Live Broadcast: Disorganized Musings & Subtle Influence

Yesterday, the author attended "Confidence Live", a live Zoom presentation aimed at understanding ADHD and executive function. Hosted by Pixie Polite and Professor Doctor Kieran Fenby-Hulse, the event was a beacon of hope for individuals struggling with the challenges of ADHD.

The day was filled with insightful talks, thought-provoking discussions, and meaningful connections. Nicola Griffiths, a renowned figure in the field, gave a talk on executive function and offered a trio of plans: Ideal, Fall-back, Bare minimum. According to Griffiths, the Executive system in our brains handles new tasks, while the Autopilot system is our well-worn groove.

Griffiths also emphasized the importance of activation before motivation, encouraging people to just start a project, even if it's messy and personal. This concept resonated with many attendees, providing a practical approach to overcoming the common hurdle of ADHD paralysis.

Kira Matthews, another speaker at the event, spoke about the importance of leaving room for doubt and questioning assumptions. She suggested reframing questions and asking someone else, a simple yet effective strategy for fostering new perspectives.

Desree's poetry at the event was soft but insistent, with a memorable line being "call it a halo" from a poem about odd jobs. Her words added a poetic touch to the event, encapsulating the shared experiences and emotions of the attendees.

Between sessions, there were meaningful conversations happening. Compliments, shared emotions, and threads of connection were woven into the fabric of the event, creating a unique and powerful atmosphere. Confidence was found not just on the stage, but also in the shared stories and the in-between spaces of the event.

The author ended the day with drinks and laughter in the company of Pixie and Kieran, finding the close to be surreal and joyful. They left the event with a full heart, a mess of scribbles, and a newfound sense of a steadier kind of confidence.

"Confidence Live" is more than just a series of keynote speeches. It's a place where people can be more themselves, where connections are made, and where confidence is found. It's an event that offers guidance on addressing executive function challenges through coaching, behavioral strategies, and self-advocacy.

For individuals with ADHD, the event provides a wealth of practical tools for self-improvement, resilience-building, and confidence enhancement. It's a testament to the power of community and the transformative potential of understanding and embracing one's unique challenges.

In summary, "Confidence Live" is an informative session on ADHD and executive function that covers the impact of ADHD on cognitive skills essential for daily functioning, and provides practical tools for self-improvement, resilience-building, and confidence enhancement for people with ADHD.

According to the author's experiences, "Confidence Live" is not just a series of talks, but also a platform where lifestyle transformations, fashion-and-beauty insights, food-and-drink discussions, home-and-garden ideas, and relationship advice can be shared and discussed. After a day filled with educational sessions and meaningful connections, the event ended with travel opportunities as the author shared drinks and laughter with Pixie and Kieran. In this unique community, individuals with ADHD can engage in shopping experiences for practical tools designed to improve their executive function, build resilience, and enhance their confidence.
