Hi, I am new here in Totally ADD. My name is David. I was diagnosed with ADHD after I completed a course in Life Coaching, specializing in ADHD and learning disabilities. Big change in my life! I now supervise students in the same coaching course as well as coaching clients both face to face and via video conference or telephone.
I’m not trying to make a commercial for myself here (though that would be wonderful!!), but I am willing to tell of my take on adhd coaching issues, methods, etc.
Except for the sharing of my understanding/knowledge about the brain and ADHD, my work with my clients is based on their values, their resources and their visions, otherwise it would be about me and not about them. If the process were about me, then shortly after the end of the coaching process the client would probably end up where s/he was before; when the coaching process is about the client, s/he being the expert in who s/he is, there is a good chance that there will be significant, long lasting change/s.
Most of the “change work” is based on establishing new, desired habits (in little bits at a time) so as to consistently achieve the client defined goals, a process that takes between several weeks to several months (per habit). I do not coach my clients to eradicate less desired habits – we work only in the realm of success. All the work is based on success.
My life vision is Tikun Olam, making the world a better place for all of us. I would be honored if I could be of assistance with regard to questions or comments.
Have a wonderful day!
