Adults with ADD Get Formula for Success in the New Year

The New Year is almost upon us, and people all across America will be making New Year’s resolutions. For the millions of adult men and women living with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), the coming of the New Year brings feelings of frustration and self-doubt. Many ADD adults will look back on 2005 feeling like they accomplished only a fraction of what they had hoped, and many will pressure themselves to achieve unrealistic goals in 2006. While the rest of us vow to lose five pounds or simply floss every night, the ADD individual is likely planning for a complete life management overhaul.

The reality is that goals, no matter how big or small, are achieved one step at a time. “People with ADD are often so driven to succeed that they take on too many steps at once, become overwhelmed, and succumb to feelings of failure and worthlessness,” says Jennifer Koretsky, a professional ADD Coach whose successful New York-based coaching program is launching nationally in January. “ADDers are capable of achieving great things. The difficulty is that they dive headfirst into enormous projects without first obtaining the right tools for success.”

Koretsky’s popular Experience ADDvantages Coaching Program brings adults with ADD together to gain the skills and support they need to reach their goals. The 90-day program consists of instructional classes, a comprehensive workbook, one-on-one sessions with the coach, an email discussion group, and much more. Members learn valuable life management skills, including organization, time management, and positive thinking. They also have the unique opportunity to connect with other ADD adults in a supportive setting that recognizes each individual’s success.

The Experience ADDvantages Coaching Program begins Monday January 16, 2006. It is available to adults nationally. To learn more, call (718) 784-1969 or visit http://www.addmanagement.com/nationalprogram.htm.
