In today’s episode, we’re talking to Renee Crook.
Renee is a veteran ADHD coach who works with adult clients both one-on-one and in groups. She sits on the board of directors for ADDA and is the chair of their virtual support groups. She also teaches for RenaFi, a financial education program for ADHDers, and trains coaches as part of the faculty of the ADHD Coach Academy.
In this episode, Renee shares her story and discusses how her struggles with ADHD led to her leaving teaching and becoming an ADHD coach. Along the way we discuss why clear expectations matter so much, how prioritization struggles can affect performance, the importance of standing up for ourselves, why ADHDers so often take on too much, the power of planting seeds, and the healing hidden of helping others.

In today's episode, I share a strategy I use to help kids get their homework done. (I use it to help adults get stuff done, too!)
It involves assessing in advance the time and effort/energy required to do each homework assignment (or part of the task) and then using the information to make decisions about prioritization and sequencing. So, not only dies it help kids attack the task at hand, but it build executive functioning skill, too!
