Woman contemplates the puzzle of all ADHD life skills and challenges

People hire ADHD coaches because they want a life that propels them into reaching their full potential rather than one where they are struggling with their ADHD challenges each day, under-employed, at odds with relationships, stuck in the chaos and lack of focus and doing what they or others think they “should.” People hire ADHD coaches to experience happiness, healthy relationships and personal / work / school success with more ease.

ABOUT ASN & OUR CULTURE... Why Elephants?

ADHD Success Network (ASN) About & Culture - Elephants

Elephants are amazing creatures that
teach us so many lessons including:

  • connectedness
  • compassion
  • altruism
  • teamwork
  • knowledge sharing
  • social intelligence
  • tread lightly
  • enjoying life
  • and more

One of the life lessons is to walk gracefully through life. It reminds us that it is essential that we tread as lightly as we can by:

"Honoring the wholeness, resourcefulness,
uniqueness and intelligence
of our clients with ADHD."

To elicit greatness from within them and invite them to problem solve and discover what is best for them vs thinking we have all the “answers”… as we don’t.

It is our obligation, that our coaching, our systems, tools and strategies invite client trust, engagement, personal growth, expansion of their gifts & talents, and success.

What Our Clients Are Saying

possibile1 (1)
  • Changed my Life

    "I came to (my coach) broken after years of struggling with ADHD and PTSD. Her professionalism, positivity, realism, understanding, and experience with ADHD provided the path I needed to 'get out of the weeds'.. She understood me more after the first few weeks than my therapist that I had worked with for over a year. I just wish I found her sooner so that I could have changed my life for the better years ago before I made so many mistakes and bad decisions. My relationships have never been stronger, my career is the healthiest it has been in years, and I am actually setting long term goals and accomplishing them. Most of all, my relationship with myself is, for the first time in a long time, positive and loving. I am looking forward to the future (even during this covid craziness). I am not in the clear yet (or ever might be) but I am on the right path and that is all thanks to my coach. Thank you."

  • My Life is So Better In So Many Ways

    "I discovered my coach during the most difficult time of my life. She has been instrumental in assisting me in creating systems and order in my life during a time when I felt completely lost after my husband left and sought full custody of our son. I am not sure how I would have navigated the past few years without my coach there by my side. She is an incredibly talented and intuitive coach, and I highly recommend her.. She is very gifted in being able to quickly understand "where you are" and where you need support and/or structure. She will take a tailored approach to assisting you where you need help - whether it is regarding the structure of your day/planning and follow through, or how to make certain aspects of your life run smoothly, or understanding your personality type and how to work with it rather than against it. She is able to help you learn how to gain and maintain focus - which is a true blessing if you have ADHD. She is able to help you with how to create and maintain an orderly environment. She is able to help you in defining your values and living life with purpose. She is able to help you with how to effectively organize, plan and manage projects. She will gently help you see where you need help...which can often be in areas you never even knew you needed help!. I honestly feel like I cannot do my coach justice with my inadequate attempt to describe what she has done for me. She has been instrumental in my life changing for the better in so many ways."

  • Saved our Family

    "We chose our coach after interviewing several coaches. We chose her because we liked her approach. She got to know us (parents) not only by talking to us but testing us to determine our personality model. She is extremely knowledgeable about ADHD but doesn't pretend to be a psychologist or psychiatrist. She has truly been our rock, the only person in our treatment team that we can rely on. She is always available in times of distress and when we are suffering from bad days she is our "go to." She has helped us develop techniques and systems that really work and she has transformed our family. We really don't know what we would do without her. My advice if you choose her as your coach is to give her suggestions an honest try. I was skeptical but the results have been amazing. We really have a special place in our hearts for our coach."

  • You can find relief

    "If you're struggling or treading water with organization, work, home, finances, relationships, and emotional stress because of adult ADHD, you can find relief with the ASN coaching team. We discovered new and very helpful strategies that got me back on track at work and personally. I highly recommend the coaching program. My coach is very compassionate, supportive and understanding. She took the time to really understand and know me and created a personalized system that worked for me based on my needs and goals. The system also is fully automated and very easy to use, not only that but you are never on your own. My coach really has a gift to help adults with ADHD. She focuses on strengths, gifts, and talents while minimizing weaknesses. Thank you for everything, you truly have been a blessing!!"

