ADHD Center for Success

Next week I will send two Special Announcements. The first is that my NEW website will go LIVE. I have needed a website for some time so I recently spent a weekend building the new site. My blogsite will continue to post articles, research and such while the NEW website will host information regarding my coaching packages, teleclasses & seminars and eventual products in the works.

The second announcement is that I have totally revised of my coaching packages. In the announcement I will unveil new group coaching options, revised individual coaching options and a new membership program filled with several benefits you’ll enjoy.

Stay tuned for that announcement next week.

I recently learned of a book: “A Whole New Mind – Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the World.” In a chapter called “Symphony,” the author estimates that, “self-made millionaires are four times more likely than the rest of the population to be dyslexic. Why Dyslexics struggle with L-Directed (left brained) Thinking and the linear, sequential, alphabetic reasoning at its core. But as with a blind person who develops a more acute sense of hearing, a dyslexic’s difficulties in one area lead him to acquire outsized ability in others. As Sally Shaywitz, a Yale neuroscientist and specialist in Dyslexia, writes, “Dyslexics think differently. They are intuitive and excel at problem-solving, seeing the big picture, and simplifying . . . . They are poor rote reciters, but inspired visionaries.”

In my personal reading and research of successful adults with ADHD I find that several of the most successful adults with ADHD are also Dyslexic. Now that is certainly not to say that Dyslexia is a prerequisite for success but it appears the combination can be a profitable combination that some adults take to the bank.

Coach Rudy Rodriguez will present a seminar to the Annual NASW-NC Fall Conference on November 21 in Asheville, NC. The topic of his presentation is “ADD at Work: Maximizing Your Effectiveness”.
