What is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaching is a personalized support service for individuals diagnosed with ADHD.
It involves collaborative goal-setting, skill-building, and strategies to manage ADHD-related challenges like organization, time management, and focus.
Coaches provide education, accountability, and tailored techniques to enhance self-awareness and confidence, aiming to improve overall functioning and quality of life.
ADDCA, the renowned ADHD Coaching Academy based in New York defines ADHD as:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as a unique brain wiring which requires engaged interest with a clear, purposeful intention in order to activate and access attention so an individual can manage the brain's Executive Functioning.
Edward M. Hollowell quote from Delivered by Distraction explains:
"Having ADD makes life paradoxical. You can superfocus sometimes, but also space out when you least mean to. You can radiate confidence and also feel as insecure as a cat in a kennel. You can perform at the highest level, feeling incompetent as you do so. You can be loved by many, but feel as if no one really likes you. You can absolutely, totally, intend to do something, then forget to do it. You can have the greatest ideas in the world, but feel as if you can’t accomplish a thing.”