  • Thank You Coach

    "ADD can be an overwhelming condition that affects every facet of life….from personal relationships and careers to the mundane. Over the years I’ve worked very hard to educate myself on my condition, believing that through sheer will and determination I could navigate life’s extra ADD challenges.This proved to be a stressful exercise while only producing mixed results. So with my life in disarray it was my great fortune to find my coach. You will not meet a more understanding and compassionate individual with the talent, know-how and desire to see you succeed. Partnering with her produced measureable gains with every goal we set out to achieve. She helped me lift the burden of frustration which had accumulated over a lifetime with strategies tailored to my specific needs. I will always appreciate that she helped me develop the tools to overcome those challenges as well as embrace the positive aspects of ADD. "She is an absolute gem and you will count yourself among the fortunate if you have the opportunity to work with her."

  • Thank you for helping me find my life

    "When I first contacted ASN the "overwhelm" factor in my life was so debilitating that I was unable to perform functions as basic as paying my bills on time. I didn't have a job and had no money coming in. I had just decided to close the business I had been running, or stated more correctly, had been running me for almost five years. This was the fifth career in which I achieved "failure" status. My wife was feeling very insecure, which had a major effect, of course, on our family. At age 46 and just weeks away from turning 47, I was very dejected, to say the least, and sinking fast. That's when I realized I had all the symptoms of ADD, and found coaching.My coach helped me gather my thoughts, decide on the best career course to follow and smooth out relations with my wife and children. She helped me do all this within the span of a few months. I secured a job in which I was able to employ my strengths and achieve harmony and satisfaction for the first time in my life. Within less than two years, my salary has increased more than 50%, I am valued and respected at work, my wife feels much more secure and I am back on track with my family. I have a system for keeping my overwhelm factor in check and am improving my efficiency through use of tools for ADHD. Thank you for helping me find my life."

  • Grateful for Relationship Help

    "From the very first time I spoke with my coach, to the last, my eyes were opened. Opened to the Truths of who I am. Opened to identifying my challenges, while also celebrating my strengths. In the end, better understanding what makes me unique as an individual. She helped my wife and I through a marital crisis, as well as guiding us in each of our respective professional endeavors. We are much stronger than ever before, in large part because of how our coach was able to gently show us our realities, both as individuals and as a couple. She shared strategies with us that we will both use for the rest of our lives. We are eternally grateful to her for the insights and wisdom! These are skills, strategies and perspectives that we will be practicing ongoing. My wife and friends tell me that I've changed a great deal since I started working with my coach. Indeed, I can feel this change happening on a deep spiritual level. Most importantly, I feel more connected and grounded than I have in a long time. Connected to my wife, my family, my friends, and MYSELF. Connection feels good, and often yields gratitude. Gratitude for blessings received and for discovering the rich tapestry of this Life we have been given. Thank you Coach!"

  • I am a better person because of my coach!

    "I have been working with my coach for two years and cannot express the enormous difference she has made in my life. Before, my life was total chaos. My coach has helped to clear a path for me to move forward, focus on priorities, and cut out overwhelm. I am beginning to transform myself from inside out. I have been able to grow as a person in ways that I never would have if not for my coach. No matter how personal the issues, she has been there for me with helpful tools, strategies, wisdom, and support. ASN's daily planning system has taught me how to budget my time, prioritize and execute tasks, and prevent the day from "running away with me." The "Ideal Week" she helped me create is essential to help me function at my best and focus on my goals. Other tools allow me to break down projects, keep the current ones in my awareness, and easily access next steps, and move forward my highest priorities. Having someone to talk to each week to discuss obstacles and come up with creative and wise solutions together has really helped me to stay on track and elevate the way I handle what comes up in my life. Her understanding of how to help people with ADD become productive is brilliant, but on top of that, She is the most sincere, genuinely caring person I have ever met. She has made a profound difference in my life. I am much calmer, happier, more confident in my success, and most importantly I am a better person because of her"

  • Coaching really works!

    "When I started working with my coach I was looking for a coach because I was extremely frustrated by several things: my boss, lack of planning, disorganization, impatience... etc. Most of the goals I had initially (e.g. being calm, less angry, submitting expense reports, paying bills, starting to plan my day/week...) I accomplished in the first 6-9 months of coaching. My coach was excellent at helping me develop systems that worked for me. I appreciated that she was relatively available when I was having a hard issue with my boss. I developed an excellent relationship and friendship with my boss (who at the start I was saying I would never work for). Coaching has helped with the following: 1. Keeps me focused on achieving my goal 2. Provides supportive accountability (I had great experience at sliding by... without anyone noticing) 3. Over time, my coach could help spot repeated cycles/behaviors I was not as aware of 4. Ongoing encouragement... which I needed 5. Helped me develop ways of "naturally" doing many of the mundane tasks I had avoided. 6. My base salary has increased by 30% 7. My work hours have decreased by 30% 8. Return on investment (ROI) is approximately 525% 9. My performance appraisal no longer says: "I should be more patient... or that I should not be frustrated by others." :-) I also enjoyed/enjoy the "coaching" time and found that just having the call would start calming/relaxing me.My coach has worked with me to allow me to keep and exploit the traits I like about ADHD (i.e. energy- some may call hyperactivity, ability to pay attention to several things at once, and handle urgent tasks) while changing the traits that frustrate me (and often others)."

