Jonathan Carroll is the founder of Carroll Education Group, IEP Experts and The Business of Coaching. He received his BA in Communications from DePaul University and his MA in Learning Disabilities from Northeastern Illinois University.
In this discussion, you will hear Jonathan talk a lot about navigating relationships as someone with ADHD. Jonathan shares experiences from his first marriage and from his current relationship with his wife. He talks about the issues he has encountered and the strategies he’s implemented to work through these issues.
During the hot-seat portion of this discussion, Jonathan shares his struggles with public social interactions. To help him work through this situation, I turn things around and ask Jonathan what he would tell someone he’s coaching that is in the same situation and he’s got some great insight.
