Looking for ADHD coaching and mentoring.

[Bobby1985]

Hi I am 37yo male, recently diagnosed with adult ADHD. On 10mg a day Ritalin treatment since 6 months. I want to pursue my dream career and to become a professional DJ therefore I'm looking for somebody who could lead me as a ADHD coach in that process. I will be thankful for any relevant info!

Hi Bobby1985~

Thanks for writing the group.

An ADHD coach could really help you pursue your dream job. Check out that section at the Additude Magazine.

Http://additudemag.com and then go to the search box at upper right and type in ADHD coaches. There is a listing and it will show credentials, experience, etc

Hope this helps.

Best regards~

I used to run a small club and dj when younger . Now I’m 48, out of work , lost , and just want a coach to help me get my shit together . I’ve become so negative and doubtful about life . Can adhd cause this ?? I’m un medicated ( tried stimulants that just made me super anxious ) and soon to try bupropion

[Bobby1985 in reply to Colls47]

yes I would recommend reading couple of books on ADHD. Stimulant medication works for me so far however right dosage is the key. Depression is a part of ADHD journey as I'm aware so hopefully you can menage getting better. Wish you can find a good balance soon! Take care!

Hey Bobby, it’s Bobbie Laine (Lainey), diagnosed on my 48th birthday. 🤷‍♀️ Since then I have made leaps and bounds in my new un standing in all my “why’s “. You totally can do anything you want to accomplish and a DJ is a awesome area to get into! I, like other ADHD coaches can definitely help you achieve your goals! 🙌🏼

Hi! Thanks for your reply and uplifting tone. Are you an ADHD coach yourself too? Is this what you wrote?

Check out the podcast "I Have ADHD with Kristin Carder" She has a podcast with Ned Hallowell as a guest where he (who invented ADHD coaching) tells her that he thinks group coaching is better than 1-on-1 coaching (and not just cuz it's cheaper). Kristin Carder has a program called "Focused" which I'm considering, but I have not started. She just did a whole series of podcasts for entrepreneurs.

Besides group coaching, I also recommend some Group Therapy (Are you an Anjuna family fan?)

Hi Bobby1985! ADHD coaches can have outstanding results. I am friends with and highly recommend Max Lawrence. He's an ADHD business coach (whereas you'll find ADHD life coaches, etc.) so it's right up your alley. He's great at helping you thrive with your ADHD. You can check him out at: maxlawrence.co/

I'm wishing you all the best!!!
