    About this ebook

    We know that Attention Deficit Disorder makes it tough for children to focus in school. But what happens when those kids grow up? How can they make the transition to a successful professional life? And how can newly diagnosed adults meet the challenges of the workplace? David Greenwood, an ADD sufferer who now works as a well-respected PR consultant, answers the question for anyone who wants to thrive with ADD or ADHD—not just survive!
    Learn how to:
    • Identify the major features of Attention Deficit Disorder and become aware of how they affect aspects of adult life, particularly in the office
       
    • Tailor a career to minimize the effects of those symptoms
       
    • Highlight the positive characteristics of Attention Deficit Disorder, such as hyper-focusing and creativity, and leverage them to achieve professional success
     
    Overcoming Distractions includes plenty of case studies, testimonials from ADD/ADHD specialists, and numerous action plans for making Attention Deficit Disorder work for you.
