Do you ever try to explain something in a meeting,
but it doesn’t come out as clearly as you want it to?

You over-explain.
You're not concise. 
Or you leave the meeting overthinking:

“I should have said that better.”

Most people assume they just need "more practice"
That’s rarely the problem.

It's actually about a lack of structure.
And how your brain responds to pressure. 

That's why I work with professionals who want 
to be seen as more clear, confident, and credible.

(especially in high-stakes situations)

So far, I’ve coached 330+ professionals with a 99% success rate. 

Many are managers, directors, executives, and founders. 
People in positions where clarity matters. 

Our work focuses on 3 things:

1.) Clear, concise speaking on the spot

2.) Confidence and composure under pressure

3.) Executive presence in important situations

Everything is customized and built around 
the real-life meetings, presentations, and 
conversations you'd like to speak better in. 

If crystal clear speaking would be helpful 
for you and your professional life,

Have you heard about the 7 
deadly sins of speaking? 💀

1. Gossiping
2. Judging
3. Negativity
4. Complaining
5. Excuses
6. Lying
7. Dogmatism

In the video, I added 7 silly 
(& less deadly) examples of each. 

They're all about big arms 😅

This is from Julien Treasure's famous TED talk: 
How to Speak so that People Want to Listen

Which deadly sin are you making?

And if you’re a perfect angel:

Which one do others do that annoys you the most?

Speak clearly and confidently under pressure in 90 days (guaranteed) / World Class Certified Speaking Coach / 3x Bestselling Author / TEDx Speaker / 330+ clients coached

Loud voices get attention.
But calm clarity creates real success.

Today, many professionals want to stand out. 

But they're going about it the wrong way. 

They speak quickly.
They give long answers. 
They don't allow space for silence. 

This urgency can get you attention, 

but it's the wrong kind of attention. 

And it often scrambles your thoughts and weakens your message.

The people who stay calm under pressure 
and speak clearly on the spot...

Are the ones who've learned to balance peace with power. 

What are they doing?

→ Staying composed
→ Controlling their pace 
→ Starting points with clarity
→ Finishing points with authority
→ Listening fully before responding

They don’t treat these as speaking 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴.

They treat them as speaking 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴.

And the people around them feel the difference.

Do you think you've learned to balance peace with power?

No one listened to my stories 
UNTIL I started adding this 1 thing: 

Lines of dialogue. 

One of the stories I tell is about a former piano student of mine.

He was struggling playing in front of people
and wanted to quit his lessons. 

Version 1 (before using dialogue):

Andrew came to me after a lesson.
He wanted to quit because he didn’t like playing in front of people.  

Version 2 (using dialogue)

Andrew came to me after a lesson and said:

"I suck at piano. 
I just can’t play good in front of people. 

I'm hopeless, and I wanna quit.” 

Do you see the difference? 

On top of all the clarity and confidence work 
I do with clients, storytelling is another fun 
thing that we'll sometimes add in.

Helping leaders & teams communicate with clarity & confidence 🏆 World Class Certified Speaking Coach / 3x Bestselling Author / TEDx Speaker / Trusted by leaders at Amazon, Microsoft, & More

Welcome, I appreciate you being here. Quick question - can you relate to any of these?

→ You don't always explain your points clearly and concisely.
→ You sometimes feel nervous when speaking or presenting to groups.
→ You don't feel as confident in difficult situations (or around certain people).

But what if you could make these 3 changes?

1) Learn to speak with unshakeable confidence
2) Master charisma to captivate any audience
3) Learn to organize and articulate your thoughts clearly and concisely 

(Especially on the spot or in high pressure situations)

If you do, you could gain:

— The ability to stay calm under pressure
— The power to own the room when speaking
— Increased respect from everyone you meet 
— A strong reputation in your company and industry 
— Open doors to new career/business opportunities

There are 3 key parts of my coaching program: 

1.) Personalized 1-on-1 coaching sessions tailored to your needs
2.) Step-by-step weekly plans to ensure constant improvement

Sometimes you have to look back

and remember how far you’ve come…

Even if it’s just passport photos. 😅 

-

P.S. How much do you look
like 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 passport photo?

