Blog Day Afternoon- How my iPhone's Brain is Like my ADHD Brain (and how it's different)

The challenging parts:
- It requires recharging frequently
- It stops functioning and freezes up at the worst possible times
- It occasionally has memory issues
- I know the info I need’s in it, but I sometimes can’t access it


The good parts:
- It likes being plugged in
- It’s full of music
- Just about everything I need to function effectively is in there if I know how to find it
- The operating system is upgradeable
- It likes communicating with those using the same operating system
- Even when it chooses the wrong word, at least the spelling is correct


The BIG difference:
I’ll have this brain for life- no need for a new model!  Folks, we have the rest of our lives to get to know our brain wiring- when we’re soaring, when we’re stuck, what causes these things, and what we can do about it. Best to do it now and enjoy the benefits longer.

I became an ADHD coach because I am 100% certain that those of us with ADHD can learn to increase our understanding and awareness of our own brain wiring, thoughts, and actions/reactions, learn to manage ADHD, and live the lives we want.

Unlike an iPhone, a new operating system will not upload while we sleep. We need to do the work, and upgrade ourselves with clarity and purpose. THAT’s how we get where we want to go, and that’s what a successful ADHD coaching partnership can accomplish.

Tom, do you provide coaching via multi-media , like FaceTime or Skype? Or do you generally see your clients in person?
Thank you.

HI Patrick,

Sorry I missed your question and did not respond earlier. I have been travelling and taking a fair amount of time off during December.

I coach in-person, on Skype or phone, and can do Face Time as well. Let me know if you'd like to contact me re: having an initial consultation.

Thanks!

Tom

Great analogy! Another case for the importance, and in fact, the necessity for the human factor. I appreciate your coaching confidence, Tom!
