Crain's Detroit Business features LSR Coaching and Consulting, LLC!

I was very excited recently to be interviewed by Chad Halcom of Crain’s Detroit Business regarding the education I obtained to make the transition from automotive HR executive to Attention and AD/HD Coach. The article was posted this week in Crain’s special supplement regarding the Mackinac Policy Conference. The link is provided below. Although you have to register in order to see the whole article, I can tell you that my favorite quote is, “Doing what you love doesn’t feel like work, Laura Rolands said of her new career path.” This is so very true. If any of you are considering a career change, I strongly recommend you hire a career coach.

Here is the link to the article: Making the most of training opportunities, ex-Chrysler manager now helps those coping with ADHD. Halcom states, “Doing what you love doesn’t feel like work, Laura Rolands said of her new career path except, perhaps, when you self-promote. Rolands, 39, took a buyout package and left her job Nov…”

Registration is free for a 4-week trial.

Let me know what you think about the article and if you have any questions.

Thanks!

What is attention-related coaching?

Laura Rolands, ADHD Coach — Sat, 30 May 2009 03:12:22 +0000

Attention-Related Coaching is a process of partnering with adults, teens or children who experience attention-related challenges in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to establish clear goals and maximize the potential to reach those goals.

Attention-related challenges include:

Social issues due to impulsivity
Hyperactivity
Late or missed tasks
Time management challenges
Project management struggles
AD/HD or ADD

At each stage of the process, client needs are be addressed by coaching sessions, brief check-in sessions and e-mail correspondence. Coaching sessions and check-in sessions are typically done over the phone.

Contact LSR Coaching and Consulting, LLC to schedule a complimentary session and learn how coaching can help you or your child!

Launching New Careers

Laura Rolands, ADHD Coach — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:32:29 +0000

Many colleagues and friends have recently asked me how I made the transition from being an HR professional in the automotive industry to becoming an Attention Coach who specializes in helping people overcome challenges related to ADD, AD/HD or other attention-related challenges. A key factor was to identify my mission, interests and strengths. My mission is to support, lead and inspire independence and success for people who have either been diagnosed with ADD or AD/HD or who are facing other attention-related challenges.

I identified these key factors with coaching, support and encouragement from Career Coach Maggie Mistal. Maggie recently asked me to write a guest post on her blog to describe more about my experience and share my advice for others in a similar situation. Please visit my guest post on Maggie’s blog which is scheduled to be published later today.

Have you faced and addressed challenges and transitions in your career? Please share your success stories here. Have you hired a coach or utilized other supporters in your life to help you rise to the challenge? What would YOU recommend to others?