No alternative text description for this image

One of my clients was a VP leading 200 people.
Sharp guy. Good at his job. 
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘀...

→ He’d get interrupted sometimes.
→ His ideas wouldn’t always land.

He told me:

“I know I’m great at what I do, but I'm not 
sure if I always come across that way.”

We worked together on structure, pacing, and brevity.

→ It was like putting his communication on a diet.
→ We trimmed the ramble fat and made him lean.

(His speaking now has visible abs)

1 month in, his COO told him:

“You’ve been coming across better in 
meetings lately. People are noticing.”

It’s not about saying more.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Because being great at what you do isn’t enough.

You have to be able to communicate it.

Do you agree?

How I removed filler words for good
(and how you can too)

3 Proven Techniques:

1.) Speak in shorter sentences. 

Long, run-on sentences 
= harder to control 
= more filler words 

2.) Slow your speaking pace. 

Faster speech 
= harder to control 
= more filler words 

3.) Proper breathing. 

At the end of your sentence, 
take a breath and inhale.
Then speak as you exhale. 

This forces you to pause more.

Anyone can remove their filler words. 
I've seen it with hundreds of clients over the years. 

That means you can too.

Which filler word do you use the most?

My client saw my post 
about her yesterday and
sent me a message...

When you work with awesome people, 
they always want to give 𝘺𝘰𝘶 a lot of credit. 

And you always want to give 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 a lot of credit.  

Especially when you work with 
kind, genuine humans (like this client)

It's pretty wholesome. 

Now when it comes to confidence, 

Even people like this in senior 
positions can still have challenges. 

I see it daily. 

So if you've ever thought: 

"I'm experienced. I should feel more confident." 

You are not alone.
And you can always get better. 

I'm rooting for you.

Once I stopped making this communication mistake, 
everybody started listening to me more. 

What was it? 

Using complicated/fancy words. 

Here’s why:

Studies show people consider messages 
more honest and trustworthy when a person 
uses simple instead of complicated words. 

This means if you use simpler language:

There’s a greater chance people will believe you. 

And buy into what you're saying. 

It also takes less brain power for your listeners to understand you.

So you’re doing everyone a favour by 
making it easier to absorb your message. 

I give an example of complicated vs. simple in the video. 

If you think you should be using big words
and developing a complex vocabulary...

There are better ways to spend your time. 

You’d be better off using that time learning 
to explain things in a simple, clear way. 

Have you ever thought "I need a bigger vocabulary?"

This 1 thing I learned makes me 
immediately sound more credible
any time I speak.

(Especially in high pressure situations)

It’s strategic pausing. Which is: 

1.) Pausing to gather your thoughts
2.) Pausing after saying something important. 

But I used to be TERRIBLE at this.

One day after giving an update in a team meeting,
my boss looked at me with a dead stare and said:

“Ty, slow down. You don’t get any prizes for finishing quickly.” 

I was incredibly embarrassed, but he was right. 

I needed to slow down and pause more. 

A well-timed pause does 3 things:

1.) Shows a high level of composure. 
2.) Gives your listeners time to absorb what you’re saying.
3.) Makes your words land with more weight. 

Silence is not weakness. It’s emphasis. 

It reminds me of a quote from Mozart: 

"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between."

Agree?

(Embarrassing) When I was 8 years old, I used 
to climb trees to avoid talking to people.

Not for fun. To hide.

I was painfully shy.

Afraid of conversations.
Afraid of speaking up.
Afraid of being seen.

Fast forward a few years…

I was throwing up before meetings at my first corporate job.

Until 1 moment changed everything.

I learned something that would 
genuinely change my life forever. 

It's how I went from being AFRAID to speak...

To TEACHING people to speak for a living. 

I share the full story in this video.

If you’ve ever felt nervous speaking.
If you’ve ever replayed conversations in your head.
If you’ve ever asked yourself "Why am I like this?"

This will hit close to home.

