After The Initial Three-Month Individual Coaching Program

The coaching I provide for clients continuing after the initial three months is less intense, lower cost, and more flexible.   Clients can choose to have  one, two, or three coaching sessions per month. Whichever they choose they are invited to a monthly group session and have access to expanding resources on their PQ app.

WHY AND HOW COACHING WORKS

Modern science has shown that neurological differences underlie many behavioral and processing challenges. Such challenges often stubbornly persist until we consciously embrace and understand them and discover our unique individual workarounds. Good ADHD coaching can play an important role in this renewal process and in the development of new neural pathways (habits) in the brain.

Other modes of treatment are often also needed with some conditions such as severe anxiety, depression, addiction, etc. But when such conditions stem from unaddressed ADHD, they often resist successful treatment unless the underlying ADHD is also addressed through coaching.  Even when medication (requiring a diagnosis and a doctor’s prescription) is being used as one part of an individual’s ADHD treatment, psychiatrists remind us, “Pills don’t teach skills.”  Good ADHD coaching meets the need for skills development, improved self-awareness, and increased self-confidence.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Individual coaching involves slowing down and stepping back enough to carefully examine and come to understand how one is approaching one’s challenges and what other options exist. This involves identifying patterns in one’s thinking and behavior, and experimenting with alternatives.

For most people, this fundamental exploration is made much easier if they have the non-judgmental support of a coach who is genuinely curious about how they are experiencing life and how they would like their life to be. As the coach asks clarifying questions, clients gain insights about their thoughts, reactions, behaviors, and intentions.

In the process, they often shift to an entirely new self-concept which leads to reduced anxiety and a greater sense of meaning, purpose, and peace. For most coaching clients, this process takes some time and effort. Individuals who are ready to seriously work in a sustained way on their personal development are the ones who benefit most from coaching.

To explore how my coaching can support you in bringing about the change you want in your life, let’s schedule a Free Exploratory Conversation. That conversation and any coaching that follows can take place by phone or video conference. You can bring to that conversation any challenges you want to work on and goals you wish to pursue. Then, if we agree to move into a coaching partnership, you and I will find ways to leverage your strengths, talents, and habits to address those challenges and move toward your goals and dreams.
