Attention Adults with AD/HD
Get Your Career In Gear!
Dear AD/HDer:
Does the current state of our economy have you worried about your career?
Lately I've been hearing the same concern from my clients and other adults with AD/HD: People are desperately trying to hang on to their jobs, or find a job after having been laid off.
You know first-hand that professionals with AD/HD encounter unique challenges in the workplace that can make it even more difficult to find -- or keep -- the perfect job.
You know that you have exceptional strengths and qualities that are of great value to your employer; and you also know that these assets can become easily overshadowed by your AD/HD challenges, such as trouble with time management, organization, or focus.
In the current economic climate, it's not enough to find a job that you enjoy, you also have to fight to keep it.

How do you stand out in a world where many people have similar credentials and experience?
The world of work is changing as fast as the technology driving it and to keep up we now have to develop a whole new approach to managing our careers.
Personal branding allows us to differentiate ourselves by authentically aligning with who we are with what we do, working on projects and seeking out opportunities that feel right because the objectives and goals are in line with the direction we want to go.
In this highly informative and resource-packed presentation, you'll walk away with concrete personal branding actions that will help you stand out and still be you. You'll also learn how to measure your online profile and raise that profile quickly and effectively.
In this session, you'll:

- Realize the influence of the Internet and how critical it is to build an online brand

Session #3
Managing Career Stress and Anxiety in an Uncertain Economy
with Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA
In these stressful times, those who can turn their anxiety into motivation will be most successful in their careers.
In this session, we'll discuss the positive role of anxiety and how to turn it around when excessive anxiety is shutting you down.
Success sometimes requires us to actively pursue our goals, whereas at other times the best approach is to wait until circumstances evolve or we can determine the best course of action. We'll discuss the concept of active waiting in which the person is engaged with what is happening, but is consciously choosing to hold off responding until the time is right.
In this session, you'll:
- Understand both the positive and negative aspects of anxiety
- Roll excessive anxiety back into the productive range
- Learn how to use "active waiting" techniques
