How to Reframe Your Thoughts about ADHD Failure and Let Go of Shame

Описание: Do failed and abandoned projects in your past fill you with shame and self-judgment? You might be thinking like a cog, instead of an entrepreneur!

Many of us with ADHD have a string of failed and abandoned projects in our past that often haunt us, sending us into shame spirals which make it all the more likely that will will continue to fail and abandon projects in our future. But it doesn't have to be this way.

If we can start thinking more like entrepreneurs and less like cogs in the machinery of industrialism, we can begin to see that our failures are not simply failures, but rather a training ground for the so-called "soft skills" that are highly prized in the 21st century, connection/digital economy. As Seth Godin (Let's Stop Calling Them "Soft Skills:    • Seth Godin: Why it's the soft skills that ...  ) and others have argued, so-called soft skills are what drives the new economy.

In this video, I look at the ways we can reframe failed and abandoned projects through the lens of entrepreneurship, so that we can see our failures as a feature, not a glitch. Thinking like designers, we can see that failure is actually an integral part of prototyping, and that our failures offer us crucial information about how to be our best selves, how to connect with our tribes, and how to offer the best of who we are to the world.
