Emergent Focus Explained

Just like jazz, where musicians collaborate and build off each other's creativity, the brain – a complex network of neurons – operates in a similar, intricate manner.

In the intricate system of the brain, especially in individuals with ADHD/AuDHD, it's not just isolated neurons firing. It's a dynamic, interconnected process where the whole is more intriguing than its individual parts. Emergent Focus comes into play, adapting to the unique rhythms of each brain, especially those with the zestful beats of neurodivergence.

Coaching someone with ADHD/AuDHD can be akin to leading a jazz ensemble.  Traditional methods might try to stick to the sheet music, urging everyone to play the same tune. Emergent Focus, on the other hand, encourages a bit of improvisation. We see the individual's unique thought patterns as a rich, unexplored melody.  Just as a jazz musician listens closely to the other players and responds in the moment, the coach LISTENS DEEPLY AND ADAPTS their coaching style to best support the client. The result is a dynamic interaction that leads to GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION. 

This approach doesn’t just accept the brain’s quirky harmonies; it revels in them. It’s like finding the groove in what others might see as an offbeat. It is through this COLLABORATIVE PROCESS that new possibilities emerge, helping clients gain CLARITY AND INSIGHT into their challenges and strengths. With Emergent Focus, coaching focuses on composing a piece that honors each individual's unique style, rather than trying to fit them into a mold.

In essence, this means that coaching with Emergent Focus is less about correcting and more about embracing and supporting each brain's originality. It recognizes that small adjustments and variations can lead to a whole new, beautiful composition. Life is more exciting when you can embrace the different rhythms and melodies, rather than sticking to the same old tune.
