In this first session you will get an overview of the symptoms and causes of ADHD according to current research and you will come away with a better understanding of your ADHD brain. This information will empower you to look at your ADHD differently and see your capacity for change in a more positive light.

You will also get the scoop on the plethora of other credible treatment options (backed by research) and how they can help you manage your ADHD. Also, learn about the importance of using your strengths when working with your ADHD.

After this session you will be in a better position to make an informed decision on creating a holistic treatment plan that will work for you. I will also provide you with a list of resources so you can get more information, if you want to dig a little deeper.

Also, learn what others have tried and the results they received.

Too much structure may leave you feeling like you need to get out of Dodge. But the right kind of structure can help you get your important stuff done. You already know this, right? Maybe you've tried to create this on your own. But have not had enough success.

You will come away from this session with techniques you can try and pitfalls to avoid in order to adopt the must have tools and habits for using these tools that will work for you and your ADHD.

You will also learn the techniques and tools others use to help them to add structure in their work and home lives.

Getting your important work done can be a challenge for many people, for sure. There are so many options, after all!

But the decision making and planning needed to accomplish all your important work may be particularly hard for you because of your ADHD. Learn why you may be having a challenging time planning, as well as the best practices you need to do this with greater ease. More specifically, you will learn how to implement the keystone habits of weekly and daily planning, as well as how to make decisions about what work to do in the moment.

As with all of our sessions, you will learn from others what they have found that helps them plan and make decisions about what work to do.

I want to be sure the class is customized for the current group of participants. So, in this first of two open sessions, we will take a step back and look more closely into your questions prompted by the first three sessions.

If you are like most Adults with ADHD, I bet procrastination ranks right up there in the top 3 behaviors you would like to change. Good news. Even if you are a die-hard procrastinator now, you can change this.

In this session you will learn about the reasons for your procrastination, some of which may be related to your ADHD. Understanding your particular flavor of procrastination will help you create solutions that are best suited for you.

Then we will explore various creative solutions you can use to address the reasons you procrastinate in the first place.

Hear what others have tried and successfully used to counter their procrastination.

"Oh, there goes the squirrel..." How many times have you heard that?! Sometimes, it makes sense to throw caution to the wind, get rid of the plan and follow your instincts. But how about when you want to manage your time better so you can follow your plan? But distractions get in your way.

Even with the best of plans, there are many ways you can get derailed from following through on your intentions. Learn about the various ways adults with ADHD get distracted. And come away with strategies and tools you can use to help you manage distractions and execute on what is important to you.

And, of course, you will find out the best practices others use for dealing with distractions in their life and following through on their plans.

For adults with ADHD communicating can be a veritable landmine at times.

• saying what you do not mean
• talking too little
• talking too much
• not being able to follow a conversation
• feeling overwhelmed
• getting distracted

Sound familiar? You are not alone.

In this session you will learn how your communication challenges may be related to your ADHD and about techniques to help you communicate better.

And, as always, hear from others how they manage their communication challenges.

In this last class we will again take a step back to look at your questions prompted by the previous sessions.

Before each session I will send you a handout to help you attend and take notes so you can get the most value out of each session. If there is a relevant short reading, I will send that along, too, so you can think about the topic beforehand and formulate questions, if you have any. It is not homework! Just a helpful addition for those who might benefit from some pre-reading.

In the first part of each session I will deliver an interactive presentation via a webinar on the designated topic. No talking heads. Promise! I will solicit feedback from you and you will have opportunities to ask me questions throughout this first part.

In the second part of each session I will facilitate an open forum. You can ask questions of each other related to the topic. Don't worry, as a seasoned former teacher, I will make sure people who want to participate have the chance. And, hopefully you will also share information based on your personal experiences connected to the topic.

I am limiting the group to a maximum of 12 people so everyone has a chance to participate.

TBA

We will gather via phone and computer from the comfort of your own home or office. You will be able to simply click a link to access the visual portion and dial into a conference line for the audio/discussion portion.

If, on occasion, you do not have access to a computer, you can just participate via the conference line alone.

And stuff happens, I know. If you miss a session you will be able to access the recordings at your convenience.

See the chart directly above for the cost.

No, you can pay in 3 installments.

You can choose to just call in, if you would like. Though, I think most people will find having access to the visual portion will add value. Totally up to you.
