How coaching works
An ADHD Coach is a coach partner who listens with both the coach's hat and the ADHD lens and supports you in transforming your relationship with your ADHD. We do this through meaningful conversations that focus on your strengths, important topics and struggles in your life as a way to learn about what is meaningful to you, how your ADHD is a help or a hindrance, and use all of that to grow the positive in your life, mitigate the struggles in you experience, and move you in the direction of who you truly want to be.
Coaching is delivered in three ways:
- One on One Coaching
- Group Coaching
- Virtual Coaching
One-on-One Coaching
The logistics of this goes something like this:
- We will meet between two, three, or four times per month for up to 55 minutes per session.
- After filling out a short prep-form before each session, you will bring the something specific you would like to work on to every session.
- In each session we will savor your progress, clarify the outcome you want from the session (don’t worry, we will talk about what that looks like in our first session), have a meaningful conversation geared to moving you forward, and identify together learnings and actions to take between sessions.
- In addition to working toward your session goals, we will be using those situations in our discussion to understand your ADHD. Over time, we will start to get a good picture of how your ADHD shows up, where it's helpful, and where it's… ummm… a disaster.
- During the sessions, we may Co-create processes and strategies that work with how you do what you do rather than just throwing strategies against the wall and seeing what sticks.
- Coaching is a process and change takes time. You have been “practicing” the way you have been doing things for a loooooong time… so give it some time. Timing varies from person to person. I ask for a commitment of 6 months to start… many stay much longer because they find a coaching partner so valuable.
Group Coaching
Group coaching is very similar to 1-1 coaching except there are between 4 and 8 other people in the group all working on their ADHD. We discuss ADHD topics and group members get short laser coaching on ADHD issues in their lives during the sessions.
Group coaching is different from 1-1 in the following ways:
- While you don't get as much personalized attention, you learn from seeing others being laser coached.
- There is a built in support structure with other members of the group for accountability and collaborative brainstorming.
- You learn to be great coaches for one another and there is often a strong bond that develops over time.
- Group coaching is more affordable.
Virtual Coaching
This is by far the most affordable. It includes classes I teach, online self-study programs as well as my Blog and upcoming e-books. The BEST way to keep up with these items is to get on my email list.
