Lyt til ADHD Crash Course

Today I’m chatting with Shell Mendelson, an author and career coach who teaches how you can find the right career path with ADHD. She helps multi-passionate professionals discover how to explore their interests and consider essential career factors on their journey to unlock their career path. In this podcast, we discuss : * Challenges for college students in early career planning * How to identify your skills, goals, needs and accommodation * Fields of fascination – those areas of interest that have been neglected in the past, but can be explored now * Challenges of multi passionate individuals and the importance of prioritizing interests and taking action * How to recognize and overcome the "safekeeping self" by asking questions and exploring you possibilities * How late-diagnosed and/ or older clients may face more challenges due to past experiences, current responsibilities and negative self talk * How to advocate for yourself throughout the interview process and beyond How to reach Shell: https://passiontocareer.com

Sometimes when we struggle, we find ourselves believing the same old "stories" that have been bouncing around in our heads for years. Things like: "I always drop the ball" "I'm such a disaster" "I don't trust myself to make changes". Not only do these shame-based stories wear us down, they move us far away from problem solving. That's because in order to effectively solve problems, we need to be open and curious. Self judgment is just the opposite of that!  Self judgment doesn't attempt to look for answers because it thinks it already has them! If you have these kind of negative stories on repeat, they may be preventing you from actually finding the strategies that will work for your brain! .  In this episode of ADHD Crash Course, I talk about how my client's old stories impacted her and how she challenged those stories. As a returning college student with a bumpy academic past, she had some stories to push back on when she got behind in her assignments.  I'll also talk about what happened next; how working on challenges like executive functioning skills and managing her overwhelm became much more doable once her brain moved off of the self criticism and into problem solving!
