A Simple Strategy for Managing ADD

By ADD Coach Jennifer Koretsky

© Copyright 2003

As an ADD Coach, I usually begin my conversations with new

and potential clients by saying, “Tell me about yourself and

why you’re looking for coaching.” Most people answer with a

long list of their ADD challenges. Very few people answer

that they are looking to discover, enhance, or utilize their

strengths. This is a big part of coaching, and a part that

many people need a lot of help with.

Unfortunately, many ADDers spend too much of their time

focusing on what they think they do wrong. This is

understandable; as most of us have spent a lifetime learning

how to deal with attention inconsistency, impulsivity,

hyperactivity, emotional reactivity, and other challenges

that our ADD has presented. However, few of us actually

take time to appreciate our ability to manage these

challenges and bounce back from the difficult times. And

when we don’t balance the good stuff with the not-so-good

stuff, we can become frustrated, unmotivated, and unhappy.

Every single person in this world has strengths and

interests – things we do well and things we like to do.

Learning to focus some time on those strengths and interests

can help lift the spirits – and self-esteem – of ADDers.
