Some excellent strategies here for becoming a powerful and competent presenter. One of the tips is to own the fact that you are nervous. This vulnerability gets the buy in from the audience and they will be rooting for you! Also practice makes better!

As a dog mama and therapist, I couldn’t resist reposting this picture. We can learn so much from our fur babies!
We can be going through the exact same situation but have very different realities based on what we personally bring to the table. Some of it is physical, some mental. Let’s keep the communication open and don’t assume we know how things are for someone else. It’s always best to ask 🤓😎

TAKE A DEEP BREATH—A GOOD, deep breath—and let it out. If you’re feeling a little lighter, you’re not imagining it. Mental health professionals and yogis alike recommend deep breathing because of all the amazing ways it can benefit your mental health, not just your respiratory system.

Meet your therapist: Hi, I’m Leigh Montgomery. You may notice my accent when we first meet. That’s because I’m originally from South Africa, lived in Scotland, Boston and now wonderful Pittsburgh.

I love working with people, and helping them discover their authentic self. I specifically love working with individuals with adhd, anxiety, MS, substance abuse and life transitions.
I’ve been living with multiple sclerosis for the last 8 years and was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult - so my lived experience really helps me connect with my clients.

I’m pretty straight forward, and I will challenge you, but I do this in a very nurturing and supportive way.

When I’m not at work I’ll be walking my dog, driving my twin boys around or watching reality dating shows! I also love going to estate sales, collecting beautiful objects, travel, being in nature, taking photographs, learning anything to do with psychology, being with kind people and doing this all mindfully.

I really love what I do for a living - I’ve had many jobs, worked in many industries (typical for an individual with ADHD) and finally feel that I am in the most incredibly, fulfilling and rewarding position. I am honored to be able to sit and hold space for my clients.

THIS! The rebel mindset so common in adults with adhd. “No one will tell me what to do!” This so often leads to problems with authority figures, problems in relationships, and at work!

That rebel mindset gives us a surge of dopamine and it feels so good in the moment but can sometimes have really bad consequences later.

So before you dip your toe in the water - PAUSE - breathe - think about the consequences - and then act.