  • Coaching Impacted My Whole Life

    "Before I worked with my coach I was feeling like life was pretty chaotic. I didn't seem to have a grip on things and I felt like my communication skills were poor. "I wasn't doing a good job of letting co-workers and my partner know what I needed from them. I seemed to be working under a general state of overwhelm. I have worked with my coach for a couple years. For me this has been time and money WELL SPENT. I am much more organized, thoughts and life. Before I couldn't see past the chaos but now I seem to be able to step back from things and see the real issues. I have been able to identify key areas needing attention in my life. I have made a lot of healthy improvements. This was something I didn't seem to be able to do on my own. I have improved my communication skills, personal and professional, and relationships are better. My partner said he has seen a great change in me all for the better. He has seen me grow and better myself and this has encouraged him to do some of his own work. My coach seems genuinely interested in my success as a person."

  • Life changing experience

    “Coaching has been a true life changer & saver for me. Most likely the results are going to be different for everyone, as dictated by different situations. For me, this has not only helped my career and college goals become enjoyable and achievable, but it has almost essentially helped me to combine all of the important things in my life much more efficiently, so that I have been able to pretty much save the severe degradation of my marriage. ADD/ADHD has, without knowing that it even existed, been an absolute key product of absolute upheaval and chaos in my life. Since I’ve been getting help from my coach, I’m truly realizing what I’ve been missing most all of my life. Needless to say, I would highly encourage you to consider life coaching if it has been recommended, or you think it might possibly be helpful for you. So far so good for me.”

  • Virtual Coach

    "I call my coach my Fairy Godmother! I am 33 and have struggled with ADHD for years and my coach is the only person I have worked with that I felt really "gets me" but doesn't also have ADHD herself. She is calm when I am not, assertive when she needs to be, and challenges me to be realistic and more kind to myself and others. . The systems and tools she has developed are uniquely designed for me and based on 18 years of working with ADHD adults. She also truly cares for you as an individual. If you are tired of feeling frustrated and are ready to make some changes in your life, she is the coach you want walking you through the journey of becoming the person all of us we know we can be."

  • Excellent Coaching!

    "What have I accomplished through coaching? A better question is what haven't I accomplished through coaching! To state it briefly, I have accomplished a Ph.D., salary raises of $60,000 over 6 years, 4 promotions, respected positions in Fortune 500 companies, and my own business. I have also accomplished a home-life balance, a positive focus on more structure in my parenting, and a greater sense of peace and direction in both my personal and professional lives. "Thank You" does not say it. "Bless you" comes closer."

  • Significant Changes!

    “I’m doing really well. My business continues to flourish. One of my goals when I came to you was to make $90,000... Well, this year I made $113,000. I find that amazing. And I owe so much of my success to you. I have enough work lined up for next year to make that much again, but work 240 hours less! Now that’s even more amazing!

  • Very Helpful!

    If you have come to a point in your life where you deeply desire to make adjustments in your thinking, habits, processes and/or performance, but feel stuck, a coach can provide tools, training, coaching and accountability necessary to get going and to achieve long term change.

  • Super Coach

    "My coach is a super coach -- attentive, caring, organized and skillful. I worked with her for several years and gained the much needed skills to handle numerous crises that I was experiencing after a divorce and in establishing myself in a career. . ""She is nonjudgmental, very easy to talk to and insightful.. "" One of the important life skills that I gained from our sessions was learning the difference between discernment and judgment and how to employ these insights in interpersonal relationships.. If you are in transition and trying to figure out a new path, she will be a tremendous resource and personal advocate."

  • Support & Encouragement

    "I have always felt like I take two steps forward and four back. Having a coach helps me to keep the steps I take and more. The last two years has been life changing financially, physically and mentally. I look forward to my calls. I can never thank my coach enough for her support and encouragement."

  • Thank-You for the life changing experience

    "This note comes to say how much I appreciated your support and wisdom as my coach. You were an awesome aspect of my life. I'm not sure what this year has coming ... but whatever it is I am excited and looking forward to "it" ! All in all, I'm looking for good things to happen this year and I still recognize this past year as my "MIRACLE" Year because God provided immensely but most of all with help from him and others like you – I survived !!! "

  • I can handle social situations!

    “My new house is coming along well. It should be ready by spring... When I move into the new home, my life has progressed in a way that will fit the new home, sort of like a snail growing and needing a new shell... Yes, I now have a full and well-rounded social life!”
