ADHD -- first we tame, then we treasure

Gifted college students with ADHD have a special place in my heart, because I was once the same.

The good news is that we can tame most of the hard parts —  disorganization, poor time management, bad planning — and the stress and shame that come with them.

The great news is that when we tame enough of the hard parts, we can treasure the great parts — creativity, energy, empathy — and the long list of great things ADHD can bring us.

Coaching does more than fix problems.
It builds strengths.

Coaching results are:

"I started work on my paper four days before it was due, which gave me enough time to work through a first draft before I wrote a better second draft" "I asked my professor for help during office hours, and she helped me narrow down my research topic, which I didn't realize was too ambitious." "I got a good night's sleep before my exam."
