Ask Dr B about a pre-requisite to developing executive function skills - 050

Hey ADDers! I'm so glad you could join me today because I'm celebrating. I have four special things to share with you as we move along in this episode. First, I have a gift for you. I am gifting you my mini course, The Magical Power of WINS, in the hopes that you will come to a better understanding of the power of WINS through the content in that course. Plus, I'd love to read your comments in the course itself, under each of the videos, as to what you learned and how you will be applying the information. You will find the link in the PDF transcript as well as in the episode description. I hope you will take action and claim your gift of the Magical Power of WINS. It will be available as a free gift until my next Ask Dr B episode releases on Thursday, 10/19/17.   Second, I am seriously considering re-branding the name of my show because I don't feel like I am talking about you harnessing your ADHD power, rather I am talking about topics that are beyond your ADHD, such as executive function skills, self-sabotaging behaviors, and how change can actually happen for you. So, the new name I am considering for my show is "Beyond Your ADHD with Dr B." I'd love to know your thoughts on the idea of my re-branding my show and the name I am considering, for the reasons I am considering it.  Third, I decided to make some changes to the enrollment process for my innovative program, ADDventures in Achievement. I've re-purposed the Waitlist, so that as soon as you get yourself on the Waitlist, I'll be reaching out to you to find out what your current challenges are and what your goals are, so we can determine if this program is right for you. And if it is, I will offer you the opportunity to enroll in the program right now, at the current pricing, instead of waiting until the public re-launch of this program near the end of this year, which will include a price increase due to the new content about executive function and EF skills that is formally being added to the program. All the current Workshops and Coaching Calls have these EF skills woven into them so current members don't have to wait to benefit from these life-changing skills.   So, two benefits to enrolling now is that 1) you don't have to wait to start learning the EF skills you are missing and can start improving the quality of your life, 2) you can freeze your membership costs at the lowest they will be. This program is definitely the place to be if you want help understanding what's been holding you back and want to learn the skills to break free of your stuckness and start living the life you've only wished for.  In the words of a current student of mine: "Tuesday was World Mental Health Day and October is Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia and ADHD Awareness Month. Couldn't help but take a moment to reflect back to a year ago at this time, when I first started this journey. Crazy to me to review what I had written in the intro I posted here – never could I have imagined what the following months would bring… Truly grateful for the opportunity to finally learn and understand the reasons behind the challenges I've experienced throughout my life. Prior to last year, I never would have thought to attribute these challenges to ADHD/EFD. I feel like I'm finally coming into consciousness and into my own with all that we've been learning here." In my own words: "It's a safe space to face yourself and your current challenges and limitations, and tell the truth about what you really want to be doing in your life. That way, I can help you to learn the skills you are missing so you can do whatever it is that makes your heart sing and become the person who can have that life." Fourth, there's one more special thing I want to share with you and that's connected with it being ADHD Awareness Month. I'm excited that this year's International Conference on ADHD is being co-hosted by ADDA and CHADD, for the first time in history. Instead of having to decide between attending the ADDA or CHADD conference, that decision has been removed. You can attend this one conference and benefit from what both organizations have been providing to the ADHD communities for years. So, if you are in the Atlanta GA area or able to get there, the conference is going to be held from November 9-12, and will bring together some of the top clinicians, educators and resources all in one place for you. Developing your Executive Function Skills and shifting your limiting beliefs is the fastest and most effective way to overcome ADHD limitations, find focus, gain confidence, and newfound freedom in your life!
