Productivity Pathfinder for ADHD Adults







- You have trouble getting started on tasks, and often accomplish nothing all day
- Your chronic lateness has affected relationships and hurt your professional reputation
- You feel overwhelmed at the thought of having to plan or prioritize
- You get paralyzed when you have to make decisions
- You have lost out on opportunities because you didn’t feel “ready”
- You are so stressed out at your lack of productivity that you can’t relax with your family.
- Your clutter has kept you from inviting people into your home.
- You feel deep shame at being unable to do things that others seem to have no problem with.

I call this process of transformation “SELF-MASTERY.” It is not quick.[/text_block]


Your unique combination of ADD traits will be overlaid by your own personality, tendencies and preferences. All of these different aspects of yourself interact with each other to affect the kinds of strategies that will work for you.
No matter how great those strategies are, often mindset blocks stop people from successfully implementing them and seeing results. Without ongoing support, it's almost impossible to for anyone to recognize mindset issues in themselves while tweaking and tailoring new strategies.[/text_block]






I’ve devoted my career to helping people like you to become the best self you can be.
Since 2001, I've coached and trained thousands of people with ADD / ADHD traits develop personalized strategies to overcome, break through or master the tendencies that have been holding them back .
I’m very excited to introduce you to my affordable program that’s been years in the making.[/text_block]

Each lesson gives just enough strategies to get you started, without overwhelm.
This time-frame and the well-structured sessions have given me a chance to create a manageable overview in my mind, both of barriers and strategies for overcoming them, and also of how each issue relates to each other.
This is much more effective than reading books, or even attending groups.
Because you can go back to a session and access the handouts, there is no stress to get it all done at once, but it’s cohesive and I feel held accountable (to myself!) without external pressure.

My goal is to ensure that you take full control of your productivity, with confidence that YOU are in charge – not your ADD traits. Quick tips and band-aid solutions simply won’t get you there. If they had… well, you wouldn’t be reading this now!
The topics are presented at a gentle pace that allows you to thoroughly integrate what you learn.
This no-pressure pace gives you the gift of TIME that you may never have granted yourself.
You don’t have to continue for the full training. But I’m confident that once you start to experience the transformations in Pathfinder you’ll be excited to complete the journey!
You’ll also have opportunities to sprint…
Within Pathfinder, you’ll be interacting with people at all different levels. You'll have the chance to hear about strategies that may be further ahead, and to try them if you'd like.[/text_block]

Bonnie Mincu helped me make sense of the “primordial soup” in which I found myself.
My particular problem is chronic procrastination, a feature of my life for over 20 years. I spoke to several ADHD/ADD coaches, including ones suggested by my doctor, but Bonnie Mincu stood head and shoulders above the rest. She has been a life-saver!
She tailored an approach that was useful for me, was able to give of herself and share common challenges she has faced herself as well as those of her clients, whilst preserving confidentiality.
I have found her Productivity Pathfinder invaluable as a backstop to the work we have done in session.

- Short, bite-sized pieces – Every 2 weeks, you will open up a new lesson that takes you further along your path. These were designed to be overwhelm-proof, focusing on just one key concept at a time. Each lesson is SHORT!
- Video, audio and notes – The material is presented to serve all learning modalities, and you can choose the way you prefer to consume it: Viewing, listening, reading, or all three. You are encouraged to download the material so you’ll have it permanently.
[/text_block]


- Office Hours calls are recorded – If you can’t make the call during its live scheduling, you may type your question in advance into the call web page’s question box, and hear me answer it when you listen to the recording.
[/text_block]


- WORK IT – Get It Done Fast!
Use timer games in different ways to plow through those boring tasks you’ve been procrastinating on. You’ll get them done in record time during the live session, using me and the group as “body doubles” to help you focus. While you work in short timed bursts, I’ll answer any questions you submit… so you get an extra Q&A opportunity. - WORK IT – Clear Clutter Now!
Work as you learn my ADD-friendly system for clearing clutter fast, based on a rapid no-brainer sorting method. Instead of the tedium of endless decision-making, you’ll love this exhilarating way of busting through your clutter without stress or boredom. Count on getting through a significant pile of papers or clutter during the live class. You’ll want this replay this recording again and again. - WORK IT – Writing Breakthrough!
Whether you’re a professional writer, or simply deal with email, wouldn’t it be great to get through that writing a lot quicker? Using the approach taught in Pathfinder, work through an actual piece of your writing during the session. You’ll be amazed how painless it is to quickly capture your thoughts, put them in order and write a quick draft. All that’s left is the final editing touches.

- Get a different webinar every 4 to 6 weeks, each followed by Q&A

[/text_block]

- Real-life Practice Assignments
Each lesson will have suggestions of how to put what you learn into practice in your own work or personal life. That will allow you to see for yourself how it works for you, or how you might want to modify it. - Self-Coaching WORKBOOK
Keep yourself on track with the online (and downloadable) Pathfinder Workbook. This will help you record how you intend to put the tools and concepts into use, and track your progress. - Reminder Emails
Although you’ll be notified each week when you get a new Pathfinder lesson, it’s easy to forget to open it. So if you didn’t, you’ll be reminded again to check in with the material. (No worries… remember, each lesson is short!)

