From Michelle:
I first came to ADHD academic coaching as a parent seeking help for my own child in 2009. At that time, there were minimal resources available. After many hours scouring the internet, I found a community of people dedicated to helping students with ADHD using the coaching concept. As an educator with a graduate degree in curriculum development, it intrigued me. I quickly saw the value to integrate coaching for executive function challenges as a great way to support my student at home and bridge academic school demands. I hired an ADHD coach to collaborate and work with our family.
This positive experience motivated me to become trained for life coaching, ADHD coaching, and career coaching. I began working with clients to develop strategies, tools and skills to work through their executive function challenges. It was a natural progression to move from academic to life and career coaching as my clientele began to move through milestones in their lives. This inspired me to combine my experience and earn a Board-Certified Coach certification.
Along my life-path, I have found myself involved in many ways to help spread the knowledge of how coaching can help people who struggle with ADHD, neurodivergence, and weak executive function skills, through articles, blogs, podcasts, webinars and more. As part of our Coaching Academics community, I will continue to educate, collaborate and share this knowledge with you.
