    Dyslexia Coaching Call with Alison

    Dyslexia Coaching Call with Alison

    Hey everyone, I get asked about coaching a lot when it comes to those with Dyslexia. At the moment I don't have the capacity to take on individual clients.



    But about 1 - 2 years ago (where does time go) I did a coaching session with a lovely lady called Alison who let me publish the session. I wanted to share it again as it was full of gold.



    I hope you enjoy it!

    Problem Solvers, Not Solution Takers

    Problem Solvers, Not Solution Takers

    Do you get frustrated when someone tries to offer you unsolicited advice, does it get your back up? On the other hand do you find yourself trying to solve others problems? Many of us live the hypocritical way of life as dyslexics. In this podcast I share why I think dyslexics are more prone to this challenge.

    This is a great memory technique for those of us with dyslexia. To remember things we are studying. I start off talking about smell then we dive in to visualisation and memory. Enjoy!

Ahhh fellow dyslexic :)

I love this podcast:) I just started listening and as a fellow creative dyslexic so many of your episodes resonate with me. I’d love to see you do an episode on your childhood. What it was like growing up with this dyslexia. Any funny stories. Or any ways your teachers tried to teach you in an alternative way but that just ended up embarrassing you! I’m still new to your podcast so I have lot of catching up. So if you already talked about those forgive me :)

Dyslexia or Comorbid Mental/Substance Abuse

Thank you for your podcast and I will continue to listen. So I identify with this podcast a lot as I have dyslexia but I also have been diagnosed with other mental health disorders. I am also in recovery 2 years 5 months sober as an active member of A.A. Stephen I am not a doctor but I hear a lot of mental health and possibly substance abuse in your podcasts. There certainly appears to be more than dyslexia going on. Stay safe and well.
God bless you!

The Best Adult Dyslexia Resource

As a 28 year old female, currently interviewing for physician assistant graduate programs, I was looking to understand the way my mild/moderate dyslexia impacts my life as a young adult. I wanted to strengthen my understanding of my strengths/weaknesses and how I learn best prior to re-entering an educational environment. I am so incredibly grateful to stumble upon this invaluable resource. The host is a wonderful human that continues to blows my mind every podcast with how perfectly he delivers/targets the information I needed/wanted but didn’t have a clue I needed/wanted. His unique, insightful and genuine information/encouragement has helped me to better understand myself, accept my weaknesses and mostly realize my strengths. In my opinion this podcast is an absolute essential for any adult with dyslexia (mild-severe) looking for a calming, insightful friend to discuss how dyslexia has impacted them and what strategies they are trying to implement in an effort to maximize their quality of life. Honestly, overall just so impressed - This is the first podcast that I actually check daily for the next episode.

Sincerely, thank you for your honesty and for sharing your invaluable information, insight and encouragement. It has helped me restore my self confidence through a newfound genuine understanding of myself-the good, the bad, and the dyslexia. Truly Priceless.
