My ADHD Radio Interview with Attention Coach Jeff Copper

Have you ever had the opportunity to do something really cool with someone you really look up to? And then get so excited you just have to tell everyone about it?

Here’s the story. Just a few days ago I had the opportunity to record a show with Jeff Copper, a respected & well-known ADHD coach on his internet radio program, Attention Talk Radio. Learn more about Jeff on his website, Digcoaching.com.

I’ve learned a lot from Jeff over the past few months. He’s a guy I really look up to. Not only does he have a great personal story of attaining success while coping with ADHD but he’s a leading speaker and ADHD coach. I was lucky to meet Jeff in November.

I’ve spent a lot of time checking out Jeff’s site and listening to his radio show. And he’s been super supportive of my website.

So you can bet I was HYPED when he invited me to speak on his show.

Today he sent me the link where the show will air at 5:00PM on Monday December 29th. <strong?View the show’s page here. You can save it to your calendar with this link or get a show reminder so you don’t miss out. Also if you want to call in live and speak with the host, be sure to phone 646 652 4409. You will be placed into the caller queue where you will still be able to hear the show while you are on hold.

I’m really hoping you’ll get a chance to listen to the show when it airs. But even if you can’t make it, I’d love to share the show with you. So I’ll be adding it to my blog as well, within a few days of it airing. Make sure you’re on my mailing list so you get notified when the radio show comes out.

It was a pretty amazing experience for me, having a chance to tell Jeff my story and having him introduce this website to his huge community. But the show goes further than that, as we talk about kids with ADHD being bullied and treated poorly in the school system. There are some pretty important messages in there to share with parents, teachers and other adults who work with kids who might have ADHD.

Jeff liked my idea of doing a behaviour plan with my school. Which is awesome as I’ve got a plan to get a Behaviour Plan template out to you in the New Year.

It’s amazing to make connections in the ADHD community through this website. I hope you’ve had the opportunity to check out my forum or leave comments on the blog and get yourself connected to the online ADHD community too.

[content-block title="Meet Jeff Rasmussen" color="orange"] Age: 18 City: Langley, BC Diagnosed with ADHD in Grade 7 Biggest Dream: I want to change the world for younger kids like me who are punished daily for having ADHD. Fave Class: Mechanics "I've got the plans in my head for a motorized scooter with a gas-powered engine that I'm actually capable of building." ADHD Superpower: "If I'm determined to do something, literally nothing can stop me. Nothing. Not bribes, not bullets... nothing." Fave Food: Hashbrowns (the kind you buy frozen, in a bag) Career Goals: Telecommunications Guru Life-Changing Event: Winning the WDS Scholarship for Real Life School Achievement: Completing Math & Socials 10 in just 8 weeks this summer. "School's like 99% fluff. Summer school is that, minus the fluff." Biggest Struggle: Even though I take medication I still have trouble staying on task, doing boring homework, remembering not to swear when I am angry or staying still through assemblies. (That's where some of my strategies come in.) [/content-block] [content-block title="An Average Kid with ADHD" color="purple"] My ADHD has been really bad and given me every bad experience you can imagine for a kid. Before medication teachers took away my recess, my gym classes, they put me in the hall, I have been suspended from school, and I never did my work because even though my tests say I’m “gifted” I couldn’t do it. When I first learned I had ADHD I was so happy that I wasn’t bad or broken, it had a name and an explanation for what was going on. [/content-block]