"How do you help me build my confidence?"
There's a reason this is on my FAQ page. 

Think of your brain like a computer. 

Over time, different 'programs' get installed in your brain…

that cause you to think, feel, and speak a certain way. 

So if you’re confident in certain situations
but less confident in others, there are programs 
in your brain that are causing this. 

(Same goes with overthinking, doubt, etc.)

Most people think they can fix this by:

1.) Getting a ton of tips and tricks 

2.) Just practicing a lot

Most coaches will teach you that way as well.

But the problem is:

It’s like trying to add new software to a computer 
when you haven’t removed the bugs. 

That's why we need to:

1.) Uninstall the programs that are holding you back.

2.) Install new ones that help you feel more confident. 

We do this using neuroscience-backed techniques to reprogram your subconscious mind. (that fun nerdy stuff)

Which is kind of like reprogramming 
your system so it runs smoothly.

This is what allows you to overcome 

the nerves, doubt, overthinking...

And feel more

confident, calm, and in control when you speak. 

Have you ever thought of your brain like a computer?

Day 1: Terrible workplace environment. 
Stressed, overwhelmed.
Unclear communication. 

Day 60: Landed new job. 
Optimistic, excited. 
Clear, structured communication. 

Some of the changes we've seen:

→ Enhanced clarity when explaining points
→ Stronger, more confident nonverbal presence 
→ Large reduction in filler words and softeners 
→ Less doubt and overthinking about what to say 
→ Long answers are now tight and concise 

There's still some work to be done, 

But this client has made a lot of progress. 

Enough progress to rock those tough 
interviews and land the job she wanted. 

Can you remember the last time you wanted 
a fresh start and were applying for jobs?

And then you finally got the role you were hoping for?

I learned this weird thing about head 

position that changes how people see you.

If your head is straight,
you'll be seen as more firm. 

But if your head is titled, 
you'll be seen as more empathetic. 

If you're a communication nerd like me, there are studies published in journals like 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 and 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 that dive more into this. 

Tilting the head lowers perceived dominance.

And significantly increases ratings of: 

- Warmth
- Trustworthiness 
- Empathy

A lot of empathetic people do this tilt without realizing. 

Do you think you're one of them?

If you hate leaving meetings thinking 
"I should've said that better"...

Do something about it. 

Learn to: 

➙ Organize your thoughts
➙ Articulate them clearly 
➙ Stay calm under pressure

No reason to keep replaying conversations in your head.

You can change how you speak.  

These are learnable skills. 

So if you hate second guessing or overthinking 
about what to say or how to say it

Do something about it.

You don’t have to struggle with 
something you can improve.

Agree?

If you overthink what to say 
in meetings or presentations,
this can change everything.

Before you speak, ask yourself:

What’s the one idea I want people to walk away with?

Start with that. Expand as needed. 

—> You’ll ramble less.
—> You’ll speak more clearly.
—> You’ll feel more in control.

A lot of people struggle when speaking on the spot because they’re trying to say too much at once.

They’re trying to sound smart.

Instead of being understood.

And they’re worrying way too much 
about what others think of them. 

(That used to be me too)

Here’s what I wish I knew earlier: 

When you simplify your thoughts,
People don’t see you as “less intelligent”

They actually see you as more credible.

—> You don’t need to overexplain.
—> You don’t need to impress anyone.

You just need to make your 
ideas easy to understand.

You got this.

Many professionals ruin their points when speaking. 
Are you one of them?

If you ever catch yourself using 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
you might be in this group. 

(I definitely was)

It's not that you need more knowledge. 

You just need a particular set of skills. 

The skills of organizing your thoughts quickly
and then explaining them clearly and concisely.

Because if you can't get to the point quickly...

People will assume you have none.

They'll stop listening and zone out. 
(especially with attention spans these days 😅)

So if you want to sound more credible, trim the fat.

Make your messages lean. 

After all, why spend 3 minutes delivering a point 
that could have been made in 30 seconds?

If you're not super skilled at this 𝘺𝘦𝘵, it's all good. 

