What is ADD - ADHD Coaching?
Coaching for adults with Attention Deficit Disorder is a process to help enhance your ability to manage your life, make decisions and achieve your goals. I'm Bonnie Mincu, a personal and business coach located in New York City. I specialize in working with Attention Deficit Disorder adults to help them thrive with ADD!
As an ADD coach, I partner with you to create strategies that allow you to reach your full potential in all aspects of life: work, relationships, and everyday tasks -- and to achieve a general sense of balanced well-being.
The Coaching Process is usually one-to-one, and can be done in-person, or over the phone. ADD- AD/HD Coaching involves a series of sessions that will combine learning about your own ADD traits, developing the ability to create strategies that work, and taking action towards reaching your desired goals.
Coaching is not psychotherapy. Although recognizing feelings and motivations is an important part of understanding yourself, coaching focuses more on going forward, creating strategies and taking action to produce the changes you desire. A coach will help you hold your focus and move ahead, but YOU are responsible for the movement, one small step at a time.
What are the Benefits of ADD - ADHD Coaching?
The coaching process helps you achieve positive change in areas of
- Improved performance
- Creating new habits and moving towards a desired change
- Simplifying decision-making
- Transforming your life
What's Involved in Coaching a Person with ADD?
The coaching process should involve the following steps: 1. Gaining Information
A person with ADD AD/HD needs to become thoroughly informed about how ADD works in general, and how ADD is working in his own life. As your ADD Coach, I will help you understand how to observe what you pay attention to. As you learn to understand you own inner workings and behavior, you will become more attuned about what does and doesn't work for you. This will help us to develop strategies together to help you reach your goals.
2. Learning Self-Knowledge
As you become more informed about your ADD traits, you will start to develop innate knowledge about yourself. This means breaking old thought patterns of "I can't do this type of thing." Instead, with growing knowledge about your own strengths -- and about the ways to overcome your ADD challenges - you will develop confidence that "I WILL succeed, when I use this strategy." This knowledge comes through building successes, one small piece at a time.
3. Developing Wisdom
ADDers are usually highly sensitive and intuitive, but may not have learned to trust their own wisdom. As your self-knowledge and understanding grows, you will trust your judgment and instinctively know how to use your own uniqueness to succeed at your goals. This kind of wisdom will actually make you better at creating strategies for success than most other people!
4. Taking Action
Throughout the process, in each coaching session, you will decide on actions to be taken before the next session. These actions may involve keeping track of tendencies, trying a new behavior, or taking a step towards a major life breakthrough. The pace is up to you. When you find you aren't following through on action steps, we'll determine what distracted you and modify the strategy.
