Support for Adults with Symptoms of A.D.D.

This is for adults who may have the symptoms of ADD or ADHD (Ad/HD). You do not have to be diagnosed officially, but your adult life and/or relationships are likely impacted by symptoms associated with AD/HD.

Most of the adults I meet only discovered these traits after seeking help for their child. Then the light bulb went off and they had the “Aha” moment. “So that’s why I have always struggled with x, y and z. Hmmmm.”

Adults with AD/HD usually face three conflicts: conflict within themselves, conflict with family and conflict with bosses. Many adults with AD/HD beat themselves up and never quite feel like they've arrived. Misunderstandings with spouses and bosses sabotage relationships and undermine success.

As a result, many adults with AD/HD are frustrated, but have no hope. We have experienced an alarming number of divorces related to problems associated
with ADD.

You were born to use your natural gifts, talents and passions. Whether you are four or forty, you were born with certain natural gifts, talents and passions. You have a distinct personality and the unique DNA to be one person and one person only—you, the genuine you.

Not somebody else. Not the person your parents or teachers or friends or society wants you to be. Not someone you are trying to be. Trying doesn’t work. It is only when you become the person you were born to be that you can do what you were born to do. Because who you are determines what you do.

Many of us get sidetracked by weaknesses and quirks that we just don’t understand. Once we understand the root causes of these obstacles, we can overcome them and stop sabotaging our own success. Maybe the real you has been buried under hurt, disappointment and disapproval. But we will find it.

My philosophy is very simple. Confidence, healthy relationships, purpose and life success are a natural outgrowth of being who you are made to be, and doing what you were born to do. That is my goal. Nothing more. Nothing less. Let’s take a look at your life and break it into four quadrants of 20 years each for simplicity.

QI: First 20 Years. Didn’t Know Any Better Period. Sure, maybe you'd go back and do college or high school differently. Water under the bridge. You're bright and adaptable so let's move forward.

QII: Second 20 Years. Self-Discovery Period. When you and I grew up, we were supposed to go to college and become happy, content adults. We were supposed to have this idyllic family life, but it doesn’t always turn out that way.

Those of us with a bit of an edge and the spirit to fight back gave some different pursuits a shot. We failed a bit, not because we didn't try, but because we didn't have the tools or the proper perspective.

QIII: The third 20 years. The Defining-Your-Life Period. If you’re lucky and ahead of the curve, you may have come to this point when you are 25 or 30 or 35. Others may not hit it until they are past 40. Either way, this is where we are now.

You’ve figured out that what you’ve been doing your entire adult life isn’t working. And now you know it’s not because you’re a failure—it’s because you simply are not wired to do what you’re doing. You are fighting nature and nature always wins! You have never understood just why you are different, and why you keep sabotaging your own success.

Unfortunately, this is also the point at which people often give up. They've experienced so much struggle over the previous 20 or 40 years—never being understood or finding their place, nothing really working—that they say, "Forget it." Some self-destruct, others just wallow through.

They come all this way, struggle through 90% of the process and then find the remaining 10% just too hard to tackle. Or they think they can't do it, that there is no way to do it. But this is exactly the time to keep going, to give it one more try. Because it is always most difficult right before you make it over that last hill.

You just need some tools, perspective and a plan. You CAN do it. I know this because I’ve done it.

You and I share the same dreams. This is what you and I want:
(1) A peaceful, harmonious life
(2) To spend time with our family and enjoy close relationships with those we love
(3) To be who we were born to be and do what we were meant to do.

We want to wake up and love our work, to feel energized by it, to own the ideas and see them come to fruition. And I bet most of you have big hearts and want to find purpose in helping people.

QIV: The “final” 20 Years. The Golden Years. To be honest, this period isn’t really relevant right now. Because your final twenty years will be determined NOT by what you did in your first 40, but what you do in your next 20.

So What Are You Going to Do Now? You've got these 20 prime years in front of you. And these next 20 are the best of your life. They are the impact years that will define your life.

Here's how I see it. You probably aren’t enjoying life a whole lot right now or you wouldn’t be reading this. As long as things are tough right now anyway, you may as well decide to go through some short-term struggles that lead you toward a larger, greater purpose. After all, it can’t be any worse than what you’re doing now, right? Is making this change easy? No. Is it a thrill? Absolutely.

Adults With A.D.D. Workshops
I want to invite you to come learn about yourself—what makes you tick, your gifts and passions and practical ways to use them—and how to turn obstacles into opportunities and reclaim your life.

Just to put you at ease, we are not going to meet in a stuffy meeting room. You can bring your laptop or anything else you want to be doing while we talk. We’re going to have a conversation with a small group of like-minded people—there is tremendous strength in helping each other. We’ll move around, we’ll be relaxed and casual. We’ll eat and take frequent breaks.


Miami and Virginia sessions are full. Please contact us to schedule sessions in your city. And watch for a National Adults with A.D.D. Meeting coming to a warm climate this coming January!
