Unlock Success with ADHD

11/21/23 • 8 min

In this compelling episode of ADHD Support Talk, seasoned productivity coach and co-host Lynne Edris dives into a crucial topic for unlocking success with ADHD: the intricate relationship between success and failure. Drawing from her personal journey and decades of professional experience, Lynne challenges the conventional notion that "failure" stands in direct opposition to "success." Instead, she invites listeners to view failure as an essential building block on the path to their own success and achievement. By examining our tendency to fixate on what isn't going well, Lynne reveals how valuable lessons often remain hidden within these experiences. She emphasizes that the journey toward successful, lasting change is seldom a linear one; but full of hurdles, setbacks, and detours. These very challenges, Lynne argues, are instrumental in solidifying personal growth and transformation on the way to unlocking success. True failure, she suggests, lies in the refusal to learn when circumstances don't align with our plans—an opportunity for growth squandered. This episode introduces a profound shift from the traditional success-versus-failure mindset to one that centers on continuous learning. It forms a core element of Lynne's daily setup and review process, a key feature of her Unleashed 90-day Time Management program: Listeners are invited to reflect on their day and consider the insights gained or rekindled. By adopting a perspective of growth and learning, Lynne asserts that individuals with ADHD can transform their journeys in remarkable ways, impacting every aspect of their pursuit of a more fulfilling life.
