What's the difference and what's best for you?
Coaching is a special professional partnership. It thrives on safety, respect, trust, openness, goodwill, honesty, and creativity to propel you forward.
ADHD & Neurodiversity coaches help you become an expert in your unique brain wiring and behaviour. In the context of ADHD, Autism and other neurodivergences, there’s an extra emphasis on empowering you to thrive by applying your strengths and quirks, while knowing what your needs are for productivity, performance and wellbeing, and how to get those needs met.
Not everyone is ready for coaching.
