Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD Tips on Pivoting in Your Career or Business
On this episode of Overcoming Distractions, we talk about a common buzzword lately and that's the topic of pivoting. You can call it pivoting, change of direction, or change of course. Whatever you want to term it, some of us are going to make a major change in our lives more than once.
For many with ADHD, we can get pretty good with this. But this podcast is a great discussion for anyone who is considering a major change in their life. You do not have to have ADHD to benefit from this discussion.
