Discussion Questions to Consider:
Questions from Peg Dawson, following the executive skills questionnaire:
-Look at your strengths (your three highest scores).
How do you use them on the job?
Are they skills that your job requires you to use frequently?
Do they impact how you manage your home or tasks outside of work?
-Look at your weaknesses (your three lowest scores).
Do these make some aspects of your work challenging?
Have you figured out coping strategies to compensate for those weaknesses?
Are there strategies you think might help you improve those skills?
Relating to Dave’s Experience:
-How are you like Dave? How are you different?
-What executive skills challenges did Dave exhibit that you could relate to?
-Dave uses knitting to help him sit still. What strategies do you use?
-Dave says he no longer is “in constant conflict with this invisible thing.” How do you accept your own limitations as only a PIECE of who you are?
-Dave has troubles with organization. What has helped him manage? What helps YOU manage your time and space? Is there a “co-pilot” in your life?