Bonnie really knows her way around the ADHD brain.
And she's a delightful guide, appearing around the corner, when you've digressed, to lead you back with humor, precision, and powerful ROI persuasions. It's wonderfully poignant to be so “known” and affectionately observed in Bonnie's well-chosen stories and her many resonant suggestions.
After years of reading books, online postings, listening to podcasts, and attending the ADD Resource's annual conference, I finally found a living framework in which to observe my patterns and gain new skills. Bonnie's provided so many different ways to access the content and spirit. I loved having the notes, the slides, the assignments and bonus things, and printed everything out for a notebook that I'll visit often.

But no matter how much the price may increase in the future…. Join Pathfinder now and you'll be grandfathered in at only $57 per month... for the life of the Pathfinder program (as long as you remain a continuous member).[/text_block]

Once you sign up, you will automatically be charged the same low fee every month until you’ve achieved your “SELF-MASTERY” badge.
After achieving Self-Mastery, you may be offered the option to continue membership and gain access to additional material.
OPTION to CANCEL
Pathfinder membership is a monthly subscription. You are not under contract, and you may cancel at any time with no obligation.[/text_block]


- SHORT VIDEO LESSONS – Every two weeks you get a new lesson presented with video, audio and slides to consume at your own pace
- COMPLETE NOTES, and TOOLS to download for each lesson and keep permanently
- LIVE “OFFICE HOURS” with Q&A – Get mini-coaching or ask me anything. Live sessions recorded for your replay convenience
- LIVE “WORK IT” sessions to learn while you work on a new technique – recorded for replay
- COMMUNITY GROUP FORUM – completely private (not in Facebook) just for Pathfinder members.
- MOTIVATIONAL QUICK QUIZES mark your progress as you graduate each level and stage towards Self-Mastery
- WORKBOOK for each lesson lets you record your insights and intentions, helps your self-accountability




The program length to graduate through all 5 Stages is approximately 50 lessons. However, you will have the opportunity to get quicker answers for any specific needs you have. The live Q&A sessions each month are times to “ask anything!” You’ll also be able to pose questions in the Community Forum, and get opportunities for laser coaching.
In each Stage, you'll valuable insights, strategies and tools that many people have found life-changing.
It’s EASY to get quick answers. There are loads of books, webinars, blogs and training programs with quick tips and “Top 10” lists of advice. (I give plenty of quick training on various topics myself!) But quick answers, without understanding how to develop strategies or how to apply them to your own situation, aren’t going to get you far enough.
You can waste years searching for that quick fix and avoiding actually changing anything. And sadly, a great many ADD people do.[/text_block]


Pathfinder has been created for BUSY people like you who don’t have time for long, involved lessons. That’s why each lesson is small, short and bite-sized. Even if you miss several lessons when they roll out, you’ll be able to go through them easily later.
It's your choice how you consume the lesson material: by video or audio or notes. Each lesson tends to be one to three videos, each video being 8-15 minutes long. Or you can download the audio only and listen as you do basic tasks at home, driving or commuting to work. If you prefer to learn by reading only, just download the notes.
The real change comes when you practice what you learn. The suggested practice assignments are all ones that fit into your own routine, and should help you do what you do better and faster. The point is to save you time, not make you work more!
A lot of overwhelm comes from running in place, instead of knowing HOW to work more efficiently, and to approach your work in a calm, confident and systematic way. Learning how to get out of your own way is what ADHD “self-mastery” is all about.[/text_block]


Imagine how great it would feel to KNOW the solutions that will work for you, ACCEPT that they’ll take a little trial and error, and be able to take PRIDE in your step-by-step improvements!
[/text_block]


Have you gone through any process of self-awareness to identify the kinds of solutions that YOU need, at a particular time, and for a particular problem? When you decided a solution “didn’t work,” did you work through exactly WHAT didn’t work about it?
ADD-type impatience can make us quick to abandon things that may have actually worked quite well.
With traits of ADD / ADHD, the RIGHT strategy is likely one that’s been customized to suit YOU. There are a lot of factors that can make a strategy “right … or make it seem wrong! A simple tweak might have made all the difference. Or perhaps the new solution simply wasn’t done long enough to become a habit.
Pathfinder gives you the step-by-step process, the time, and expert guidance, to work through developing the perfect strategies for you. And if you're frustrated or stuck, there are plenty of opportunities to ASK ME in “Office Hours”, live webinars or in the Community Forum. (Pathfinders can give each other great suggestions as well!)
[/text_block]


The material builds on previous lessons, but you can always go back and access a previous lesson that you skipped.
Remember, your goal is to reach Self-Mastery, building up your knowledge and insight over time. So the value you’ll gain from participating in Pathfinder is in customizing what you learn and applying it best to yourself at a pace that allows you to integrate each new piece into your life.
[/text_block]


To end your monthly recurring membership, simply email us, or click the cancellation button in your Pathfinder members’ website, and you should receive an automatic acknowledgement by email. (If you do not receive the cancellation confirmation, you can email us for support).
You must cancel at least 7 days in advance of your next month’s billing date to avoid being charged for an additional month.
- If you're concerned you're not opening the lessons each time…
Each lesson that opens for you while you're in Pathfinder contains notes, resources and audio that you can download and keep. (You'll need to be a Pathfinder member to view the videos.) So make sure to download the material... even if you don't consume the lessons right away, you'll be able to refer back to them for years.
[/text_block]
