Why does a leader need to hire an executive coach? How do I know if I need a coach? What are the signs?

Successful people develop habits and behaviors over time that helped them to get them where they are. Some of these behaviors can begin to create costs at work, in relationships and in communications. A gap in both awareness and skill usually happens in a period of transition such as changing positions and assuming new levels of responsibility. When someone realizes that they need to change to achieve their desired performance, they seek an executive coach to help guide them through the process. An objective coach with business experience can help leaders bridge this “gap” in a very intentional growth and development-focused manner.

I have ADHD. How can an ADHD coach help me?

When you manage ADHD with the “three-legged stool” approach of pharmaceutical-support (if needed), therapeutic services, and ADHD coaching, you reap the benefits of neurotransmitter support through medication, mental/emotional support through cognitive behavioral or other therapeutic interventions and strategic skill-building coaching focused on mitigating your specific executive function deficits.
