It cost the company a great deal of money, and its long-standing reputation.<\/p><p>When I asked my executive client with ADHD what questions he\u2019d asked himself prior to making that fateful decision, he replied: \u201cQuestions? I don\u2019t ask myself questions. Should I?\u201d<\/p><p>That moment revealed the most overlooked leadership skill I coach: metacognition.<\/p><h2>Metacognition is the leadership skill behind every other leadership skill.<\/h2><p>Before you can prioritize, delegate, regulate emotions, or make strategic decisions, you must first be aware of <em>how<\/em> you&#8217;re thinking.<\/p><p>Not everyone with ADHD experiences this absence of awareness of their thinking. But for those who do, the internal consequences are significant:<\/p><ul><li>Overestimating their abilities<\/li><li>Underestimating time<\/li><li>Mental fatigue<\/li><li>Increased distractibility<\/li><li>Reduced mental flexibility and adaptability<\/li><\/ul><p>These internal challenges lead to external difficulties:<\/p><ul><li>Navigating hard conversations<\/li><li>Making strong hiring decisions<\/li><li>Creating truly strategic choices<\/li><li>Executing in a timely way<\/li><li>Building and sustaining credibility<\/li><\/ul><h2>What Is Metacognition?<\/h2><p>Metacognition is your &#8220;thinking about your thinking.&#8221;<\/p><p>It\u2019s the ability to step back and observe how you\u2019re thinking so that you can anticipate, plan, adjust and adapt &#8211; all in real time.<\/p><p>Metacognition is a core executive functioning skill often impacted by ADHD. It\u2019s the last skill to develop, usually in the late 20\u2019s, and it\u2019s often delayed by 2-3 years compared to neurotypical folks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/ca\/blog\/on-your-way-with-adhd\/202308\/adhd-and-metacognition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/ca\/blog\/on-your-way-with-adhd\/202308\/adhd-and-metacognition<\/a><\/p><p>This delay matters.<\/p><p>It\u2019s a gap that continues into adulthood and impacts all contexts of your life:<\/p><ul><li>You may think you\u2019re communicating effectively, only to find out that no one understood you.<\/li><li>You find yourself reacting emotionally when you receive feedback from a peer or your spouse.<\/li><li>You see all the details of the project, but become distracted by rabbit holes instead of staying focused on the overall picture.<\/li><\/ul><p>Metacognitive training is one of the most valuable leadership development investments available.<\/p><h2>Why High-Performing Executives with ADHD Need Metacognitive Training<\/h2><p>Executives with ADHD do not have a lack of intelligence, vision, or ambition. But they struggle mightily to manage the invisible cognitive demands that accompany high-performance roles: inhibiting distractions, planning time and tasks, getting started on complex matters, prioritizing competing objectives, translating vision into consistent execution &#8211; to name just a few!<\/p><p>While productivity tools and time management systems are helpful, they don\u2019t address the underlying cognitive processes that drive them effectively. Having extra time doesn\u2019t help much if you\u2019re not skilled at monitoring yourself or getting started on a task efficiently.<\/p><p>Metacognitive training encourages folks to understand how they think before attempting to optimize what they do.<\/p><h2>Do you have weak metacognition?<\/h2><p>If you listen carefully, you\u2019ll hear it in the way you speak. Weak metacognition sounds like statements.<\/p><p>\u201cThe team has 30 days to complete this project.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThere were six new files on my desk today.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThis is an appalling outcome! Get it fixed!\u201d<\/p><p>Strong metacognition sounds like questions.<\/p><p>\u201cWhat does the team need to complete this project in 30 days?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cHow shall I prioritize these six new files?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWhat does my team need to prevent this from happening again?\u201d<\/p><p>Practice turning your statements into open-ended questions.<\/p><p>What do you experience?<\/p><h2>What makes metacognitive training necessary?<\/h2><p>Many leaders with ADHD excel in crisis environments where urgency creates clarity. You experience a sudden surge of dopamine and norepinephrine which brings all your pre-frontal cortex functions online.<\/p><p>But in calmer moments when you don\u2019t feel motivated or interested, you cannot access these abilities as well. Metacognitive training scaffolds your thinking so that you can create access to these skills.<\/p><p>Metacognitive questions create a pause between impulse and action. It\u2019s in that pause (after asking yourself the questions) that you gain the ability to choose, rather than react.<\/p><p>For executives with ADHD, metacognitive training is not simply about becoming more productive. It\u2019s about becoming more intentional, adaptable, and self-directed.<\/p><h4><i>It\u2019s the difference between relying on urgency to perform and being able to access your strengths consistently &#8211; even when there\u2019s no crisis demanding your attention.<\/i><\/h4><h2>Metacognitive Training and Coaching<\/h2><p>Coaching is the best modality I know of to develop awareness of your thinking.<\/p><p>In coaching, we ask open-ended questions with an air of curiosity. These questions have a dual purpose. They\u2019re designed to be broad for deeper exploration, and also to model how to do this for yourself.<\/p><p>In my practice, I reflect with my clients at every session about what\u2019s been working, or not. The questions I ask usually begin with the word \u2018what\u2019 in order to allow the client to tap into a deeper level of knowing. These questions may sound like, \u201cWhat did you notice worked for you? What else?\u201d<\/p><p>When we\u2019re working concretely on a plan, we always generate a list of the questions we asked that led to the final result. It doesn\u2019t remain a mystery! The questions matter.<\/p><p>The questions may sound like, \u201cWhat might get in your way on the day you plan to have this conversation? How do you want to mitigate against these distractions?\u201d<\/p><p>Over time, the questions that we explore during a coaching session become internalized and part of your inner voice:<\/p><ul><li>What am I assuming here?<\/li><li>What information am I missing?<\/li><li>What is making this task difficult to start?<\/li><li>What would make success more likely?<\/li><li>What is the highest-value next step?<\/li><\/ul><h3>Metacognitive training works!<\/h3><p>An executive I worked with for one year had rated her time management at 0\/10 when we began. No system could get her to follow up with valuable clients in a reasonable period of time! She would inevitably avoid them completely &#8211; and then feel deeply ashamed.<\/p><p>Her breakthrough came when she saw her planner as her tool. She learned to trust herself to use it effectively by asking herself metacognitive questions:<\/p><p>\u201cWhen do I want to follow up?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWhat might get in my way?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWhat will I need to get started easily?\u201d<\/p><p>Once she learned to trust her thinking to guide her actions, she was unstoppable. She rated her ability to manage her time at 10\/10!<\/p><p>The quality of every decision, every action, and every result is determined by the quality of your thinking that came beforehand.<\/p><p>Peak performers know this.<\/p><p>When you ask open-ended questions, there are no limits.<\/p><p>Book a call with me. Let\u2019s explore how to use your higher-order thinking for powerful outcomes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He\u2019d made a fateful decision.
