How will the class work?

Once a student is registered, he/she will be provided a pass code to get into the “classroom.”  Each week, on a Saturday, he/she can log onto the site, use the pass code to enter the “classroom,” and read the weekly lesson.  Weekly Lessons will also be emailed directly to participants.   Each weekly lesson will give clear instructions on what to do:  reading assignments to do within the textbook, assessments to complete, and activities to accomplish within that week. 

Here’s what the online class includes for each week:

Week One: 

·        Learning about the process of career development with special challenges

·        Assessing your career interests

·        Identifying your skills and accomplishments

Week Two:

·        Identifying your personality type

·        Prioritizing your work and leisure values

·        Understanding your aptitudes

Week Three:

·        Real-time, virtual discussion (1.5 hours)—This will be an online, secured chat room, where “conversation” will exist between the instructor and the group.  There will be a short explanation, and then participants will be able to ask questions of Ms. Fellman.

·        At registration, participants choose between an evening chat or an afternoon one.

·        Learning to synthesize assessment data

·        Discussing next steps

Week Six:

·        Real-time, virtual discussion (1.5 hours)---Again, this will be an online, secured chat room, where participants will be able to ask questions, clarify ideas, and formalize next steps, towards career decision-making.

·        At registration, participants choose between an evening chat or an afternoon one.

·        Questions and answers

·        Summarizing and formalizing next steps

What People Are Saying About Finding a Career That Works With AD/HD

Testimonial from actual client of Wilma Fellman:

I had spent years exploring new businesses and jobs only to find boredom and frustration after a couple of years for every job.  Nothing seemed to be fulfilling and exactly what I was looking for from my career.  My personality profile did not seem to fit into any career that I had had previously.  I knew I had to take a different approach this time.

At 40, I was diagnosed with adult AD/HD, and while it didn’t surprise me, the diagnosis helped me understand my frustration with my work life.  I realized that I was not capable of sustaining some of my career choices because of my unique personal profile that is not conducive to almost everything I chose to do previously.   

With Wilma’s help, I developed a personality profile of myself.  It was very helpful to take multiple profile tests to compare the results to see the common elements about myself in all of the profiles.  I had a history of just picking businesses out of thin air, and doing the sophisticated analysis of “that sounds interesting and it could make some money”. 

Wilma establishes a process that starts with hundreds of careers and boils them down based on the person.  The process itself gave me the confidence in my career choice.  I was not surprised by the results, but I never thought of how certain careers can bring out the positive characteristics in a person. 

It is nice to know that I have chosen a career that will actually reward me for who I am, as opposed to having to figure out a way to compensate for certain characteristics that negatively impacted my job performance.

However, the most beneficial part of Wilma’s counseling specifically to AD/HD individuals, is that she really understands the AD/HD person like me.   For example, Wilma understands that many people like me get bored with their career, and so she provides a unique list of hobbies that fulfills the urge for change jobs. 

It sounds so simple, but it is a lot less disruptive to change hobbies than to change careers.  I have just started an agency for artists to promote their work to the public, and now know that my work has to involve interaction with people, creativity, ownership, undefined and changing schedules, and more subjective evaluations of success.   Wilma’s career counseling provided that choice by narrowing things down, until it became a “bull’s-eye” in my mind.  Thanks, Wilma!
