Course summary
As the world opens up to new understanding around neurodiversity, this course offers the opportunity to deepen knowledge, raise awareness and teach a new way to listen and support. Rich in information and opportunities for shared experience, it offers a way to deepen the impact of your coaching and widen the way you turn up for your clients.
Focused around 3 pillars
- ADHD psychoeducation
- ADHD in an organisational setting
- ADHD and my coaching practice
One of the key benefits of attending this course is the shared learning experience. Coaches will have the opportunity to explore the subject of coaching ADHD together, fostering a collaborative environment, where they can exchange insights, strategies, and best practices. This collective exploration not only enhances individual understanding but also builds a supportive community of professionals dedicated to improving their coaching skills and making a positive impact on their clients.
By participating in this program, you will gain a wealth of research-based psychoeducation on ADHD. This will enable you to deepen your understanding of how ADHD affects your clients. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to expand your network by connecting with knowledgeable ADHD coaches. Furthermore, you will explore strategies for supporting individuals with ADHD within organizations. Upon successful completion, you will earn 20 CCE ICF points towards your accreditation
Course Curriculum
This is an excellent programme which is brilliant for those who have been coaching for some time and want to do a deeper dive into understanding ADHD and how you might work with your clients. I searched for something like this for a while but only found coach training programmes with a “bolt on” module. This is seriously well researched and if you’re ICF accredited also gives you CCEU’s for your credential renewal! Well worth it in my opinion. Sally is flexible and takes time to review any questions you may have as you progress through the modules and the group dynamic provides a safe place to discuss everything ADHD and beyond. Even if you don’t want to specialise in ADHD coaching this gives great insight into working with neurodiverse clients broadly.

Sally Cater
I am an accredited Senior Coach Practitioner with 10 years of experience running my coaching practice. Before this, I spent 25 years leading and managing teams across the private and third sectors. I've had the privilege of working with teams of all shapes and sizes, brimming with unique and brilliant minds.
And there's more to my story. I have found myself drawn towards supporting those with neuro-diverse diagnoses, and funnily enough, they've been drawn to me too.
About 2 years ago, I worked as a coach for a senior woman leader who had received a late diagnosis of ADHD. In our initial conversations, I recognised my own lack of knowledge about ADHD and its impact on individuals. To bridge this gap, I embarked on a journey to develop my understanding of ADHD.
During this learning journey, I uncovered my own neurodiversity. It became evident that the symptoms and traits of ADHD resonated with my own experiences. As I journeyed through menopause, I discovered more about my own ADHD symptoms. It dawned on me that the derogatory labels I had given myself over the years were a result of a lack of understanding of what my neurospicy brain was struggling to do as I forced myself to fit into a neurotypical world. Embracing my 'peaceful wildness' (a term borrowed from Dr. Alex Conner), I have redefined my narrative, shedding past misconceptions and emerging as a champion for inclusivity and understanding in the neurodiverse community.
