Personal Transformation “PT” (M-100 Prerequisite II)

---

Module: 100
During this next foundational course, you will engage in a transformational process to discover and explore
new realms of your being that will positively change the way you look at yourself and others.
So you've finished taking Simply ADHD.

Now, you understand your ADHD and what's been getting in the way all those years.

The dark veil of ADHD pessimism has been lifted. Your natural brilliance and strengths are shining; you just don't know what to do with them.

Well you are now ready to begin the Personal Transformation course where you will begin to develop a strong foundation for your own self development.

In this course, you will begin to integrate your knowledge of ADHD into your own transformational process so that you can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

You will create a clear definition of your most cherished values as a new blueprint for your own integrity and begin to identify new boundaries that will be aligned with your chosen purpose.

The Academy calls our 18 teleclass course, PT, "Personal Transformation" because that is exactly what will happen when you participate in this life-changing course.

During PT you will learn:


Powerful tools to dramatically change the way you look at yourself and what kind of behavior you will accept from others
How to identify the boundaries that were blinded by your ADHD, and successfully use them as a powerful tool to dramatically improve your quality of life
How the needs of acceptance, acknowledgment, understanding and respect are huge gaps in your life and how you can fulfill these needs so your true self can emerge
How to identify and eliminate limiting beliefs like the speed trap, performance paradigm and the one- size fits- all mentality which are all illusions that prevented you from embracing your unique strengths
How the chaos, your ADHD created, can be converted into a clear purpose for you to pursue
How your confusion and overwhelm when performing challenging tasks can be transformed into a new discovery of your hidden strengths aligned with your heartfelt values.

PT will literally transform you from an anxious, overwhelmed human always feeling like you have to prove your worth, to becoming a confident human being, with integrity, who knows what they need to become their true, authentic self.

Personal Transformation (Module 100) is our other foundational course and is also the second prerequisite course for the ADD Coach Training Programs. It must be taken after the Simply ADHD course (M-99)
