“ADHD: Understanding Us, Understanding our needs”

Jack’s combined neuroscientific background and lived experience of ADHD inform much of his work as an ADHD coach and educator. His current area of focus is addressing systemic (mis)-perceptions towards the condition. This is backed by the recognition that translating the neurodivergent experience to the neurotypical world reliably improves ADHD lives. 

In addition to accomplishments as a coach, Jack has achieved high measures of success across a variety of fields. From competing on Australian Ninja Warrior through to performing on Australia’s Got Talent (with big flaming swords). He owes much of his successes to his ADHD. In particular, through leveraging the gifts ADHD inherently confers whilst offsetting any ADHD-specific challenges with the transferable frameworks he now teaches.

Jack has found that the most valuable thing in his work is not the tools, words or information conveyed. Instead, what is consistently life-changing for people with ADHD is to feel understood, less alone, and more than anything: heard and seen. He looks forward to sharing with you some of his insights into what it is actually like living with ADHD. His belief is that if you understood what life was really like for people with ADHD, your frustration and confusions would give way to empathy and patience. That if you better understood the operating systems we had to live with, you would know not only what we really need, but intuitively know how to provide it. He affirms that if you could really understand us, that this would not only improve the quality of your relationships but of your life.
