Tips, tricks, and strategies to manage ADHD abound. They often work. But what about when they don’t? with Jeff Copper

When they don’t work for you, should we assume you’re the problem? Or should we look a little deeper and question what might be the root cause of the problem? This is when insights on executive functioning reveal important fundamental truths that can Illuminate a path forward As an ADHD and attention coach with 15 years of experience, I’ve seen more lives transformed by problem- solving around the root cause of executive function challenges. These transformations come only through self-awareness, self-observation, and a shift in mindset, not by an endless search for a tip, trick, or strategy.

For example, in procrastination, there is a high correlation between uncertainty and avoidance. If something is ambiguous, then working in sprints or using a reward system won’t solve for the underlying fact that you are not clear on what to do. Focusing on solving the ambiguity is the path forward. Calling yourself a procrastinator is simply shaming yourself. You can’t manage ADHD through the lens of shame or blame.

In this webinar we’ll study Dr Russell Barkley’s executive function construct to reveal multiple life-changing insights like:

• Task Darwinism that explains why you don’t always do what is important
• The challenge of surrendering yourself to sleep.
• How your feelings often deceive you.
• Realizing that organization is a two-step process and most skip step one.
• Why chunking things down often doesn’t work, which is contradictory to what the Internet says.

Learning Objectives:

• To gain a working knowledge of Dr. Barkley’s executive function construct.
• To understand the impact of emotional self-regulation and thinking.
• To learn how behavior is a symptom of cognitive behavior driven by executive function impairment.
