Reframing ADHD - The gift of a faster brain - with Peter Shankman

from Happy Space Podcast with Clare Kumar

From getting in trouble for talking too much in school to giving keynote speeches on stages all over the world, Peter Shankman has transformed what was once perceived as a challenge into one of his many strengths. Here, we explore Peter’s version of an ADHD brain, the source of Peter’s drive and spirit, and what to make of a diagnosis. Peter also shares his love of order and secrets to staying focused where skydiving and a Peloton addiction take centre stage. Peter closes with an inspiring invitation for anyone with ADHD. As a successful entrepreneur, Peter is known for his business acumen, customer insight and economic foresight. Author of five best-selling books, including “Faster Than Normal”, he is also an advocate for the neurodiverse and the neurodiverse economy. His latest auto-biographical book is designed to empower ADHD kids. You’ll hear Peter both on news channels and serving as a global brand ambassador. And, you might even see him jumping from a plane.CHAPTERS00:05:00 The value of being neurodivergent00:07:46 Where did your spirit come from?00:12:43 The value of a diagnosis00:15:24 The value of creating order00:20:00 What about rest & recovery at work?00:23:46 Challenges in education00:26:23  The Google NEU Project - creating space for every mind to shine00:28:11 "The boy with the faster brain"00:30:33 Faster than normal LINKSNAPO - National Association of Productivity and Organizing ProfessionalsHARO - Help a Reporter OutCisionProfnetThe Google NEU Project"The boy with the faster brain" - US link"The boy with the faster brain" - Canada linkInstitute for Challenging DisorganizationIMAGE CREDITS (see images on Youtube video)Clare with the bandaged finger at the hospital - credit Clare KumarFaster Than Normal - credit Goodreadsorganized closet - credit Peter’s InstagramPeter in exercise gear - credit Peter’s InstagramCurb cut - image To Be Reel - canva"The boy with the faster brain" book cover - credit Goodreads#productivityISpersonal - credit Clare Kumar#nevermindthelabels - credit Clare Kumar#diagnosisisprivilege - credit Clare KumarLearn more about and follow guest(s):InstagramYoutubeTwitterLinkedInWebsite😀😃😄😁😆Highly sensitive executive coach and productivity catalyst, Clare Kumar, explores the intersection of productivity and inclusivity continually asking how can we invite the richest contribution from all.
