9. A reflection on strategies
It is important to recognise that while you may struggle with certain things in your life people with ADHD have many strengths. Lots of famous people have ADHD, including Olympic athletes like Louis Smith (Olympic gymnast) and Michal Phelps (the swimmer), musicians (Dave Grohl for example), and business people (the person who developed Ikea is noted as having ADHD). They talk about their experiences of living with the condition and how having ADHD has helped them in lots of ways. Louis Smith talks about how his ADHD brain helps him to make split second decisions and succeed at his sport. Dave Grohl’s energy and enthusiasm has given him great drive to perform and create consistently through his life. Thinking outside the box can really help in business.
Here are some strengths that we have noticed in the people we have worked with who have a diagnosis of ADHD, which ones do you think apply to you?
