Many ADD individuals need an old fashioned executive secretary. Someone to proof reports, organize and focus them. Unfortunately, today's work environment does not always offer that kind of support. Many of us are challenged by the sometimes overwhelming influx of information and demands in the work place.

Career and family often create challenges for the ADDer. Coaching helps you to build strategies to succeed and put more balance back in your life. I work with you to identify behaviors that create disorder. By helping you to create practical life skills, together we address daily life challenges and bring an end to disabling habits like chronic procrastination.

These detrimental behaviors affect your family, your work life and self esteem. Coaching can help you focus back on your strengths, explore and connect with your talents

Parents

ADD is something that affects both you and your family. It impacts your family dinner time, your child's academic life, your interactions and relationships and it shapes your child's self-esteem. As the ADDer struggles, the student often become increasingly frustrated and can develop negative family patterns.

Students will master life skills that will allow them to manage their ADD, address time management and planning issues and create plans to address daily challenges. The battles that separate you and your child can be alleviated as he learns how to channel his frustration into positive actions. Arguments over homework or college essays can be tackled in a less-emotionally charged coaching session where we determine how to accomplish the result everyone wants.

Families

I enjoy working with children. Coaching is a partnership between the whole family, coach and your son or daughter. I work with students to manage long term planning, turning in home work, anticipating next steps, procrastination and even social skills.

I believe every child has a special gift or strength we can enhance. Coaching helps you and your child figure out how to work through daily life challenges. Coaching helps you strengthen your gifts and cope with weaknesses.

By working with parents and helping you learn to coach and manage your kids we can sharpen time management skills, adapting to change, find strategies to focus, and create positive lasting life skills. Often it is easier to have an objective 3 rd party who helps to work with your child or teenager to help build strategies and who partners with you to create a positive message.

Students

Is every home work assignment a battle?

I work with the student to gain basic understandings, such as the fact that most people can't do it all, no matter how easy it looks for their friends. We help them discover and develop the organizational systems that work for them. Maybe the teacher tells everyone to keep a notebook, but in your child's case, a request to switch to a card system or palm pilot is what your student needs. Maybe the student has a great set of file drawers, but in fact, for your child's style, he needs a "shoe box" system that gets the job done.

We understand that different people require different methods to learn, to organize, and to control their lives. Your student's job is to get it all done, but we can show them what way will enable them to actually complete their goals .

Sessions will focus on:

Focus and Attention Span
Identify Learning Styles
Note Taking
Home work Planning
Medication Management
Test Taking

Young Children

Coaching can be very beneficial for young children. I work with parents to conduct coaching sessions for young children.

I teach parents to coach their children to enhance your ability to relate to your child in a positive way, to avoid conflict and to eliminate daily battles. Coaching also teaches your child how to focus, think ahead and builds a new inner voice to self regulate and focus in the future.
