ADHD: Who You Are vs. What You Do  
For many with ADHD, the elephant in the room is pressure... pressure to perform. Pressure defines what you want to be when you grow up. Pressure to do something in a way that is convenient for society. In this interview ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews MCC coach David Giwerc ( http://addca.com ). They make a distinction between "who" a person is versus "what" they do. They illuminate the inherent problem in defining who you are by over focusing on "what" you think you should do. They share their insight from years of coaching around the power of understanding "who" you are that helps define "why" you do it, which is like a compass pointing at "what" you do. This lens is powerful in casting yourself in a career and life that you were born to live.
