Mit ADHS erfolgreich im Beruf

What is ADHD and how do people with ADHD behave? What does this mean for the experience of those affected, what influence does it have on their access to their abilities and how does this affect their working life? Based on these questions, the author shows from a scientific perspective and in an easy-to-understand, easy-to-consume and humorous way how ADHD affects working life and what opportunities can open up with a better understanding of this neurological variant. Because under certain conditions, ADHD can offer clear advantages in some areas of work. Of course, possible difficulties in working life are also highlighted and practical solutions are shown. Readers with and without ADHD will appreciate the specialised treatment of this important topic as well as the ease of implementation of the many practical tips and tricks, which are the result of numerous studies and the author's many years of intensive work with affected employees and his own ADHD. Teenagers and young adults, as well as their parents, will find helpful support to get off to a successful start in the world of work - with, despite or even because of ADHD. The book has been thoroughly revised and expanded for the second edition, and all illustrations are now in colour. New chapters offer further suggestions from the author's rich fund: the reader learns how fear and courage go hand in hand with ADHD, how professional relationships work well with ADHD and how a change of perspective can be beneficial for employers and employees with ADHD. Recognising the interest of supervisors and employers reading this book, a table provides a quick overview of the most important professional ADHD situations, their background and tips for dealing with them.
