Creativity and Innovation

Leaders with ADHD have unique ability to think in unconventional ways, leading to innovative solutions and fresh perspectives on business challenges.

Hyperfocus or “Deep Dives” for Expertise

Sustaining deep focus on interesting topics and problems is rather easy for leaders with ADHD. This allows them to deeply explore topics of interest and deep dive in learning, exploring, problem solving, and cultivating solutions to complex challenges. They are able to develop keen expertise in given areas or provide innovative solutions rather quickly as a result.

Resilience & Strong Crisis Leadership

Overcoming challenges and set-backs are familiar to leaders with ADHD and as a result they have developed resiliency and grit that is often required to succeed in complex business environments or high stress situations. They often become highly attuned to what needs to be done during times of crisis, making them some of the better leaders in high stakes and high stress situations.

Energy & Enthusiasm

High energy and enthusiasm, especially when working in areas of high interest allow leaders positively impact team culture, motivation, and overall moral when energy is managed effectively.

Empathy & Inclusivity

Leaders with ADHD often develop a deep sense of empathy and understanding for others’ challenges, fostering inclusive and supportive work environments.

Frequently Asked

Yes, in a clinical counseling setting. It’s important to understand our work together in coaching will never include or involve counseling or diagnosis. If you’re interested in getting a formal ADHD diagnosis, I can recommend clinical professionals to work with alongside our work together. I will not provide you with an ADHD diagnosis as your coach.

Integrating ADHD Coaching into your executive coaching focuses on improving organization, time management, decision-making, and emotional regulation that may be hindering you from leveling up in your leadership or career. Techniques may include creating structured routines, using technology for reminders, practicing more mindful habits, and leveraging your team more effectively. Once you find a way to make your ADHD work better for you, it frees up more time and energy to achieve more.

There’s likely a reason you struggle to enjoy mindfulness. Traditional mindfulness practices are often challenging for adults with ADHD because the way your brain works. My approach to mindfulness is a bit different in that we view it as a process for achieving contact with the present moment to make more mindful decisions about what actions we want to take next. It’s a more active way of using mindfulness so you can more readily accomplish goals, tasks, and improve connection with others. I integrate active mindfulness practices you can do every day without having to stop what you’re doing and meditate.

Yes. The majority of my clients are successful leaders and executives with ADHD, including those in C-suite positions.

I hold advanced training and experience in the psychological of clinical mental health, career development, and organizational behavior (industrial organizational psychology). As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I balance my time in clinical work and managing my private practice with consulting working with leaders and organizations to improve effectiveness. This provides me with a depth of experience and training that goes beyond coaching, including over an estimated 8,000 (I stopped counting) hours of direct client work, maintaining relevant and yearly continuing education, and engaging in consultation as needed.

Many people become coaches in executive coaching and leadership development as experienced executives themselves. These individuals offer a significant value to their clients in that they are able to address and offer advice on organizational and business problems. However, I leverage your expertise as it is most likely you’re already filled with extensive experience and knowledge in your given industry and field. You know how to do you job, I help you unlock the people side of what prevents further growth and success. If we run into an area where you need additional training or wish to enhance experience with specific skills outside of my scope, we simply connect you with mentors or learning opportunities to grow those areas.

Anyone can call themselves a coach, so it’s important to understand the experience and training of your coach prior to working with them.
