Marina Piscolish joins Eric on the podcast this week to talk about leveraging strengths and owning the challenges. Marina is the president and founder of Mapping Change LLC, a small consulting business born of her passion for harnessing the transformative power of conflict to create positive changes for individuals, teams, and organizations. Being born in rural Pennsylvania as a coal-miner’s daughter and a grandchild of immigrants provided helpful preparation for her work, especially in Hawaii and the broader pacific. As she continues developing ways of working with culture, identities, sense-of-place, history, and trauma, her early struggle with her own undiagnosed ADHD was a defining influence on her career and life. Now, Marina focuses on making creative accommodations for her ‘limitations’ and leverages her neurodivergence as an asset for her business, her clients, and the people close to her. Learn more about Marina: Website: Mappingchange.com Email: Other Questions/Topics Answered in this Episode: [00:03:16] Marina shares her story about how she found ADHD reWired, her experience in the coaching groups, and her life growing up in a small town with a large family, all with similar challenges. [00:05:36] “Emotional pain is the distance between [...] your expectations [and] reality.” [00:07:59] Marina talks about the build up of shame and being unwilling to share or get help. [00:09:22] A relatable moment of overwhelm and avoiding the ‘pain of success.’ [00:11:29] What’s the difference between acceptance and embracing ADHD? [00:14:39] “That may be true, and I’m afraid that may be true, but what do I do about where I am?” [00:22:15] Eric and Marina have a discussion about “administrivia.” [00:23:19] Marina shares how she became curious about her ADHD and exploring how neurodivergence is the cause of her success.

After spending a career working in leadership development, she decided to start a consulting and coaching business that helps adults with learning disabilities and ADHD (just like her!) who have been struggling in their careers. Her business is called “Cape-Able Consulting”, creating it to help people navigate their day-to-day workloads so they feel supported so they can reach their highest potential!

Then, you’ll hear differences between best practices and best principles, ways to ask for what you need, and why knowing about her ADHD at a young age wasn’t necessarily an advantage. You’ll even hear Eric use one of his own accommodations in real time!

How did the self-advocacy skills from school transfer to the workplace? Why is it important to know yourself and your needs before disclosing ADHD? Without disclosing their ADHD, are there any suggestions for an employee to test the water before fully disclosing? How can employers support their employees who are neurodivergent? How can employers draw out their strengths? What does the boss do when they are the ones with ADHD? What was the most valuable accommodation Eric utilized in college?

In this episode, Eric is joined by Alumni member Laura Kane. Laura is a transplant from Boston living with her rescue dog in Delray Beach, Florida. Just prior to the pandemic, Laura discovered a love of nature photography and is incredibly grateful for this gift. Most days, she can be found taking pictures of birds, alligators, and other assorted wildlife. Her top bucket-list item is to go on a safari. Creating structure and sticking with it is a constant struggle for her, but she refuses to give up! Listen in as Eric and Laura work together to build her daily structure, the why behind the desire to create the structure, and how uncomfortable it can be to accept praise when sharing our joy. You’ll also hear about the significance and impact of accountability, how Laura’s passion gives her purpose, the anxiety of implementation and commitment, and understanding how the all-or-nothing mindset can actually get in the way. Laura’s Instagram: Where does the narrative of comparing oneself to others, not feeling good enough, stems from? How can you cue the “why” behind the routine? How easy is it to create back-up plans ahead of time versus in-the-moment? How is exercise helpful? What about online exercise classes? What barriers can get in the way of building habits/derailing our habits? How do you strengthen accountability? What’s the story behind “having” to ask for help? What’s the story behind believing we have to do things by ourselves? How do we get our goals met? How do we structure our day when we’re the only ones depending on the structure? How has the pandemic affected building habits and routines? Resources & Honorable Mentions:
