Innovator Brain types are a gift; understand it better with professional ADHD coaching.
By now most of us know about ADHD. We either have the diagnosis our self or know someone who does: our child, our spouse, our coworker, friend, boss, neighbor. We take medication, we go to therapy, feel shame and believe ourselves to be irrevocably incompetent. Some of us have anxiety disorder and depression. For these reasons and more, it is popular to think of ADHD as a curse. But is it really?
I have found it to be just the opposite. I have the advantage of time. Decades of research now exist on ADHD. I’ve worked with people from preschool to seniors in the last 40 years providing professional ADHD coaching. This knowledge and experience has led me to a more accurate description of and explanation for ADHD.
This will forever correct this misunderstanding and free people from a false and damaging label. For in spite of difficulty with staying focused, keeping organized, and managing behavior, people labeled with ADHD are the true innovators among us.
ADHD is the Innovator Brain type.
Many of the important advancements in science, medicine, the arts and technology came about through the accomplishments of people with ADHD. Whether we are talking about Einstein, Edison, Mozart, the Wright Brothers, Kennedy, Jobs or Gates. Hundreds of famous and not so famous others who were inventors and creators; more likely than not an innovator brain was responsible for the advancement.
And we need innovators!
I think we would all agree that our world today is in great need of innovative solutions to national and global problems. Yet, if we don’t stop belittling an entire segment of the population, we run the risk of killing off potential cures to diseases like cancers and multiple sclerosis. We could miss out on discovering diplomatic solutions to terrorism and wars of aggression. Or, we could stop leading the world in technology and lose our quest to secure cyberspace.
Innovator brain challenges
The challenges of having an innovator brain can be overcome. To live successfully in society, one needs to be reliable in the workplace and at home. You have to be reliable. This means showing up on time and meeting deadlines. You also need to be an active communicator. While at their best, creatively finding solutions to problems big and small, people with an innovator brain can also be procrastinators, bad communicators, time wasters, poor listeners, and at times lost in their own world. However, we now know that these issues can be vastly improved through professional ADHD coaching.
Living a better life with a little help
Nobody’s perfect. We all have our obstacles to overcome. Someone with ADHD may be overwhelmed at so many. But there’s a way to live a better, happier life with a little help. There’s no shame in pursuing professional ADHD coaching.
Professional coaches help teens and adults learn to manage their behavior in all kinds of situations whether at school, at home, or in the workplace. Staying focused and on task, planning and preparing, scheduling and keeping deadlines, are all necessary skills. Professional coaching can help you learn these skills. There’s no need to suffer alone. Coaching could transform your life; it already has for so many bright, brave individuals. You can be one of those people.
