I wanted to get these dates on your calendar because we have two new LIVE trainings coming to the community. 📅 October 30 Your Young Adult Doesn’t Need More Job Listings — They Need a Path 1pm ET | 12pm CT | 11am MT | 10am PT If your young adult is applying for jobs without knowing what actually fits them, more applications may not be the answer. In this short training, we’ll look at how to help them identify a path—so they can move forward with more clarity and confidence. 📅 November 20 A Simple Strategy to Help Your Child Get Started and Follow Through 1pm ET | 12pm CT | 11am MT | 10am PT If your young adult knows what they need to do but struggles to actually START, we’re going to dig into one of the most practical strategies you can use. We’ll talk about how this can support: ✅ Task initiation ✅ Focus ✅ Follow-through Both trainings will be live here in the community. Check the calendar for details. And if anyone is in Colorado… I’ll also be speaking at the Neurodiversity Expo in Denver on Sunday, November 8. https://www.nextstepsneurodiversity.com/events/denver-co-2026 My topic will be: How AI Can Help Unleash Neurodivergent Potential I’m excited to share practical ways AI can help reduce friction, support executive functioning, improve communication, and help neurodivergent people better access their strengths. If you’re attending, let me know — I’d love to see some familiar faces there. Lots happening over the next few weeks, and I’m excited to bring more practical tools and support into this community.

If you could magically improve ONE of these areas for your teen or young adult starting tomorrow, which would you choose? A. Executive functioning OR motivation? B. Social confidence OR emotional regulation? C. Employment OR independent living skills? Pick one from each pair—or just choose the ONE area that would make the biggest difference right now. Then tell us why in the comments. I have a feeling a lot of parents here are dealing with the exact same thing...based on the answers could be this month's live training 😉

Watching the 3 Confidence Killers training is step one (you can find it under live trainings and replays and the training itself is only about 20 min). Now let’s turn it into action. For the next 7 days, come back to this thread and share your progress. Each day, look for these 4 things: ✅ One specific capability you caught (What did your teen or young adult do well that you may have normally overlooked?) ✅ One moment you paused before rescuing (Where did you catch yourself before jumping in, fixing, reminding, or taking over?) ✅ One coaching question you asked (Instead of giving the answer, what question did you ask that helped them think for themselves?) ✅ One small win to add to the Evidence Engine (What happened today that provides evidence that they are capable, growing, learning, or becoming more independent?) And one more thing: 🤝 Encourage another parent. After you post, reply to at least one other parent’s comment with encouragement, recognition, or something you noticed in their win. We’re not just building confidence in our kids. We’re building a community that helps each other keep going. 👇 Day 1 starts now. Share your first win, then encourage someone else below.

Your Young Adult Can Do the Job. It’s Getting Hired That Has Them Stuck. On Wednesday, September 23, I’m hosting a free live masterclass for parents of neurodivergent young adults who are struggling to gain traction in the job search. We’ll cover: • Why laziness or lack of motivation many not be the real cause • The 4 places neurodivergent job seekers get stuck • How to support without pressure, nagging, or taking over • How to make the job-search process easier to actually execute If your young adult is capable but stuck when it comes to employment, I’d love to have you join us. IMPORTANT: This is a separate live masterclass, so you'll need to register in advance to attend. The replay will NOT be posted inside this community. 👉 Save your free seat here: https://idealmindslaunch.com/awareness PS - If your young adult is capable but stuck when it comes to employment, I’d love to have you join us.

Join me September 10th at 7pm ET | 6pm CT | 5pm MT | 4pm PT for a training on: The 3 Confidence Killers Parents Accidentally Create — and What to Do Instead We’ll look at how confidence impacts motivation, independence, and willingness to take action — and what parents can do to help build more of it. If your teen or young adult often says “I can’t,” avoids trying, gives up quickly, or seems stuck, this training is for you. September 10 | 7pm ET | 6pm CT | 5pm MT | 4pm PT Drop a CONFIDENCE below if you’re planning to join us.
