The NBD Podcast

This is the third episode of the a new series entitled: "So you have a _______________ with ADHD..."
 
 On this episode we are talking about  employees   and ADHD from what you should know about your employee with ADHD to how you can help support your employees with ADHD. And believe me... I've had many bosses who got it right and many who got it wrong... and you don't want to miss my broom story!

 Here is what is covered in today's episode:
 
 What You Should Know:
 
 1) Your ADHD Employees do try to stay organized and meet deadlines
 2) Your ADHD Employees have a knack for remembering tiny details to projects, but may overlook tiny details in their own work 
 3) Your ADHD Employees have ideas that may come off as them being unhappy with the way things are, but they really just have a different perspective

 How You Can Help Support:

1) Have an open mind: listen to their ideas and try them out

2) Give Timely Feedback

3) Give written instructions over verbal instructions

4) Be willing to give on some things and don’t forget that ADHD is recognized under the American With Disabilities Act!

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is something that haunts a lot of ADHDers' brains. I like to think of it as a little ghost that boos me when I'm rejected or think I'm going to be rejected. It's tiny little "BOO" is mighty triggering my nervous system to go into hyperdrive.  If you want to learn more about this little ghost I like to call RSD, this episode is for you.

...no we aren't chatting about having someone stand in for you when your ADHD paralysis kicks in.  Today's episode is all about one thing I find that helps me get things done when I just can't seem to find motivation or when my time-blindness kicks in and that's having someone either do the task with me or be in the same area. 

And to help you out (in case you don't have anyone who can come do things with you) I'm releasing some new body-doubling videos over on Instagram to help you get through the mundane tasks of life.. laundry anyone? 

You can find the videos and more on instagram: @theNBDPodcast

What You Should Know:

2) Your ADHD Friends don't think you are boring; they do care about what you are saying

2) Send friendly reminders to your ADHD Friends

4) Give them enough details about an event to ease their hypothetical rejections or assurance that you aren't rejecting Your ADHD Friends to make sure they know you aren't rejecting them.
5) Let them know what events are important to you and don't take your ADHD Friend's energy levels personally
6) Communicate your needs in a gentle way.

It's that time of year where everyone seems a little confused as to what day it is (unless you are working in the real estate legal field... or family law I hear) and what we are supposed to be doing. Do you know that it's partially to blame on your brain chemistry? Find out how on today's quick episode.

Also... are you feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of mixed messages on how you should be approaching the new year? Do you lose weight? Do you not lose weight? Do you wait to start pursuing your 2022 goals on Jan 1 or do it now?  Honestly it all makes me want to scream... and that's why I also address this on today's episode too!
