Welcome to Episode 101 of the Your Next Move Podcast! In today’s episode, I dive into a mindset framework that will help you transform the way you approach your goals. Whether you're facing a career shift, trying to improve your personal life, or pursuing new business goals, this episode will show you how flipping your mindset can lead to faster success with less stress.

I introduce the Be-Do-Have Model—a powerful tool for anyone looking to reach their goals. The key is understanding that to achieve anything, you must first BE the person who achieves it, then DO the necessary actions, and finally, you will HAVE the desired outcome. Too often, people approach it in reverse: waiting for the “have” before taking action.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why most people get the Be-Do-Have model wrong, and how this keeps them stuck.

• How fear and hesitation can prevent you from stepping into the ideal version of yourself.

• The Courage Driven Mindset Framework—a new coaching method I use to help clients (and myself!) shift their mindset and take decisive action.

• The 3 actionable steps to shift your mindset: Recognize, Reframe, and Respond.

• Why consistency is key in applying the Be-Do-Have model to your life.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes peek into my personal growth journey and how I’m shifting my mindset in my own life.

Listen in and learn how to:

• Move past the waiting game and start being the person who achieves their goals now.

• Tackle fear and self-doubt to start taking bold actions instead of staying stuck in thinking mode.

• Use the Courage Driven Mindset Framework to reframe challenges and respond with confidence.

At the end of the episode, I challenge you to apply the Be-Do-Have model to your goals. Take action today and see what shifts.

In today’s episode, your host Kimberly is joined by Alexandra Gilbert, CEO of consulting and coaching business Cape-Able Consulting LLC, a consulting agency created to help people with ADHD or learning disabilities struggling in their careers to reach their highest potential in the workplace.

Alexandra talks about the indicators of ADHD, navigating diagnoses and treatments for learning disabilities, whether or not to self-disclose your disability in the workplace, and best practices in the workplace to support individuals with learning disabilities. She also shares her ADHD and Dyslexia Diagnoses early on as a child and how those experiences have shifted and evolved as she moved into adulthood and into the workplace.

Join in on this unique conversation with Kimberly & Alexandra and find out how you can create a thriving and equitable workplace for yourself and those around you.

KEY POINTS:

- Types of ADHD: Inattentive, Hyperactive, and Combined

- Alexandra’s Dyslexia & ADHD story

- Should you self-disclose your learning disability in the workplace?

- Unmasking at home and in the workplace

- Key identifiers of learning disability as an adult

- How to effectively identify your strengths

- Best principles vs best practices for ADHD in the workplace

QUOTABLES:

“I described how people with learning disabilities or ADHD — when they are looking at their jobs, the job should be challenging, not hard.” – Alexandra Gilbert

“Inattentive ADHD is someone who's a little spacey and looks like they're paying attention, but not mentally there. Someone who has hyperactive ADHD, in women, tends to be those who are very talkative, chatty, [or] social butterflies. And they're usually very high achieving women.” – Alexandra Gilbert

“One of those things that makes it really hard for people with ADHD is they feel like they need to compare themselves to people who are neurotypical. They fundamentally think differently [and] work differently.” – Alexandra Gilbert
