Life & ADHD Coaching
Holistic, whole-session coaching for clients with ADHD
The Fourth Step in Becoming a Trained Coach
Life & ADHD Coaching (LAC) is the fourth of the five Foundation Training courses. The pre-requisites are Coaching Essentials, Strengths-Based Coaching, and Brain-Based Coaching. In LAC you will also learn the additional receptive and active coaching skills and strategies which fill out the skillset known as ADHD coaching. The skills are individualized for each client, helping them move deeply into self-knowledge, forward into action—and into creating “A Life That Fits.”
The approaches are designed to specifically support clients’ executive functioning, which can be compromised by chronic or situational stress, or a wide range of familiar brain-based conditions including, of course, ADHD. These empathetic and directive coaching options connect with people who are struggling, whether they have a diagnosable brain-based condition or not.
The Life & ADHD Coaching course helps solidify the emerging coach’s understanding of full session coaching, in the context of an ongoing coaching engagement.