It's a skill that can be learned just like anything else. 

You got this.

If you want to command 
a room like the world's top leaders
(or simply want to land higher-level roles)

Master these 3 speaking skills.

1.) Crystal clarity

Deliver your message concisely
using the fewest words possible.

No extra fluff.

2.) Storytelling.

Share stories that people can relate to.

They make your messages
more memorable and persuasive.

3.) Strategic Silence

Get comfortable with those pauses,
especially after important points.

They give people a moment to think.
And allow your words to really sink in.

These are a lot of fun to work on with clients. 

But then again, as a communication nerd...

Everything we teach in the program is fun. 

Which of these 3 skills could you improve on?

Most communication tips are a waste of time.

There, I said it. 

You've heard it all before:

Speak clearly.
Make eye contact.
Project confidence.

The same tips get repeated everywhere.

But here's the truth:

If all you needed was tips, everyone would 
be an exceptional communicator, right?

The real problem isn't knowing 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 to do.

It's knowing 𝘩𝘰𝘸 to actually do it when it matters.

Habits don't change just because 
you read a list or watched a video.

If you want something practical:

The single most effective way to speak clearly on the spot is to train your brain to use frameworks.

Then you can organize and articulate 
your thoughts in a way that makes sense. 

A way that people actually understand and resonate with.

I put together my Top 3 in a doc.

Comment or message the word “FRAME” and it’s yours.

It also includes examples of how and when to use them.

You’re in a meeting at work
and have something useful to say...

But you either:

1.) Hesitate 
or 
2.) Jump in too fast

If you hesitate, the moment passes.
You think "I should have said something" 

If you jump in too fast, your thoughts rush out. 
You think "I should have said that better"

In both cases:

- You're overthinking
- Your thoughts aren't clear
- The right words just aren't coming 

You might even feel a little annoyed or frustrated with yourself. 

Most people think “That’s just how my brain works”

True. 

But your brain works that way because you
haven't trained it to do anything differently. 

Remember - your brain is like a computer.

We can uninstall old programs 
that are causing these things. 

And install new ones that help 
you think and speak better. 

If this resonates, happy to walk you through how it works.

“I’d speak better if I had time to prepare,
but I’ve got back-to-back meetings all day...”

This is true. 

But if the only time you communicate well 
is when you’ve had time to prepare...

You’re going to struggle in most situations. 

Why?

Because you don't HAVE time to prepare for everything.

So the problem isn’t your schedule.

It’s that no one ever showed you how to:

1.) Organize your thoughts 
2.) Get to the point fast 
3.) Articulate yourself clearly

And how to do it on the spot. 

Because once you can do that, your speaking 
skills don't depend on your calendar anymore.

So if you’re tired of going into meetings
‘hoping it’ll go well’

This might be something worth looking into.

ST Rappaport 🧠

I didn't hit a wall yesterday, 

But I did run thru one
(for most of the marathon)

And guess what?
I was *grateful* for it.

Because even though running through a wall of wind is HARD,
it's feels incredible, 
when the hot and the sun is out strong.

Truthfully,
This mindset is what helps me be successful in whatever situation I'm in.

WHATEVER is happening,
I'll find a way to see how it works in my favor.

During training,
Cold days makes it easier to breathe.
Hot days is perfect practice for marathon day. 

In business its the same,
A deal fell thru, I've met incredible people and who knows what will be in the future. 
Only got 4 hours to sleep? I've got adrenaline to run on. 
A package went missing during shipping, I get to figure out the situation without the supplies. 
The algorithm is wonky, it means I get to make even better content. 


Life will NEVER be perfect. 
And things will never go as planned,

But if you KNOW you'll be able to use the best of each situation, you become resourceful.

Plus,
You get to enjoy the process so much more.


P.S. What something that looked bad in the beginning but ended up being really good for you?

Optimize Your ADHDish Brain to grow your business with more ease | Brain Engineer

Weak thinking skills steal time because everything takes longer than it should.

Overthinking simple decisions.

Procrastinate on important work.

