As a parent, I saw a child with ADHD and executive function issues absorb the negativity of teachers who dealt with forgotten textbooks, missing or incomplete homework and other issues by saying, “You have to try harder. Be more responsible!” Then he worked with a coach, and I witnessed my child absorb positive feedback and start to recognize his talents and abilities. Even though he is now a young adult, the techniques he learned are still effective, and he still works with his coach! Once I saw the difference that good coaching can make, I knew I had found my second career. As a coach, my greatest reward is working with other parents’ children, teens and young adults. There’s nothing like seeing their self-esteem grow as we celebrate each success, small and large, and they make the change from “No, I can’t” to “YES, I CAN!” My training showed me how many techniques I use with children and teens with ADHD also work well with adults. So now, I’ve expanded my services to include people of all ages. Don’t be dragged down by the distractions; let’s work together to help you achieve your goals!
