Global in Vision, Creative in Action…
The expression “Global Creative” refers to how smart innovators with ADHD process information (globally, not sequentially) and how they take action (creatively, not systematically). G-C is a descriptor many individuals with ADHD or ADHD tendencies can identify with*.
Global Creatives find success across a spectrum of professions. Because of their processing style, G-C’s often see and make important connections that others do not. The key is that Global Creatives are able to focus their attention and efforts on strength areas (leadership, creative and innovative production), and minimize the typical challenge areas (detail work, physical organization).
Global Creatives are often ‘front end loaders’. They can produce many more ideas than they can possibly complete. The result is numerous incomplete projects, a propensity to default into a ‘latest and loudest’ task completion mode and a sense of overwhelm.
The most successful G-C’s operate within their most effective roles and identify and develop resources to fulfill ineffective but necessary roles.
Many ADHD resources focus on providing basic solutions for basic challenges one faces with ADHD. The purpose of this resource site is to provide Global Creatives with higher level solutions for the dynamic challenges they face in their work day so they can get done what needs to get done and experience a sense of accomplishment at the end of their work day.
*This is in no way suggesting that ADHD is not real. ADHD is a very real disorder. In the midst of the disease individuals with ADHD can lose sight of their many positive attributes. Part of the mission of GlobalCreative.org is to bring a balanced and innovative perspective to the ADHD resource mix.
