ADHD training for professional organisers
Why develop ADHD training? With ADHD running throughout my family I’ve developed a real affection for these often creative, energetic and sensitive people. Since setting up business in 2014 I’ve worked with clients with ADHD over long periods of time (learning from each one of them). I now work predominantly in the ADHD world, giving support and offering friendly expertise to my clients as well as delivering ADHD workshops and speaking at ADHD support groups.
Become an ADHD-friendly organiser
Are you ready to up your game with your ADHD clients? Clients often say what a relief it is to work with a PO who ‘gets’ their ADHD. They are looking for an organiser who understands where they’re coming from – and is equipped to support them.
Find out why your clients struggle to get organised
ADHD challenges are significant and can be extremely debilitating in life. With ADHD training you’ll improve your understanding of ADHD and its effect on Executive Function and you’ll be better equipped to help those clients. The tips you will learn will also benefit many of your other clients.
Know how to deal with the challenges your ADHD clients bring
ADHD training helps you find out how to minimise the challenges for your ADHD clients and maximise their ability to become more organised. You’ll learn to empower them to develop their problem-solving skills. Learn which pitfalls to avoid and how to maintain boundaries which benefit both you and your clients.
