It’s a radical act to unapologetically design for strengths in a world that focuses on remedying deficits. It’s also the secret sauce when it comes to an authentic and fulfilling life. We all dream of rich support ecosystems that are effortless to maintain. Design thinking is an approach almost tailor-made for ADHD brains to help us get there!
In this webinar, executive & ADHD coach Frankie Berkoben will introduce what design thinking is, how to put theory into practice, and outline tools that create agency, momentum and freedom from decision fatigue.
We’ll cover common pitfalls and misconceptions around iterative problem-solving, how executive functions impact negativity bias, and why self-advocacy is a force multiplier in all areas of your life. Bring your favorite note-taking implements and prepare for a fun session!
Learning Objectives:
- How to leverage design thinking to engineer systems and structures that support the way your brain works best
- Apply the scientific method and iterative problem-solving to nudge analysis paralysis out of the way
- How generating your own User Manual acts as a catalyst for reliably getting into a flow state
