Identify Your Strengths

Identify Your Strengths and Make Them Stronger (3448)

ADHD Education

by David Giwerc, MCC, Founder and President, ADD Coach Academy

We live in a performance-oriented world. It’s also a world where too much emphasis is placed on identifying a person’s weaknesses and then focusing on improving the performance of those weaknesses.

This negative focus can take its toll on a person’s innate strengths, which may be downplayed or overlooked in the quest for “improvement.”

Introduction: ADHD Coaching (318)

ADHD Education

Hello my name is David Giwerc. I am the Founder and President of the ADD Coach Academy. Since becoming a coach in 1994, I have been privileged and honored to witness thousands of adults and families with AD/HD take amazing leaps and bounds to become more fulfilled human beings.

This only can begin to happen when you become educated about your own ADHD. I don’t mean a general, textbook education of ADHD with medical language about the brain and the corresponding imbalance of neurochemicals. Unfortunately, that is how most health care professionals may have explained ADHD to you.

The kind of education that will empower people with ADHD to move forward is the kind of customized, individualized education that encourages you to explore and discover the specific situations where your own impairing challenges (inattention, impulsivity and hyper activity) of ADHD have impeded your ability to move forward.

To find out how you can get educated about your own ADHD in powerful proven ways, please go to Simply ADHD Program.

Although you know these experiences exist, you have not been able to conjure them for a long time.

You have the ability to bring back these events to yourself at any time, but the knowledge of how to do so is buried in the depths of your subconscious.

You have been totally unaware of its existence.

She never let him use his ADHD to keep him down.

Man Overwhelmed by ADHD signs and symptoms

ADHD Signs & Symptoms (855)

ADHD Education

We know education is the first essential step in the process of learning how to manage the individual challenges of ADHD. ADD coaching builds hope by educating clients about their own ADHD.

Almost all individuals with ADHD come to a coaching session needing to learn more about their own ADHD as well as get a clear understanding of ADHD in general. This is a direct result of the misinformation disseminated by the media and the lack of well trained clinicians and health care professionals who have the knowledge and ability to clearly explain what ADHD is and how in manifests in its different forms.
