Quick takeaways
- Being overly attached to a specific outcome can hinder the coaching process, so embracing a journey thinking mindset allows for more flexibility and curiosity in exploring experiences.

Deep dives
Journey thinking and its importance in embracing change
Journey thinking is crucial when it comes to embracing change, both for ourselves and for our clients. It involves recognizing that the process of change is not about a specific destination, but rather about the journey itself. While having goals and aspirations is important, being overly attached to a specific outcome can hinder the coaching process. ADHD barriers such as resistance to new awareness, difficulty taking action, and challenges in learning can actually be turned into valuable resources in the coaching process. Developing a coaching mindset, similar to the concept of growth mindset, is essential in journey thinking, allowing for flexibility and curiosity in exploring one's lived experiences.
