In this episode of UK Health Radio, Paul and I put our heads together about the connection between business health and emotional wealth. The interview is packed with insights into the unique challenges faced by those with ADHD and dyslexia.
ADHD is often considered a liability but can be a powerful asset when approached from the right standpoint. Join us as we explore how the educational system sometimes falls short in supporting neurodiverse individuals, leaving many feeling unseen. Emphasizing the importance of leveraging one’s unique strengths and practicing self-love, we discussed viewing neurodiversity and dyslexia not as disabilities, but as different ways of processing and connecting with the world.

Business Health and Emotional Wealth – The Easy Way!! Your high-performance thinking for high-performance success
Paul:
We invite you to listen and grow to this part of our business and lifestyle magazine show with hosts Paul and Anna, experts in business leadership and lifestyle. Skilling your way to a successful life, your emotions are your value and your value is your business. UK Health Radio, we are up and running. Yes, you are with me, Paul Reese, on UK Health Radio. Grab yourself a herbal tea, change your thought process, and spend the next 52 minutes with myself. I have a guest for you today; Daphna has a great last name, much better than the Reese of the Reese's, that's for sure. It's great to be here. You are with Paul on UK Health Radio, and we are blasting out philosophy for the next 52 minutes. Trust me, it's going to be absolutely awesome. I had a pre-call with this lovely guest a few weeks back. We dived into some philosophy and I made all the notes, did my revision and research. I don’t need prep because this lady resonates with me. We have similar minds, though I feel hers is much greater than mine. It’s been a funky couple of weeks; I was in Ireland recently, building and manifesting. I was taken out for meals, but my preferences are Guinness over wine. I came home to a can of Guinness on the table from my wife. It was a mixed week; I was without my laptop for about 5 days. It was strange, and I felt guilty for not having it. It’s important to remember that social media and laptops should not run your life. Be aware that they are designed to absorb your energy. By the third day of my holiday, I finally stopped feeling guilty. It takes time to fully unwind and relax.
Anna:
Thank you, Paul. It's great to be here. We are now in a culture of coaching, and the industry is going through turbulent times. I see myself beyond just high-performance coaching and mentoring. ADHD coaching, in particular, is important to me. ADHD is not a negative; it can be a positive. We live in a society that isn't designed for neurodiverse individuals, but I love working with my clients and seeing their different thinking.
When it comes to ADHD, it can sometimes be perceived as a liability, but it is often a gift. The educational system and workplaces are still behind in accommodating neurodiverse individuals. Many feel unseen and miss out on opportunities because they can't fit into traditional structures. It’s about pushing through initial challenges, like GCSEs or A-levels, and finding areas where one can excel.
I work with people of all ages, from children to high-achieving adults, and I particularly enjoy working with those who have ADHD because I can relate to them. ADHD manifests in various ways, and for me, it means sometimes being on top of the world and other times feeling very low. But I don’t see it as a disability; it’s part of my unique way of experiencing the world.
Paul:
I understand that. It’s about recognizing the value in different ways of thinking. What is the average age of your clients?
Anna:
I work with children from age eight, adolescents from thirteen, and adults, including professionals and business owners. I love working with individuals who have ADHD, particularly because I can relate to their experiences.
Paul:
I also have ADHD traits and found school challenging, with difficulties in paying attention and organizing my work. It was stressful. Tell me, how does ADHD manifest in your life now?
