Alex Jackman-Wheitner is an expert in creating systems that cater to the ADHD brain. At Oberlin College, she co-led an executive function tutoring program and currently helps entrepreneurs work with their unique brains to improve productivity and make more money in business.
In this episode, we talk about the nuances of ADHD and the challenges of pursuing a diagnosis. Alex discusses how often neurodiversity goes unrecognized for generations within a family and that it may not be until one family member is diagnosed that others realize they could also benefit from the support that comes with understanding how their own brains work, too.
We explore how executive functioning skills impact daily life in terms of emotional regulation and task initiation, and Alex shares some tools, tips and tricks for navigating the challenges that arise when ADHD or other brain functioning differences come into play at home.
Whether you have your own diagnosis, the parent of someone with ADHD or other neurodivergence or an entrepreneur who could use some new strategies or different ways of working on and in your business, Alex can help you create an environment where you can thrive. Listen for her practical advice and encouragement that you're not broken, neither is your family or your business. Rather, you are uniquely equipped to enhance the world YOUR way.
