Buckle up, my friends! In this episode I dish all of my thoughts on ADHD coaching and the coaching industry. I let you know what I think is awesome, and what I find annoying, and I tell you how I’m going to solve the problem: By training ADHD coaches myself.

The coach training programs out there are notoriously not ADHD-friendly. I wanted to create a training program for the ADHD brain, and I did.

The type of coaching that I practice with my clients (causal coaching) is not something that many ADHD coaches are currently being trained in, and I want to fill that void.

Tune in for all the details!

Testimonials from Focused ADHD Coaches:“I’m so glad that I took the leap, it was manageable, and I got so much out of it. If you want to be the kind of coach that Kristen is, it’s the perfect next step.” – Kyla Roma

“The Focused ADHD coach training program is excellent. I feel completely confident in being able to coach anyone with ADHD on what’s holding them back, or how to live the full life they’re dreaming of. I feel like I can support any clients – and especially neurodivergent clients – in an affirming, supportive, motivating way that puts them in touch with their own resourcefulness.” –Erin King

“I have zero regrets with my choice to take the Focused ADHD Coach Training program. I honestly feel I am well prepared to coach people with and without ADHD. Kristen shared her knowledge AND experience with us in a way that supported my ADHD brain and let me learn in a way and at a pace that felt comfortable.” Dylan M.

“This is the best investment for yourself. Even if you’re unsure about being a coach full time, you will leave equipped to apply this training into your personal life and your work life.” Jenni N

“
The philosophy of ADHDers supporting other ADHDers to succeed is at the core of why Focused works and why this coaching program appealed to me. The approach is fundamentally grounded in respect and a deep understanding of what the coachee experiences and struggles with, because the coaches-in-training have the same struggles. I don’t think most life coach training programs can offer that perspective or opportunity to consider both sides at once.” Briony Kidd
