When I trained to be a neurodiversity coach, it saved my life, and I don't exaggerate. I'm a late-diagnosed ADHDer, and learning about how the brain works--how our brain works--and the numerous tools and skills that can be built in support of our brains, I came to see myself from angles I never had before. I saw that not every assumption I made about myself or others was necessarily true. This insight alone paved the way to curiosity, growth, and a willingness to experiment with my life in ways I wouldn't have before--nor even thought was possible.

Coaching is effective, and I say this based on both personal experience and ongoing research in the field. If you were to ask me what makes coaching work, I'd narrow it down to two things. One, you have to want to learn more about yourself and how you tick. And, two, you have to be willing to put forth the effort--even just a bit, initially--to experiment with change. This isn't a passive game. You must step up to the plate.

If you have these two pieces, you can't imagine what's waiting on the other side. You'll look back on the day you first started the process, and you'll be grateful you stuck with it. It's a remarkable vantage point.

All the best to you.
