it was right for them, or they weren’t checking their eligibility before jumping into the transaction itself to apply. They were using the application process as a bit of an eligibility checker, which is not what it’s built for.  Because of that, a lot of people were dropping out, or failing, or applying for the wrong thing. After introducing the ‘Step by Step’ navigation, in the analytics we saw more people who were hitting the transaction page but then jumping back to the eligibility guidance, and then coming back to the transaction and going through it successfully because they were going through with confidence that this was the right thing for them. Fewer people were applying for it incorrectly.   Sam Dub: That – those kind improvements, getting people just, like, not jumping into transactions that are wrong for them, filling in the right form – is like, one, it saves users tons of time, and primarily that’s what we care about. The secondary impact of that is that also, in turn, saves government loads of money, like having to deal with forms that aren’t filled in right, or calls to call centres because someone doesn’t understand how stuff [has been]… How a service works. That also costs government money, and civil servants time. So, by making things better for users, it has this benefit of saving government time and money, as well, which is really nice.   Kate Ivey-Williams: I’m nodding.    Laura Stevens:  Can you give me a step by step to making a ‘Step by Step’? Sam Dub: There’s a serious one. As a family, we’ve been talking a lot about lasting power of attorney, and everyone in my family is healthy and good, but my parents are in their late 60s and it’s a sensible thing for people to start talking about and planning ahead.  So, within, like, family WhatsApp groups and email, people are just pinging around links to GOV.UK guidance, going, ‘Have a look at this. Is this like…?’ Because there’s a different role for the person who is making the lasting power of attorney, and the people who will, essentially, have an obligation to look after that person if something was to happen to their health.  We’re pinging around guidance, discussing this, and I’m sitting there going, “We should totally do this,” like, “There’s a user need here.” This is complicated. There are decisions being taken. It’s a thing that some people go and seek legal advice about.  Whilst, as a product manager, I wouldn’t abuse my position to get stuff made that’s helpful to me, there’s an indication that there might be a need there. That’s something that we could do the research to actually see if there really was something there, but I’d love to see that happen.   Laura Stevens: How would you go about doing that if you wanted to create that particular one?   Sam Dub:   In that case, you would look at the parts of the service and the guidance that exists around it. Then you get someone like Kate to come and run this, these workshops that we’ve now got pretty practised at, but Kate can probably tell you what happens.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   Yes, less me and more the content designers, because they are experts in knowing what’s on GOV.UK and how it all fits together. They’re really good. Content design is basically about explaining government services in a really clear way so that people understand them.  And I think we’ve now got to a point where we’ve got the right balance where we’re taking something in that helps them share their knowledge and helps us to get moving quickly so that we can give them something back quickly that is the results of their collaboration.   Sam Dub: Invariably, something does emerge that’s new and that is a new way of framing something. That is something that no one department could have done on their own.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   Exactly.   Sam Dub: We certainly couldn’t have come, arrived with that up our sleeve and said, like, “This is how it’s going to be structured.” It’s a genuine collaborative process where the input of the expertise in the departments about the different parts of those journeys come together to create this thing that is, hopefully, framed in a way that makes sense to users and is how they think about it, rather than how government thinks about that problem.   Laura Stevens: Yes, I was going to touch on that, how you’re making government think about itself as a place that delivers services. It sounds like, [with all] this collaboration, that’s been a key outcome from this.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   There are a lot going on across government to help them think about things in a slightly different way, to help them think about themselves as service providers. Like, the new service standard is really strong on that, and about getting government to think about services and whole problems, and tackling those collaboratively, but I think ‘Step by Step’ is one of the really tangible tools that enables departments to start work on that. It’s the first step on the road, I think, yes.    Laura Stevens: And I should probably also finish the Step by Step. Once the workshop has been done, what’s the next stage with your service here?    Kate Ivey-Williams:   Usually, if we’re going into that workshop with a fairly good idea of the journey and we have that very draft-y thing in the publishing tool, as the conversations are going on with the departments that’s been facilitated by someone from our team, someone else in our team is sitting in the background, updating the draft of that thing in the publishing tool.  So, by the end of the workshop we can show them the tangible output, a sort of first-draft example of what they’ve been discussing, with the caveat that we need to take that away and do a bit more massaging of the content. Then the thing gets “2i” internally. That’s a jargon-y term for it gets reviewed by another content designer within GOV.UK. Then we send it out for fact-check with departments. This follows our standard mainstream guidance fact-check process, where it goes to the subject-matter experts within departments, who then say, “Yes, that is factually correct. Go ahead and sign it off.” Or they give us feedback about, “Actually, you’ve misunderstood something there.”    Sam Dub: I always enjoy when it goes to the lawyers. That’s when you know it’s like… That’s when you know you’re changing stuff, because the lawyers are there to make sure that, in the way that we’re presenting this in a simple way, we aren’t straying from what’s legally correct, and we aren’t misleading people, but we are… Presenting some of these complicated legal processes as a simple one-pager does mean it needs to get read and fact-checked by a lawyer in the process. There is often this wide range of expertise that we need to consult, and people who, in the process of reframing this stuff, we’ve had to consult, but everything’s gone live. At every point, we’ve reached a consensus. When everyone sees it at the end, they go, “Oh,” like, “That’s better.”    Kate Ivey-Williams:   Yes.   Laura Stevens: Does it go back to that point of, exposing those…? Perhaps the policy challenges that this is what part of the process is.