What is ADHD Coaching and how can it assist?
What is the difference between ADHD coaching and generalist coaching?
Both a generalist and ADHD coach will have training in coaching, but an ADHD coach will have undertaken specific study in ADHD giving them knowledge to understand the challenges people with ADHD may face that can hold them back or impact them reach their goals.
Many strategies used by generalist coaches are not user friendly to the ADHD brain and simply don't work. Generalist coaches will have little or no understanding of how ADHD impacts executive function in areas liking working memory, focus, distraction or emotional regulation and can leave a person with ADHD feeling like they have failed at coaching, like they believe they have in so many areas of their life. An ADHD coach however has an understanding of how the ADHD brain works and has tools and work arounds that can engage and compliment the unique workings of an ADHD brain.
