Life with ADHD Coaching
Allowing for Difference
Often ADHD is perceived as negative due to a general lack of understanding and/or because certain ideas and methods of how to “be and do” just hasn’t worked well for an individual or family. Adhd does not mean less intelligent or unwilling -it just means not neurotypical and sometimes fitting into the prescribed "norm" of the moment or situation is a challenge. Adhd traits also present differently from person to person. This is why I subscribe to "one size does not fit all". Using the same tools, the same methods, or applying the latest trends (without careful examination of benefit) is not a guaranteed system for success.
As I partner with my clients, we identify and note their unique qualities and preferences. We build a knowledge base of what they do well and how they do it well. Together we customize the supports and techniques which address the need at hand and demonstrate value.
* You need not have a diagnosis of ADHD to enlist my coaching service. Often people who desire productive and meaningful relationships with ADHD colleagues and family members are beneficiaries.

- “The coaching sessions I had with Coach Liz meant so much to me. I’ve changed my outlook, my personna, and my whole demeanor.” Kathleen - IL
- "From time to time ADHD Coaches seek out a colleague for coaching. Recently, I asked Liz to coach me through my difficulty with feeling buried under major distractions - making motivation really difficult. Liz listened intently to what I said, and intuited what I really meant. She asked questions that clarified the assumptions that were blocking my progress. She is a kind, nurturing coach, yet because she cares, she asked some tough, insightful, and powerful questions that inspired me to realize my priorities and focus on what I needed to do to move forward. I was grateful to Liz for her encouragement and her personalized coaching. I felt as if she were walking right beside me through the coaching partnership, even though I live on the East Coast (we spoke on the phone.) She inspired me, and I made progress." Coach Liz - You are awesome! Thank you! -Sheila Smyth, Florida MAED/SPE, AAC ADD Strength Coaching
