AD/HD Coaching
ADHD Coaching follows the same principles and ethical standards as Life Coaching; however, the approach is specifically tailored to address the particular needs, gifts, and perspective of an individual living with ADHD.
Given the pace of life today, we all experience distractibility, disorganization, forgetfulness, procrastination, and impulsive behavior. Yet for someone with ADHD, these dysfunctions occur with such frequency or to such a degree that they impact all aspects of life – relationships, careers, health, finance – creating frustration, feelings of alienation, and issues with lowered self esteem…..a feeling of being out of sync with the rest of the “organized world”.
AD/HD coaching provides the structure and support necessary to change life-long habits and learn new skill sets. It often focuses on the “nuts and bolts” of daily living, such as:
- meeting deadlines
- managing money
- honoring commitments and keeping promises
- avoiding procrastination
- managing time
- effective transitioning between tasks and activities.
AD/HD coaches are skilled at helping a client identify and prioritize goals, then assist with the simplification of those goals into manageable steps. Perhaps most importantly, an AD/HD coach holds her client accountable as needed, often with daily check-ins by email or phone
But AD/HD coaching is so much more than correcting behavior! It’s not only about changing habits or learning new skills or trying to fit into a world that doesn’t always understand. It’s about discovering – and owning up to - your own juicy uniqueness.