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   Yes. I think sometimes a confusing and complex policy is hidden in guidance that is spread across GOV.UK. When you extract it and expose it in this really simplified view of that thing, you actually realise the policy is complicated or the thing doesn’t make sense, because the policy is complicated.  Hopefully, that is… Showing them that is the start of a process of thinking: “How can we simplify this, because this is confusing users and this is making work for us, as government, it’s making work for them to try and understand something which should just be simple.”   Sam Dub:   That was really one of the early learnings of this, was that we needed to get the policymakers in the room for those workshops, because often there can be a process where our content designers do a bunch of work and then they pass it over to policy people. Some context is lost there. If you’ve got the policymakers in the room from the start, that’s another kind of collaboration. It’s different departments and it’s different disciplines being there to inform the process.   Laura Stevens: These ‘Step by Steps’ have also been very helpful to the voice assistant work, as well, haven’t they?   Sam Dub:   Yes. This is part of a broader strategy. We sometimes talk about GOV.UK now… Or trying to make GOV.UK understandable to humans and understandable to machines. I sometimes wonder, when we say that, what people are imagining, like some kind of robot overlords.   Kate Ivey-Williams: Exactly.   Laura Stevens:   Our new user.    Sam Dub: To be clear, to clear this up on the GDS podcast, not for the robot overlords, one example of what we mean by that is so that our content is understandable to search engines. If you do a search for becoming a driving instructor or learning to drive a car, from a search engine on mobile – actually, this is something that’s gone live in the last month – they’re able to see the… The search engine is able to look at the structure of our content.  You get, like, this little carousel of steps that appears that you can swipe through. You can jump to: “I’m at step 3 of ‘Learning to Drive’,” like, “I’ve got my provisional licence, so now I’m studying for my test, so I can jump to that.” That’s powered by some mark-up that we’ve added to our ‘Step by Steps’ that makes them easier for machines to read. It’s the same mark-up that powers search that can also power voice assistance, so you can query those ‘Step by Steps’ – or the content within those ‘Step by Steps’ – in the same way.   Laura Stevens: I’ve also seen a figure floating round that there are, like, 400 services you want to do this to. Is that how many, or is it literally just-?   Kate Ivey-Williams:   That’s that finger in the air. I think that’s based off of the amount of mainstream guidance we have, which is it covers the really major, far-reaching government services, but, because ‘Step by Step’ navigation can work across all content on GOV.UK, it means that even beyond those 400, if there are departments who are sitting in some really niche area of government, they can still start using this pattern for something that [might]… Maybe it only has 200 users a year, but they can still start thinking about it and piecing their journey together in the depths of Whitehall content, as well. There’s potentially way more than 400, but that covers some of the really key services that we know we would like to build.   Laura Stevens: What sort of journeys are definitely not ‘Step by Steps’? Like, when you’re thinking, if you’re listening and you’re working on a service, what would be not suitable?   Sam Dub: This is a crude indicator of it, it’s generally stuff you need to do in more than one sitting, like you can’t learn to drive or get married in one web session. It’s going to take a bit longer.   Kate Ivey-Williams:   One day. I think you can in Estonia, probably.   Sam Dub: It will generally be something where you’ve got to read a bit of GOV.UK, go and do a thing in the real world, come back, and then read or do something else. That’s a, kind of, gut-feel indicator of when some navigation that’s going to help people join up those activities is going to help. Kate Ivey-Williams:    When I think about the ‘Step by Steps’ I want to build, one of the ones I really wanted to do was what to do when someone dies, because it is these high-emotion, really difficult times of life when the last thing you want to be doing is thinking about government admin. I know they’re a bit depressing, but that’s what motivates me, is to take the pressure off people at those horrible times and make life a little bit easier.  I think other ‘Step by Steps’ I would love to build would be, like, helping people who are out of work, and tying together all the services and the suite of things in that space that could support them in that time of life, or other things like that. That’s where we can add, I think, the most value.   Sam Dub:   It’s those moments in life where you really value somebody saying, like, “You just do this, do this, do this, and you’ll be fine.” Yes, that’s what motivates us, I think.   Kate Ivey-Williams:    Totally, yes.   Laura Stevens: Not adding unnecessary stress or pressure on a highly emotional situation.   Kate Ivey-Williams:    Yes. Who wants to think about government when you’ve got all that other stuff on your plate? No-one. I think it’s about making government much more invisible. Ultimately, people don’t want to think about that. They want to get on with their lives.   Laura Stevens: “Thank you” to Kate, and, “Thank you” to Sam today. You can listen to all the episodes of the Government Digital Service podcast on Apple Music, Spotify, and all other major podcast platforms, and you can read the transcripts on Podbean. Thank you very much again.   Sam Dub:   Thank you.   Kate Ivey-Williams:    Thanks for having us.

My Fellow ADHD Attention Whore: Shawn McGovern It was truly a pleasure to spend some time with Shawn McGovern tonight. My new friend and fellow "attention whore", and I had surprisingly never met before this evening and I am amazed at some of the things we have in common. Shawn and I spoke about the worst jobs we ever had and the ways in which we got ourselves fired from them. Shawn can be found using the links below   shawnmcgovern.com Musings Of Shawn

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a puzzle. While the number of people diagnosed with ADHD is on the rise, there is still debate about whether ADHD is a real disorder, and debate about whether people, children especially, with ADHD should be prescribed medication to treat their symptoms. Despite the debates, there does seem to be a link between the symptoms of ADHD and mass-produced foods with lots of sodium, sugar, chemicals, and other additives. Dr. Rachel V. Gow is a neuroscientist whose expertise is ADHD, and particularly the impact of food, diet, and nutrition on the development and treatment of ADHD. She'll help us sort through the puzzle that is ADHD and talk about the importance of nutrition for children with ADHD and for all of us. Know-It-All Host, Allison R. Brown, is a civil rights attorney and President of Allison Brown Consulting (ABC), which creates education equity plans and works with entities to promote equity in education.  

ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a very common, yet treatable illness found in children.