Tasks get done roundabout way because the brain doesn’t have the right skills to handle them.

 
Weak thinking skills drain your energy because your brain is working overtime.

Even small tasks feel heavier than they need to be.

By the end of the day, there’s barely any left for the people who matter most.

 
Weak thinking skills cause you to lose money because opportunities slip through the cracks.
Follow-ups stall.
Decisions get avoided.
Momentum slows, and growth stalls.

 
Weak thinking skills knock your confidence because you keep blaming yourself.

Lazy and stupid feel like your middle name.

There’s so much proof of how you’re inconsistent.

And a million voices that you’re gonna fail.



I got sad writing this. 😔
Because life like this is HARD. 
And painful.


Good thing weak thinking skills don’t have to stay weak forever 🫶


P.S. What's weak thinking skills costing you?

I’m not a business coach.
So don’t ask me for business advice.

I’m not a marketing consultant.
So don’t ask me for marketing advice.

I’m not a therapist.
So don’t ask me for relationship advice.

I’m a brain engineer.

When you improve how your brain thinks,
Everything else gets easier.

(after all, you use your brain for everything, right?)


Your decisions happen faster.
Your marketing becomes clearer.
Your emotions feel more regulated.
Your relationships improve.


Not because I told you what to do,

Simply because your brain is required for each situation.


P.S.  One of my favorite things to hear from a client is when their business coach or therapist starts seeing major improvements in what they’re working on together because of the work we’re doing on the brain.

It really is all connected :)

Thinking Skills Assessment

There’s nothing wrong with every day looking different.
The problem is when we expect ourselves to be able to do the same thing every day.
 
I’ve got a client who works 5 hours a day. 
With Tuesdays and Wednesdays being 9 hours of meetings.
Awesome. 

Except on the days she’d work 9 hours, she’d be upset that she didn’t cook dinner.
uhm.
I wonder why.

The moment you *understand* what’s happening, you can actually do something about it.

She can decide upfront that she’s ordering dinner
Or cook in advance on Monday.

But being upset day in and day out 
that you’re not cooking dinner is not helping anyone. 
 

The problem is, 
we do this with everything. 
We want the perfect day to be perfect every day. 
Except that doesn’t happen. 
 
You want to be understanding of reality 
So that way, you can work with it and make it work for you. 


P.S. What's your go-to dinner when you're low on time?

If you’re an ADHDish business owner
who wants to get more done in less time,
not with hacks, or tips but helping your brain think smarter,
this is for you: https://lnkd.in/d8iDE3Bw

If the thinking skill takes work to use,
you haven’t trained it enough.

That’s why you don’t build thinking skills 
when your kids is having a meltdown
or need to fire an employee. 


You build thinking skills in safe environments
where messing up doesn’t matter.
(Optimize Your Brain is a great place for this https://lnkd.in/d8iDE3Bw)

You practice over and over again,
Making the neuro connections in your brain so strong

So that way, 
when you go into real-life situations,

Your brain can do it automatically. 


P.S. What's something you've done so much, you can do it without even thinking about it?

Most people don't think like this 😏

When going from the living room to the bedroom to grab something…

My client started asking himself, 
what else he needs to do on the way.

The kitchen is between the two rooms.
Is there something he needs from the kitchen before going back to the living room?

If yes, grab it now.
(so it becomes one trip instead of three.)

He said: "It's such a small thing. Yet saves so much time.”

Then he asked, “Do neurotypical people just naturally think like this?"

No.

Most people DON'T think like this.

Because they never developed the thinking skill of categorization. (Grouping tasks together.)


This applies to everything:

- Don't respond to one email, then work, then another email. Batch all emails together.

- Don't make one trip to Target today and another tomorrow. Get everything in one trip.

- Don't handle one client issue at a time. Stack all client tasks together.

Massive time savings.

 
What are you doing three separate times that you could do once?

I’ve spent THOUSANDS on personal development

(probably way over 100K. I need to do the math.)

And I’m not stopping any time soon.

