In this podcast episode, hosts Ash and Cam discuss the third barrier of ADHD, which is learning. They emphasize how this barrier aligns with the stages of coaching: awareness, action, and learning. They also discuss how ‘pulling the learning forward’ is so hard with ADHD but necessary for sustained change and growth.
Cam addresses his concerns about the quality of coaching in the ADHD community, cautioning against quick-fix approaches and promoting a genuine coaching process. He emphasizes that like any good coaching engagement, coach training programs should have a robust experiential element.
Shifting to the topic of learning, the hosts share insights into the coaching journey, highlighting the importance of curiosity, detachment from outcomes, and client-focused engagement. Ash and Cam discuss how the third barrier can be the most difficult to overcome with false starts and dropped practices. They also share how learning is key to creating real change with ADHD.
They both share client stories of struggle and eventual nuggets of learning. They conclude by encouraging listeners to be wary of promises, fixed-time programs, and coaches who talk more than they listen.
