In this 24/7 global economy, feeling frequently rushed and impatient, becoming easily distracted and forgetful can come from environmentally induced attention deficit disorder. Dr. Edward M. Hallowell was the first to name adult attention deficit disorder, or Adult A.D.D., back in 1995, and now he is taking on the rest of modern life in "CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked and About to Snap! Strategies for Coping in a World Gone A.D.D." (Ballantine Books, 2006).Technology and activity overload tend to be the consequences of living where everybody is trying to do more in less time. Yet, we must be able to maintain our focus and restore our energy as we bend, stretch and bounce around at work and in our personal life. We know that if we don't prioritize our life activities, we'll find ourselves spread so thin that we won't have time for those people and things that are important to us.
In today's environment of changing technology and evolving complexity, we don't have to fake it. Yet, we must keep growing our abilities to grasp the success and security we seek. Success comes from persistence. Persistence comes from self-coaching and the support and encouragement of others. To keep in step with these life changes, we need to put into play personal resilience. As leaders, we must coach family, friends, employees, free agents, and volunteers on building their own personal resilience.

You will be encouraged to gain substance for handling turbulence; the insight to detect opportunities and threats; and the strength, spirit and courage to act responsibly.
