10 Top Organising Tips for Dyslexics
Over the years I have had to find alternate ways of doing certain everyday tasks, so I developed various ways to cope with my Dyslexia, methods that have also helped thousands of others. Now I would like to share them with you.
Do you realise how much you have evolved during your life?
During my life it has never failed to astound me just how much people underestimate, fail to treasure, or even remember the successes that they have achieved in their lives. Each and every one of us has had successes; however too often we either don't see them for what they are or, if we do acknowledge them at the time, we soon forget.
5 Top Tips for Personal Development
This five point philosophy is based on some of the methods Genevieve Dawid's parent used to help her overcome daily challenges as a dyslexic. These methods are very simple but highly effective. Over the years she has developed and expanded upon these five principles, to help people in all walks of life, to deal with a variety of situations.
How Christmas changed my life - by a Dyslexic
Genevieve was born with dyslexic and dyspraxic and struggled with her reading at school. One Christmas her mother used a simple ruler and card and totally transformed her way of learning.
In 1997, my business partner and I formed an international recruitment company. My partner was in charge of the junior recruitment division. My role was to assess, select and mentor applicants for senior management roles in leading, international companies. Our research involved tracking all of our placements and closely following trends within the recruitment market place. For example, over a ten-year period, we discovered on average that 50% of senior managers didn't gain promotion by having a degree; they were promoted internally. Whilst tracking these results month-by-month, year-by-year we also started to notice that approximately 40% of our candidates were dyslexic to some degree.
Self-Help Book instead of Pills
According to the US National Committee for Quality Health Assurance, more than 11 million Americans (about 1 in 20) have major depression. Interestingly, only about half of these are still taking medication six months after being diagnosed. If these wonder drugs are so great, why do so many people stop taking them? Could it be that they are not getting the results they want or people are getting fed up with the unwanted side effects?
Dyslexia Parenting
When I was a child, dyslexia had hardly been heard of. My parents invented ways of learning which were ground breaking and really helped with my learning. However, if diagnosis and support isn’t offered by schools, dyslexic children are definately at a massive disadvantage to their peers who are without the learning difficulty.
Explaining Dyslexia
As a dyslexic, writing my first, recently published book, ‘The Achiever’s Journey’ (www.theachieversjourney.com) I quickly realised that people were generally not well informed about dyslexia – what it is and how it affects people’s daily lives. Some people see it as a stigma, others believe it to be brain damage; neither of which is true.
Famous dyslexics
Although dyslexics consistently experience difficulties in learning, reading and interpeting numbers, it is well documented that they are highly gifted in other areas. Genevieve Dawid highlight some of the famous dyslexics and their achievements.
