If you have listened to a few of these podcasts now then you will be aware that I am shattering at least one of these old beliefs that held me back by learning to speak Spanish. What's my point here? Well... the reason why I want to address this topic and mindset in this episode is because I see it alot on my 1:1 dyslexia coaching clients, that these beliefs of "I can't" are hold them back from even trying. Even things from their childhood at school is where some of these beliefs started having been holding them back their entire adulthood. What I have noticed in myself and others is that, sometimes we use these "I can't" phrase to protect ourselves from the humiliation of trying and failing. There's no blame here, I get it, I've been there myself.

This episode is a little bit different as I am joined by special guest Paula Felstead. Paula's inspiring story is that of success following removing negative thoughts of dyslexia, setting up systems that work for her, and leaning into her strengths. Paula also shares the same belief that refering to dyslexia as a 'superpower' is totally unrelatable to most people with dyslexia and is often unhelpful to the specific challenges of dyslexia in adults. A little bit about Paula; I am a Chief Technology & Operations Officer for an international traveltech company with 25+ experience in technology and business transformation across multiple industries. I am also a non-executive director for a French publicly listed company. I have lived and worked with dyslexia and dyspraxia since was diagnosed aged 10. have learned to play to my strengths and manage the areas where struggle, not always 100% but good enough to keep progressing. I struggle to relate to the two popular ideas at the moment, 1) dyslexia is a super power its not, we just think and process things differently, and 2) that somehow these ways of thinking are disorders, syndromes, or development failures, my view is that our brains naturally developed differently. The fact that a large proportion of the world doesn't cope very well with our capabilities is something that we need to wNork on but it doesn't mean that somehow we are 'less' than others. Key topics: Being diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia at age 10, Removing the negative thoughts about dyslexia, Setting up systems to work with the way I think, and Leaning into my strengths.
