  • Simple and easy to impliment tips on
  • managing adult dyslexia.

I can't do that, I am dyslexic... Is what I used to say to myself ALL the time.

I used to rule my life by what I believed I couldn't do BECAUSE I have dyslexia.

I let this modest stop me from doing some many things, like learning to drive, and didn't apply for a grad scheme, and the BIGGEST one is, learning another language.

If you have listened to a few of these podcasts now then you will be aware that I am shattering at least one of these old beliefs that held me back by learning to speak Spanish.

What's my point here? Well... the reason why I want to address this topic and mindset in this episode is because I see it alot on my 1:1 dyslexia coaching clients, that these beliefs of "I can't" are hold them back from even trying. Even things from their childhood at school is where some of these beliefs started having been holding them back their entire adulthood.

What I have noticed in myself and others is that, sometimes we use these "I can't" phrase to protect ourselves from the humiliation of trying and failing.

There's no blame here, I get it, I've been there myself.

In this podcast I share with you the step by step process I go through with my 1:1 clients to break down what is actually at play here so that we can see what these "I can't" statements are really about and then challenge the perspective to grow a new mind set and find success, and hopefully... try something you've always wanted to do but never had the courage.

Key topics:

  • Identify these "I can't" statements
  • Understand where these "I can't" statements come from and what do they mean, and
  • How we can reframe "I can't" to build better mindset for success.

Keywords: dyslexia, dyslexic, mindset, self-limiting beliefs, personal growth, reframing, success, can-do attitude, dyslexia coaching, overcoming challenges
