About The Meeting:

About The Meeting: Alan Brown heads the West Coast office of DeVito/Verdi, a medium-sized ad agency. Except for a stint in software, Brown has worked in advertising for 23 years.

But -- as someone with ADHD not diagnosed until well into adulthood -- he's also had to deal with underachievement, substance abuse and "worse." On his own, he's worked up a set of coping strategies.

To reach out, Brown pulls together what he has -- his experience, his communication skills, his training as a coach -- to bring us the videos ADD Crusher I and ADD Crusher II. More recently, he contributes some thoughts to the 2012 anthology, 365+1 Ways to Succeed with ADHD. And this year, he'll present his ideas at conferences around the country (and beyond).
