The neurodiverse brain often struggles with the concept of Time. It can feel like an ill-defined, amorphous blob. Negative emotions, built over years and years of “not getting it right” create disdain for the process and concept of “time management.”

In this interactive presentation, Carol will illustrate:

• The #1 mistake most entrepreneurs make when trying to manage their time more effectively, and what to do instead;
• How seemingly unrelated factors contribute far more than you might think to managing your time effectively;
• How the Productivity Success Cake process creates fun, ease and flow to an otherwise endless list of what you “should” be doing so that you ACTUALLY do something differently - and achieve different results.

If you have tried, essentially your whole life, to change your habits, and you believe it's highly unlikely you ever will (and you still desire to change them), this presentation is for you.

Learn how to offset the negative and leverage the positive aspects of ADHD to dramatically improve your life and business 

Our bodies are magicial machines and while sometimes it creates some of our biggest challenges - there are certain ways to find ways to calm ourselves by using our personal reset buttons.  As humans when find and are able to use our reset buttons to calm ourselves assist the frustrations to disappear and learn better how to comtrol ourselves.  

Being Neurodiverse presents some unique Opportunities and Challenges!

• Identify some of your Superpowers
• Recognize what is your Kryptonite
• Find a way to Neutralize your challenges by using your Superpowers!

How ADHD shows up in a direct sales business (both the good ways and the less productive ways) can impact how quickly someone achieves success. I will share some simple techniques that get me back on track when I'm having moments of dys-focus.

Do you struggle with finding the clients you want to work with? Or maybe you constantly draw in the PITA clients (the Pain In The…rear end) and you don't understand why.

Do you feel like you are all over the place with your brand, chasing trends and going with whatever looks good in the moment? Do you have a team that each seem to have their own ideas of what your business's public face looks like, and no clear vision to get everyone on the same page?

Either you are your own client, or you really are not. How do you figure out which one you fit, and use that to your advantage? Jenny Ferguson talks about how to identify your general client type, and how to lean into that in a way that feels genuine and authentic to yourself and your business.

People with ADHD have paradoxical traits, expressing them as both their superpowers and kryptonite. Leaders struggle to know how to help when an unpredictable, negative quality shows up for a person with ADHD who needs to produce results consistently. In this session, Katherine Lizardo shares how navigating ADHD in business with compassion can change the narrative of neurodiversity by embracing the challenges and harnessing the strengths of people with ADHD. 

The three main takeaways from her talk:

1. 1 simple interactive activity the audience can implement today to help motivate a person with ADHD to complete a task.
2. The 3 areas that affect the productivity of a person with ADHD every business leader must understand to maximize that person’s potential.
3. Essential tools every business leader can implement to show compassion to people with ADHD that will ignite their superpowers.

The average child with ADHD hears 20,000 pieces of negative feedback by the time they are ten. For some of us, our internal dialogue constantly criticizes every shortcoming we fixate on. It is normal to carry the beliefs we have about ourselves into adulthood.

Most of our internal dialogue is a collection of blanket statements that are not true when challenged. The Paradigm Makeover was designed to challenge those blanket statements. Change your thoughts, and you will change your life.

After struggling with the standard treatment for ADHD and dyslexia my entire life, I turned to diverse methods for ways to focus and navigate conventional society.  I studied traditional meditation at the Edgar Casey Institute, lived and studied with Buddhist nuns in India, trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming plus multiple non-traditional forms of meditation.  Science continues to show the supportive effects of meditation on the brain.  Binaural meditations bring about these positive effects more quickly than traditional meditation, helping the listener achieve a state of calm alertness and an increased ability to focus and act on the task at hand.

When we stop trying to fit into the “normal box,” we free up our resources of time, money, and emotional currency, enabling us to see what's outside of it and explore the areas where we flourish. The natural world around us is nonstatic and flows with texture, just like we do. 

Our neurodiversity enables us to make connections that create innovative ideas and solutions when we have the freedom to do so. You create that freedom by blowing up the “normal box” and embracing what might seem radical to others with acceptance of how you experience the world. 

Blowing up the "normal box" requires three simple steps, which I will guide you towards. 1. Pivot your thoughts. 2. Empower your personal process 3. Gain out-of-the-box support

I will talk about ADHD specifically, but I'm confident much of it will apply to & be useful to other atypicals.

Many people have a lot of misconceptions about ADHD.  I will speak briefly about some of them, then focus on the advantages of this creative & energetic superpower.

Finally, & most importantly I'll offer specific,  immediately actionable strategies for leveraging & getting the most from its power & ways to manage some of its challenges.

If you're not ADHD, don't worry,  these techniques work for neuro-ordinarys & I strongly suspect for other atypicals too;-)

If you are atypical & choose to apply them,  I'd love to hear about your results so I can improve them for your neurotype:-)
