What a coach can do....

Initially, daily or at least frequent, phone sessions discussing practical and concrete issues such as plans for the day, upcoming deadlines, physical feelings, moods and so forth giving assistance in daily living tasks and organizational issues.

As the coaching experience continues, sessions will become more infrequent and perhaps of longer duration as the ADDer and coach continue to explore life skill concerns. 

Cautions

Be aware that coaching is not psychotherapy.  Also, do your homework if you decide to hire a coach.  Coaching sounds easy and many “coaches” have “hung up their sign and started business” without much training and/or expertise.  Some also charge quite a bit of money. Don’t be duped.  Check the coach out thoroughly.  Do a search on the Internet and spend some time exploring coaching before you decide on a coach.

A good coach should be able to lead you to a “happier” life filled with more positive than negative events.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE!

Consider getting a  “coach” for your child if he/she is an adult - with ADD ADHD.

If you suspect YOU might be an Adult ADDer do not procrastinate.

Find out for sure and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Email me sometime.  I would appreciate any and all feedback – positive or negative.