Were all those experts and coaches good? No.
(many who’ve overpromised, didn’t know how to get the results…)

One time, I paid for a year ahead, 
and stopped going just a few weeks in,
because I realized being in that program was making me think small. 

So when someone says they’ve been burned by coaches in the past,
I feel you. Deeply.

At the same time, I’ve had some INCREDIBLE experiences, with great ROIs. 
So I’m not stopping anytime soon. 

I don’t need a few past bad experiences to stop me from having a better future. 

Sure, 
Now I’m more picky about where I invest.

Tho, I go in knowing, 
I’m gonna get some kind of ROI, 
Because I know ME. 
And no matter what, I’m gonna learn something that will make this investment worth it. 


What about you? Have you been burned by coaches or experts? How do you go about investing in yourself?

If starting feels impossible,
the problem isn’t motivation.
Your brain *knows* what it’s gonna have to deal with soon.

If everything feels urgent,
the issue isn’t time pressure.
It’s weak prioritization.

If decisions feel heavy,
fear is not the real issue.
Your brain needs to learn how to compare correctly,
then decisions become obvious. 

If planning never works out,
it’s not because you work better under pressure.
You simply need to develop the skill of understanding reality. 

If delegation feels risky,
it’s not trust issues.
It’s either precision or labeling
Or both.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed,
the issue isn’t workload.
You just don’t see the path yet.

If focus comes and goes randomly,
it’s not ADHD being unmanageable.
Your brain hasn’t learned how to sustain attention on demand.

If you keep trying to solve the same problem,
it’s because you’re treating the symptoms
When really you want to deal with the thinking skill underneath.

P.S. What’s a problem you’ve been trying to solve forever?

You want to work WITH your brain, 
not against it,
And challenge it at the same time.
 
You want to be understanding of your brain, of the situation, of reality. 
That does not mean you need to accept it as this is the way it will always be.
 
There is no limit. 
To anything really.
We just haven't understood how to make it happen... yet.
 
If you understand reality, then you can work with it to make it work for you.


P.S. What's something you're currently working on (even if sometimes it feels likes its impossible to change?

"I sold my car because I could not handle getting an oil change. So I'm like, screw it. Just call Carvana, sell the car.” a client shared in session 
(yes, for real.)

I know it sounds too crazy,
But we do micro versions of this all day long.

Send 47 emails instead of one quick call
Or research AGAIN instead of publishing.

We work HARDER because we don’t want to do the task.

What’s that task for you?


P.S. If you can understand what part of the task is the challenge and solve that problem, you’ll have no problem doing the task.

You keep opening the email. 
Staring at it.
Closing it.


3 days later it’s still there. 

Your brain gets too overwhelmed looking at the email. 
Four paragraphs. 
Multiple questions. 
Topics all over the place.


Your brain can’t process it because all the information is coming into your brain as mush.

You need to help your brain take in the information in a clear and organized way.


Read out loud just the first line. Understand it? Good. 
Move on to the next sentence.
And repeat. 

Yes,
It feels like it takes forever.
Yes, 
it gets frustrating in the process.
Yes,
 you will get there.

And the more you do it, 
The less you’ll need to do it,


Because you’re developing your thinking skill of clear perception,
allowing your brain to take in the information in a clear and organized way.


P.S. This is not just about reading complex emails. This is about any situation in life where there is a lot of information. 
Where are you going to use it?

I will not be checking in on you every day.

No matter how many times people ask,
I don't have a community for people to engage in during the 90-day cohort.

I don't want you to rely on me.

I want you to be able to stand on your own two feet.

By me checking in on you every day, then the moment I'm not there you fall.

Not helpful.
At all.

If anything, it makes you handicapped.
No, thank you.

Things I love:

(in no particular order)

10. Limiting yourself


What’s something you love?
And what’s something you hate?

