Listen Later

Discover how former Harlem Globetrotters athletic trainer turned business coach, Michael Dickey, unravels his personal journey with ADHD—a revelation sparked by his son's experiences. Despite initial pushbacks from healthcare professionals, Michael sought a diagnosis that ultimately shed light on the struggles he faced throughout his career and life. His story is both enlightening and empowering as we uncover how recognizing and embracing ADHD can transform not just personal lives but also entrepreneurial paths, aligning them with inherent strengths and passions.

Join us as we explore the nuanced transition Michael experienced moving from the adrenaline-fueled world of athletic training to a more introspective role of coaching entrepreneurs with ADHD. We discuss the identity shifts faced by those stepping away from dynamic careers due to chronic illness or approaching retirement. Michael shares insights on how to turn these challenges into opportunities, advocating for the importance of self-awareness and leveraging strengths to guide the next generation of athletes and coaches.

In this enlightening episode, we dive into understanding one's unique problem-solving style and conquering executive dysfunction using the conative part of the mind. Learn from Michael about the four action modes that define problem-solving approaches and how to embrace your distinct style to boost productivity and avoid burnout. Tune in for practical strategies on organizing tasks by energy levels and finding balance through joy and extracurricular pursuits, ensuring a successful and fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.
