FAQ
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client. There are usually multiple goals that the client wants to work on during the session. Over time the goals might change, and the coach will help the client work through those changes.
The coach will empower the client, but won’t do the client's work. The coach will listen to what a client is saying, observe their unspoken body language cues, and reflect back to the client. The coach will not tell the client what to do but will guide them to come to conclusions on their own. In order for the coaching relationship to be effective, the client must be motivated to change.
HOW DOES ADHD COACHING DIFFER FROM LIFE COACHING?
An ADHD coach will use their understanding of ADHD to help the client succeed. They offer tools and resources they learned specifically to enable individuals with ADHD to thrive.
