ADHD Coaching Master Class:
About the Class

The ADHD Coaching Master Class is for coaches with experience working with individuals with AD/HD or who have a very strong interest in doing so. This class can also be of benefit to coaches who work with clients who struggle with organization, prioritization and time management. This is a twelve-hour class.

At the conclusion of this class, each participant will have a toolkit of practical interventions that can be used immediately in their coaching. Topics covered include: the logistics of AD/HD coaching, time management, social skills, relationships, maintaining self-esteem, working with children and adolescents, acceptance of the diagnosis.

In this interactive class, participants are encouraged, but not required, to bring case vignettes of individuals with AD/HD they have worked with in coaching or other helping interactions. We will use these cases to elaborate on the many approaches one can take when working with this population.
