Jay Carter - Hyperfocused Coaching Systems
Profile Information
- How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
- I heard about 48Days.net from Dan's newsletter and jumped right in. This is the best networking group around for people with dreams around work!
I hope to make a lot of friends and learn a lot that I can use to help my business success explode.
- What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
- I am a successful manager at the best Fortune 100 company in the world. I am the Corporate Supply Chain Operations Quality Manager with quality responsibility for all the Distribution and Logistics areas of the company. I've been with the company for almost thirteen years. This is important to know as you read the rest of the story below...
- And then...what is the goal/dream you are striving for regarding your work life?
- I am an ADHD Career Coach. My dream is to support as many people with ADHD or ADHD Traits in identifying and achieving their career dreams.
- How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?
- My wife and I homeschool our two older kids (9 and 11) and I'd like to have them graduate and be successful academically. The two-year old will be a genius from hanging out with her brother and sister as they "do school". I'd also rather have them be successful as people.
- What would you say are your core competencies? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?
- My name is Jay Carter and I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 42. For me, this was a truly life changing experience. The reason for a lot of experiences I'd had in life suddenly became clear. A little bit of coachly wisdom - ADHD is always a reason, never an excuse.
When I was growing up, ADHD or ADD as it was called then was not an unknown condition, but it was typically applied to young boys who could not sit still and were really out of control. I was always just short of out of control so it never occurred to me or anyone else that ADD might be an issue. We have since learned that ADHD manifests itself in many ways. One of the most important things in learning to manage and capitalize on your own ADHD is to understand the unique ways that your ADHD manifests itself.
My ADHD manifested itself in several different ways. Some of my earliest memories of school were emergency studying and project completion at the last minute. This is a frequent ADHD trait. It can be almost impossible for a person with ADHD to pay attention to something they aren't interested in. I was also often in trouble in school, I would find myself in fights or in other types of trouble. This represents an ADHD trait that I call social "out-of-syncness". People with ADHD often have difficulty observing and reacting to social clues that happen in every interaction among people. Another way my ADHD manifested itself was the string of jobs I held over the years. It was uncanny in my early adult life that I would find myself in a new job every two years almost to the day. This is an ADHD trait that many ADHDer's exhibit - being bored with a routine.
There are many more ways that *your* ADHD can manifest itself and it's important to understand those ways and create strategies for success.
ADHDer's are incredibly creative resourceful and energetic as a whole. One of the great paradoxes of ADHD is that within each ADHD challenge is the seed of an ADHD strength. Take for example, the name of my company - Hyperfocused Coaching Systems. Hyperfocus can mean that you get so focused on a task that you can't give it up and spend way to much time on something that's trivial. On the flip side however, Hyperfocus can be akin to the what has been called "Flow" or being "In the zone". This is a great state where you can accomplish a tremendous amount in a short period of time. That's where I try to live my life - hyperfocused on the things that matter most.
In a modern-day ADHD treatment plan, in addition to doctors and therapist, a coach who is well-trained specifically in ADHD is a valuable mainstay in achieving the success you want in life. I am finishing up a intensive year of training at the best ADHD coach training organization in the world - The ADD Coaching Academy.
At Hyperfocused Coaching Systems, we are Hyperfocused on ADHD coaching. Our specialty is coaching clients who have been diagnosed with ADHD late in life. For many of these clients, it's not so much dealing with symptoms of ADHD, it's dealing with the issues of living with undiagnosed ADHD. We can support you in discovering a path to success based on the strengths that you possess. For others, it is identifying strategies for addressing ADHD challenges. The word Systems in our company name is because we believe that we can take advantage of systems in dealing with multiple areas of life.We have systems for dealing with many of the challenges that ADHDer's face and want to master.
- Do you have a website presence anywhere?
- http://www.hyperfocusedcoaching.com
- More than one website?
- http://www.ahdhweekly.com
- If you have a product or service to promote (now or in the near future) this is your shot to state it! Say all you'd like:
- You know how people with ADHD have a hard time staying with a job. Sometimes they can't seem to get anything done on time or can't seem to get things done right. Well I help people like that understand how their ADHD manifests itself and then help them identify work that fits who they are and how God uniquely wired them. You see - ADHDers are often loaded with strengths that they don't recognize. As an ADHD Career coach - I can provide them with tools and support to be successful beyond what they can even imagine from where they are standing now. I would be honored to walk with you through that journey!
