263: Turning Passion into Purpose with Sharon Collon

Just wrapped up an incredible session on the Her Empire Builder Show with Sharon Collon. 

Sharon is a credentialed award winning ADHD coach & consultant who is passionate about helping people with ADHD have functional and fun lives. Sharon uses her lived experience, 15 years of research and formal training at ADDCA to help and support those living with ADHD.

When her first son was diagnosed with ADHD she felt incredibly alone. There was information about how to help the child, but there was nothing on how to support the whole family. The journey of raising her beautiful boys with ADHD was isolating and exhausting. The stress severely affected her health.

She realised that she was only surviving each day and things had to change. She began researching ADHD and developing systems to work with the ADHD brain. She realised that she could change the environment around her children to work with their strengths. She loves anything that makes life with ADHD easier!

Sharon's company, The Functional Family, has assisted over 35,000 families and individuals with ADHD. She has created online support groups where parents can ask questions, connect and support each other. She offers one on one coaching, parent mentoring, a blog, podcast, a membership and a 6 week online program.

She wants to help those with ADHD get back their time and energy, but most importantly create space for the good stuff!

Here are three key takeaways you won’t want to miss:

🔹 Passion Over Profit: Sharon emphasizes the importance of leading with passion rather than profit in business, sharing her inspiring dedication to supporting families dealing with ADHD through free training and a successful Facebook support group.

🔹 Work-Life Balance: Success isn’t just measured in business metrics. Sharon highlights her approach to maintaining boundaries and ensuring quality family time, setting a powerful example of balancing personal life and professional aspirations.

🔹 Harnessing ADHD Strengths: Dive into the positive aspects of ADHD, such as enhanced problem-solving and risk-taking abilities. Sharon likens managing ADHD to Spiderman's web-slinging, focusing on developing skills to harness its unique strengths for entrepreneurship.