Comfortable lies I told myself:

• I just need more discipline.
(My brain needed better skills, not more force)

• This is just how my brain works.
(It was how my brain worked untrained)

• Once things calm down, I’ll think clearly.
(They never calmed down)

• I’m just bad at long-term planning.
(I was just surviving today)

• Delegating will take longer than doing it myself.
(So I stayed overloaded and resentful)

• Overwhelm comes with growth.
(It actually comes from not understanding what to do)

• I don’t have time to learn this.
(So I paid for it daily)

• This is just the founder tax.
(No. This was a skills gap)


These lies are comforting.
As they explained the pain without requiring change.

But comforting lies keep you stuck.
And, 
don’t make you a lot of money. 


P.S. Which lie did you believe for too long?

7 Parts of ADHD No One Sees 

(But You Feel Every Single Day)

1. The frustration of knowing exactly what you need to do but can’t get yourself to start.  

2. The important information vanishes the second something new enters

3. The constant overcompensating.

4. The flood of information your brain takes in all day long, which makes everything overwhelming. 

5. The intense emotions that hit like a tidal wave over things other people shrug off.

6. The need to keep all options open makes decisions practically impossible.

7. The shame spiral after a small mistake that throws off the rest of your day. 


Whatever you're struggling with right now,
It doesn't have to stay a struggle forever.

There are gaps in thinking skills that your brain was never taught.
And skills? 
They're trainable.

As soon as you learn the skills your ADHD brain actually needs
these struggles become a thing of the past.



P.S. What else would you add to this list? 👇

Coach for ADHD Business Owner
Improve how your brain is thinking

She bought containers.
Nice ones.
On sale.

Looked organized for about… a day.
Then everything slowly turned back into chaos.
Not because she failed.

Because the system was built around how things look, not how she thinks.
 
After improving her thinking skill of categorizations,
She reorganized based on use.
Things she needs daily?
Easy access.
Things she rarely touches?
Harder to reach.
 
Now her doesn’t have to work hard to keep things organzied.
They just stay organized.

Your turn:
How can you organize your [desk, closet, pantry…] based on how you use it?

If you’re an ADHDish business owner
who wants to get more done in less time,
not with hacks, or tips but helping your brain think smarter,
this is for you: https://lnkd.in/d8iDE3Bw

Most of the time,
Your thinking brain is in charge (hopefully!)

It has direct communication with your amygdala 
(part of the brain that stores emotions)


However,
If your emotions become too much to handle, 
your amygdala hijacks the thinking brain 
and you can't think logically.

 
There is literally a disconnect between the thinking brain 
and the amygdala.

 
Here's the cool part,
The stronger your thinking skills are,
The stronger the connection is between the thinking brain and the amygdala.

(Almost like a stronger rope tying the parts of the brain tighter together)

This makes it less likely that your amygdala hijacks the brain.

And your logic brain is able to stay in charge more of the time.


P.S. Think back to a time when you were experiencing emotional dysregulation. 
What part of the situation was a challenge? 
That part, is directly related to a thinking skill.


P.P.S. This is a lot easier to see in other people 🤣
Without dropping names, can you share with us a story where you've seen this?

"You're so lucky. You've got the ambition and drive to get so much done."

Yeah, tell that to my younger self who:

- Had no friends
- Struggled reading
- Didn't fit in
- Spent almost every day in the principal's office 
- Was super negative 
- Was forever frustrated with people around me because my brain couldn't handle what they were doing (This hurt so bad)
- Wasted hours and hours just reorganizing because my brain couldn't see how to actually do it. 

I BUILT that drive. 
and so can you.


You know what it started with?
Building stronger thinking skills.


P.S. Find out how strong your thinking skills are with this assignment: https://lnkd.in/dtvEJwZr

Your brain is wired for survival.

It doesn't want to work hard

(Unless it's become addicted to hard, but that another conversation)

 

So instead of beating yourself up that you're procrastinating,


Ask the following question:

What part of this task is challenging?

 
All it takes is for ONE part of the task to be that bit more challenging and your brain doesn't want to do the whole task.

 
If you can identify that hard part,
And solve that problem,
Doing the task will be easy.



P.S. If you share a task that you're procrastinating on, I'll walk you thru which thinking skill it's related to, so you can solve that problem 👇
