Episode 35: "Is It Possible to Build Confidence Without Shame in ADHD?" Shama Akram
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I'm excited to share my latest conversation with Shama Akram, a UK-based ADHD coach specializing in accountability, productivity, and confidence-building for individuals with inattentive ADHD.
Key insights from our discussion:
🔹 The critical gap between clinical diagnosis and practical support
🔹 How coaching complements therapy by focusing forward, not backward
🔹 Reframing productivity around energy levels, not rigid schedules
🔹 The importance of celebrating neurodivergent individuality in educational systems
Shama's practical framework—planning, prioritizing, and timestamping—offers actionable steps for anyone navigating ADHD in professional and personal contexts.
This conversation is essential for educators, HR professionals, managers, and anyone supporting neurodivergent individuals in their organizations.
