The ICF (International Coach Federation) defines coaching as:
"Partnering with clients in a thought -provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential"
Coaching can change your life.
- You can find your direction, your path, your goals and dreams.
- You have a coach to help keep you on task, to help you create stratagies, and reach your goals.
- Coaching provides guidence and support to move forward and get ready for the future.
- Coaching provides a safe place to explore your options.
- Coaching is a partnership.
- A coach will acknowledge you and cheer you on!
- The values of having a Life Coach or ADHD Coach are many.
The Institute for the Advancement of ADHD Coaching (IAAC) defines ADHD Coaching as:
"A designed partnership that combines coaching skills with knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorder, a neurobiological condition. The coaching process enhances quality of life, improves performance and supports growth and change."
ADHD Coaching is a specific niche in coaching adults, parents, teens and college students with ADHD.
- An ADHD coach is educated in the complex and continually changing field of ADHD, including co-existing conditions.
- Coaches work with parents, teachers and proffessionals as a team to effect change in the lives of young children, teens and college students.
- A coach is an advocate and has the client's agenda as the focus of the coaching partnership.
- A coach can bring about self advocacy,self awareness and accountability.
- Coaches coach the whole person not the disorder.
