ADD / ADHD Coach Academy

Ethics of ADHD Coaching Course begins October 14th!

Coaches never expect ethical dilemmas — but they happen.

If you’re coaching clients with ADHD, you’re supporting people with unique cognitive and emotional needs — and that makes ethical clarity even more important.

The Ethics of ADHD Coaching course starts October 14, and it’s designed to help you:
✔️ Understand the ICF & PAAC codes
✔️ Navigate real ADHD-specific ethical dilemmas
✔️ Strengthen your business practices and coaching agreements
✔️ Prepare for emerging challenges like AI and social media

📅 Live on Zoom: Tuesdays, Oct 14 – Nov 4 | 🕖 7:00–8:30 PM US Eastern Time
🎓 Offers 6 Core Competency CEUs (PAAC & ICF)
✅ Meets ICF’s 3-hour ethics requirement
✍️ Live attendance required for credit

Bring your questions, real-life scenarios, and curiosity — and walk away feeling more grounded, informed, and confident.

This course focuses on refreshing your understanding and application of the ICF and PAAC codes of ethics and their application in various ADHD coaching-specific situations.

The Power of Acknowledgment: Why It Matters for Individuals with ADHD 💡

If you have ADHD, you know that getting praise can sometimes feel… hollow. Someone says, “Great job!” but you wonder, "Did they even notice what I actually did?"

Real acknowledgment is different. It validates the effort, persistence, and progress you’ve made—especially when those things don’t come easy. It fuels motivation, confidence, and self-worth in ways that a simple compliment never could.

Learn why acknowledgment is a game changer for ADHD brains and how it can transform self-belief. 🔥
