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!
