I became an ADD coach when I realized it was what I was meant to be.
For most of my adult life, I’ve been surrounded by people who have
attention deficit disorder - my husband, children, business partner,
and very close friend. All of them are bright, caring, and
resourceful. And all of them have struggled with disorganization,
impulsiveness, distractibility, and feeling overwhelmed.
For 20 years, I’ve been helping the people closest to me get
organized, stay on track, and recognize their intrinsic worth. During
that time, I also became aware of my own ADD-like traits and developed
strategies to help us all. Finally, the light bulb went off. Why not
turn what I was doing anyway into my life’s work? My personal
experiences and professional background in counseling and social work
gave me unique qualifications. So I went back to school and graduated
from a professional ADHD coach training program. It was the
best decision I ever made.
