As coaches, Cam and Shelly are working with clients on managing the many disruptions caused by the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The individual challenges are as unique as our clients, the individual impacts they are experiencing, and their individual ADHD experience.
In today's episode, we bring that conversation to our listeners by discussing what we and our clients are working through: lost or reduced income, loss of crucial supports (environments, people, routines, structure), managing time when everything happens all under one roof, and more.

As adults with ADHD, we often do do not see the many resources available to us. However, when we are operating from a place of strength, we can start to identify and access those resources.
In today's episode, Cam and Shelly discuss the importance of approaching resources from a place of strength, identify several areas in which to look for and identify resources, and give examples in a few crucial resource areas.

This week we continue the conversation around strengths by looking at Shelly's client Sally and her limiting belief that she had to "pass as neurotypical" to be successful. Cam and Shelly break down how Sally shifted from this limiting belief to a strengths based perspective. We also discuss why this shift is so important and why it is often the place we begin with our clients.

This week we turn our attention to tapping into our strengths as adults with ADHD. Cam and Shelly break down why we are strengths based coaches and discuss how accessing and leveraging strengths is a powerful way to help our clients create the change they are seeking. We then cap the conversation by discussing how accessing and leveraging strengths helped one of Cam's clients turn a scenario at work from one of challenge to one of opportunity and success.

As adults with ADHD we often have a black or white view of hyperfocus. On one hand we see it as a powerful elixir or superpower that allows us incredible focus and productivity. On the other, we know that hyperfocus can distract us from what is important by dragging us down Alice in Wonderland style rabbit holes.
In today's episode, Shelly and Cam discuss how to create awareness around hyperfocus by distinguishing when we are hyperfocusing on tasks that are timely and relevant from tasks that are not. We bring in examples from our own experience, discuss popular examples of hyperfocus portrayal, and discuss how hyperfocus differs from flow state.

As adults with ADHD we often view time as the enemy, because many of the effects of ADHD look like poor time management. Today, Shelly discusses her experience working with neurotypical adults and adults with ADHD in the areas of time management and breaks the differences in experiences. Shelly and Cam then distinguish time management challenges from ADHD challenges.
We also discuss how effects of our ADHD challenges are often mistakenly believed to have cause in time management issues, both by ourselves and the neurotypicals around us.

Transitions are difficult for those of us with ADHD. Often we can become stuck in one of two gears: the neutral gear of "the planner" or the 5th gear of "the doer" with little access to the gears between the two. This inability to access other gears tends to keep us stuck in either a pre-action or reaction mode.
In today's episode Cam and Shelly discuss how to identify which gear you tend to be stuck in, and how those of us with ADHD can begin to access the gears between neutral and 5th.

Those of us with ADHD experience time differently. To complicate matters, our perception of time can vary based on individual ADHD manifestation and a number of outside factors. Today Cam and Shelly discuss some of the ways in which they and their clients experience time differently.
We also discuss how to begin developing awareness of your own experience of time as an adult with ADHD so that you develop strategies to get what matters to you while managing the amount of time that is given to or taken by others.
Cam's Seven Factors to Action:
Take the item or goal on your list that has not budged and rank each of these areas from 1-10. The areas that fall below a 7 are the ones that speak to why this item is not moving forward.
- Level of interest
- Level of ease
- Level of urgency
- Level of fun
- Level of accountability
- Level of relevance or importance
- Level of emotional load

As adults with ADHD we respond well to urgency, but not necessarily to importance. This often leads to us failing to act on the things that are important to us but will never be urgent; items such as career and business goals, self care goals, and self improvement goals. Today, Cam and Shelly discuss why these items are so difficult for us to get to action on as adults with ADHD, and how we can objectively evaluate what has us stuck here.

This week Cam and Shelly continue the conversation around ADHD and negative self talk by exploring how we have each shifted in this area over time. We each discuss a recent scenario in which ADHD caught us off guard, what the consequences were, and how we were able to manage both the situation at hand and our ADHD tendencies. We then reflect on what might have gone differently prior to having done the understand, own, and translate work we advocate for on the podcast and with our clients.
Reflecting Questions for Listeners:
As we hit episode #13 (and counting!) Cam also pointed out that now is a great time as a listener to pause and reflect on your experience with the podcast so far. Here are the four questions he posed:
- What are you aware of?
- What are you learning?
- What is resonating?
- What is your practice?
