Awareness Engagement Completion
-
AEC is a theory developed by Cameron and Denslow Brown aka The Organizer Coach
-
In order to complete a task, you have to engage a task
-
“The problem is not usually the engine, it’s the gearbox” ADHD people spend too much time revving our engines while in neutral.
-
Cameron helps his ADHD clients to discover the tasks they need to do and the ones they can simply shed.
-
People are either too far into awareness and do not achieve completion or they are trying so hard to complete a task that they simply are not aware.
