ADHD Coaching?

Your ADHD coach is a mentor and motivator who understands how ADHD’s impact can be pervasive but needn’t be life-limiting.  Coaching from this position of ADHD understanding is very effective because it works with the brain type rather than against it; it doesn’t start with the assumption you’re “broken” and need to be fixed. It’s a strength-based model that empowers you to make your own, self-directed, change.

ADHD Coaching recognizes that ADHD is simply a different type of brain wiring, and allows you to reframe you experiences in that light.  It teaches you ways to optimize your environment to bend the world to your needs.  A good analogy might be to think about left-handed people in a world optimized for the right-handed.  In this scenario, it is obvious that solutions to the same problem might look very different, and that would be perfectly OK.

Learn to use ADHD as a frame of reference, rather than label or excuse.  Understand how it affects you.  Empower yourself to get more of what’s important to you – and less of what drives you crazy – using effective strategies designed for the way our brains work.
