Kathie England, CAOC, PCOC
Kathie England of Time for Success is a Certified ADHD Organizer Coach (CAOC) who specializes in working with adults with ADHD and executive function challenges. Kathie believes that coaching is a process to help individuals develop curiosity that facilitates discovery of their own answers. Inspired by the words of Nelson Mandela, she embraces the perspective that what we are afraid of is not so much our limitations as the infinite possibilities that are within us. Excited by the concept of neuroplasticity, the capacity to change our brains and create new habits that enable us to be who we are capable of being, Kathie works with individuals and small groups to discover their possibilities. She embraces the words of Tamara Rosier, PhD in Your Brain’s Not Broken that many of the symptoms of ADHD are invisible and are “often misconstrued and judged as character traits instead of seen as a result of neurological differences.” Kathie welcomes the insight and perspective of thought-leader Ellen Faye, PCC and coach Cameron Gott, PCC that “having ADHD means having daily fights with structure. Too much and it’s oppressive. Too little and you are set adrift. A good ADHD coach helps you create a better relationship with structure helping you build structure practices based on your strengths and cognitive preferences.” A hallmark of Kathie’s coaching philosophy is helping clients discover the power pf small steps to create profound change. Coaching is all about helping people develop new habits, behaviors, and thought patterns. By learning the power of small steps and developing a growth mindset, individuals can discover their infinite possibilities. By learning to pause, individuals can create the space to make wiser choices. Kathie’s believes that her ADHD coaching combines the unique aspects of her earlier career as an elementary school teacher, a speech/language pathologist, and professional organizer. Author
Monthly blog: Who We Can Be
Laine Dougherty, CPC
I understand ADHD and the impact it can have on your life and on your child or teenager. ADHD affects the whole family. In 2012 I earned a Certified Organizer Coach (COC) credential from the Institute of Applied Coaching (IAC) which combines my Professional Organizer and coach training together. In 2024 I met the requirement and replaced my COC with a Certified Productivity Coach (CPC) credential. I am also an ADHD/Executive Function coach and a former educator. ADHD coaching offers support and guidance based on your strengths, values, and goals, enabling you to find positive-impact solutions that work for how you think. I also work with students (ages 8 and up) whose ADHD is interfering with their learning and impacting their friendships. My goal is to help ensure students have a positive school experience through understanding their ADHD, themselves and how they learn. The Thinking and Doing Skills Center also offers small group classes such as: Thriving with ADHD in the Family- Parent Class and Super Skills for Students designed for middle school students. See our website for current offerings. When I am not coaching, I enjoy hiking, biking, vegetable gardening and genealogy. How about you?

Ruth Hadlock, COC, ACC
I have taken my life-long passion of curiosity and crafted it into a service to help you progress toward your life’s desires. I do this by skillfully asking questions to discover if a new perspective serves you more effectively than your current belief. When you have an insight (a natural outcome of the coaching process), your current situation can shift in an instant! I find out where you are presently in life, where you yearn to be and address the change that needs to happen in that gap. As a Board-Certified Professional Organizer, my 18 years of experience led me to be a Personal & Professional Life Coach. The positive impact of integrating coaching skills into my organizing work with clients influenced me to become a coach so I could serve people more deeply. I hold an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from The International Coaching federation (ICF) and a Certified Organizer Coach credential from the Coach Approach Training Institute. As a member of ICF, I adhere to strict ethical guidelines. When I’m not helping clients create positive change, I’m helping myself by learning to be a pianist. I’m honest, ethical, dependable, straightforward and supportive. My values are excellence, autonomy, growth, integrity, contribution and gratitude. Being of service to you is my highest priority. To determine if I can serve you fully, I require a complimentary coaching session with you so we can mutually establish that we are an ideal match for each other.

Stephanie Wilson
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.
