What we hear on our calls

If you’ve said any of these, you’re in the right place.

I don’t know what I want to do.

Everyone else seems to have it figured out.

I don’t even know what I’m good at.

I’m afraid I’ll pick the wrong path again.

The words we hear most are stuck, direction and “where do I even start?” It’s rarely a lack of options. It’s no clear way to decide, so the decision keeps getting pushed to next month.

How a week works

One question a week. Here’s what that looks like.

About 60 to 90 minutes, split however you like. Rough is fine. Every week ends with one small step out in the real world.

1Watch
Week 1Build it, don’t find it
  • The perfect job isn’t hiding somewhere.
  • Your past already has the patterns.

Scott’s main points for the week, so you can start in minutes.

2Talk it out
Tell your story
When did you feel most alive at work, and when were you most drained?
The robotics club, honestly. Building the thing from scratch with the kids…
🎙Dictate it. Nobody grades the grammar.

Answer out loud first, then paste or type. Talking beats writing for most ADHD brains.

Wants to be in charge✕ Drop

Optional: paste a ready-made prompt into ChatGPT or Claude (free works). You keep only what’s true.

4Do it for real
Ask 3 people
Quick question, no wrong answer: when have you seen me at my best?
  • Jen, teammate
  • Marcus, former principal
  • Dad

One small step with real people, about 20 minutes. This is where the clarity actually comes from.

Everything you keep lands on one page: your Career Sketch.

What you walk away with

One page that’s actually yours.

  • A direction you chose

    Not a quiz result. A path built from your story, values and skills.

  • A backup

    So you’re never stuck in front of one closed door.

  • A 90-day plan you’ve already started

    Three milestones you could show someone, and a first experiment on the calendar.

  • A story you can tell

    A 60-second version of where you’re headed, so people can actually help you.

Built for ADHD brains

Made for how your brain actually works.

  • Talk, don’t write

    Dictate your answers. Long, rambling ones work best.

  • Interest first

    We start with what you want, because an ADHD brain won’t keep showing up for work that ignores it.

  • Small, visible steps

    Next actions start with a verb and take under 15 minutes. No giant to-do lists.

  • Falling off is planned for

    You build a restart card in Week 8, so a bad week doesn’t end the plan.

  • ResetClear the desk, 10-minute walk

  • MissionBuild training teachers actually use

Questions

Good to know before you start.

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis?

No. It’s built for ADHD brains (short steps, talking first, structure that survives a bad week), and it works for anyone who keeps getting stuck on what’s next.

Is it a fit for teens?

Yes, for older teens who are thinking about what comes after school. Some steps ask about work, school, side projects and money, so a teen may want a parent nearby for those parts. Everything else works the same.

Do I have to use AI?

No. Every step works without it. If you want a draft, the program writes the prompt for you. Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude (the free versions work), then keep only what’s true and drop the rest.

How much time does it take?

About 60 to 90 minutes a week, split however you like, plus one small real-world step. It’s self-paced, so you can start any time and go at your speed.

Where is my work saved?

In your browser, on your device. Nobody else can see it, including Scott. A one-click backup lets you keep it safe or move to another device.

Is this coaching or therapy?

Neither. It’s a self-paced program. If you’d rather have a coach with you the whole way, look at the Job Search Accelerator.

Ready when you are

A direction, with a clear plan of action.

That’s what people tell us they want most. Nine weeks, one page, and it’s yours.

ADHD Career Change is a self-paced program. It isn’t coaching, therapy or a substitute for mental health treatment.

Knowing your path is tough, especially with ADHD

It’s rarely a lack of options. It’s too many options, no structure and no clear way to decide, so the decision keeps getting pushed to next month.

Everyone asks “so what’s the plan?” and you don’t have one.
You’re years into a career you’ve outgrown, and starting over feels paralyzing.
You’ve taken the quizzes. You still don’t know.
You have ideas, but you can’t pick one and commit.

The 9 weeks

One question a week, in order. Each step builds on the last, so by week nine you’re not guessing anymore.

Week 1

Identity: Who are you?

Own your professional identity instead of living out someone else’s script.

Week 2

Motivation: What do you want?

Turn vague dissatisfaction into clear needs and wants.

Week 3

Assets: What can you offer?

Trade self-doubt for confidence in your strengths and value.

Week 4

Possibilities: What are your options?

Widen a short list into real paths worth exploring.

Week 5

Niche: Where do you fit?

Narrow endless options to a vivid picture of work that fits.

Week 6

Validate: What does it take?

Test the idea against the practical steps to get there.

Week 7

Plan: Where are you heading?

Turn ideas into a clear, concrete direction.

Week 8

Action: What’s next?

Stop over-thinking and take the first real steps.

Week 9

Beyond: How will you keep growing?

Leave with a framework you can reuse at every career turn.

What you walk away with

A direction you chose

Not a quiz result. A path that fits your strengths, needs and life.

A realistic plan

Concrete next steps, small enough to actually start.

Confidence in your strengths

A clear, honest picture of what you bring.

A way to keep growing

A framework you can come back to at every career turn.

A good fit if

  • You don’t know what’s next, or you’re torn between options
  • You’d rather work through it on your own time
  • ADHD or neurodivergence is part of the picture

Something else fits better if

Want a coach in your corner?

ADHD Career Change is the do-it-yourself version of the direction work inside the Job Search Accelerator. If you’d rather not do it alone, the Accelerator adds one-on-one coaching and takes you from direction all the way through landing the job.
