What are the benefits of AD/HD Coaching?
The struggle with ADD is not one of desire or motivation but of follow-through and achievement. Effective ADD coaching can take planning, organization, pragmatism, and accountability to another level. The coach is able to provide frequent contact with the client, set up more structure in the client's life to improve follow-through. Regular meetings and check-ins are an essential part of the coaching partnership.
ADD adults are more likely to have driving accidents, license suspensions, and speeding tickets. Adults with ADD can be impulsive shoppers, feel isolated, struggle with relationships and keeping a job. It is useful for ADD adults to have someone help you get organized, stay on task, give you encouragement or remind you to get back to work. A coach can be tremendously helpful in treating ADD Within the structure of safety, the coach focuses on identifying and acknowledging the natural talents of the client and developing a plan to convert those talents into daily strengths.
Trained professional coaches can help with:
- Time management
- Organization
- Finances
- Anger management
- Releasing addictions
- Work
- Expressing yourself in a more organized manner
ADD coaching also helps clients to:
- Understand that the source of many of their challenges is AD/HD, not personal shortcomings.
- Safely examine areas of failure and areas where they want to be held accountable.
- Heighten self-awareness and self-observation skills, and use those heightened skills to improve decision-making and performance.
- Change perspective when "stuck", for example, learning new ways to work with procrastination, perfectionism, staying on task, or being more consistent.
- Become aware of their own learning styles, processing styles and learning preferences so they can enhance their ability to learn and comprehend information and situations.
