Welcome to another episode of ADHD-ish! In today’s conversation, Diann Wingert, host and therapist-turned-business strategist, sits down with longtime ADHD coach and thought leader Jeff Copper to explore his groundbreaking new approach: “Cognitive Ergonomics from the Inside Out.” Together, they dive into the roots of executive function challenges, drawing on insights from Dr. Russell Barkley, and discuss why traditional ADHD advice doesn’t always translate to real-world results.
