Attention Talk Radio

ADHD isn’t so much a deficit of attention but rather an executive function impairment. Self-awareness is an executive function. ADHD or not, self-awareness is highly correlated with success in life. Clearly, it is a big deal and something you should pay attention to. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) takes an in-depth look at self-awareness. He highlights its importance and its challenges, identifies other executive functions that conflict with it, and talks about the obvious realities invisible to most. In the end, you can’t manage anything you are not aware of; thus, if you have no awareness around awareness, it is hard to manage. Bottom line? If you have ADHD, this is a must for you.Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.Attention Talk Radio, hosted by Jeff Copper, attention and ADHD coach, is designed to help adults (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated to help them get unstuck and moving forward by opening their minds to pay attention to what works.
