Has anyone tried career coaching specifically for ADHD? I am stuck in my career on a mid manager level and am thinking of investing into coaching but am not sure regular coaching can help with my challenges. Any recommendations?

I haven’t done this, but if you have insurance coverage for therapy, you may be able to get a career coach who has the right qualifications and billing approach for this to be covered.

That’s a good idea. My therapy has been covered.

Start your own business

adhdcoaching.com is pretty good, and I think they offer the first session free.

Thank you! I’ll check that out. Do you know how much the program is after the first session? Can’t find any information about it on the website

Try looking at upper positions job descriptions and start working towards that. Also change companies more frequently.

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house?

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
