Episode Description

ADHD makes it harder to get things done consistently and to meet others’ expectations. But just how productive do you really need to be? And at what point is the extra stress and effort not worth it?

Strong self-esteem and solid relationships are a balance between generosity and assertiveness—taking good care of others and yourself. We will discuss how to decide wisely which tasks to take on and how to negotiate any differences of opinion. And, since things don’t always go according to plan, we will talk about how to handle those occasional disappointments.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How past struggles and failures can cast a long shadow on what you allow others to expect of you.
  • How to think about what you want to do in certain situations.
  • How to evaluate whether you have the social capital in a relationship to offer something other than what the other person prefers.
  • How to act with integrity—be good to yourself and others, especially when it’s hard.
  • Why people-pleasing rarely pleases anyone.
