Life Coaching, ADD / ADHD Coaching, Virtual Organizing
These are all classic challenges shared by people who are highly compassionate, emotional, sensitive, intelligent, caring, enthusiastic, creative, spontaneous, talented and unconventional. People like us often have an unusual ability to help others solve problems, but often have difficulty managing our own time, space, things, money, relationships and lives confidently and consistently.
"I know what to do but can't make myself do it" The above statement is a common characteristic of creative, right brain dominant people and ADDers. Because we thrive on spontaneity and the joy of discovery, we tend to get bored almost to physical pain by certain repetitive routines. Because we can see solutions so quickly in our minds, we tend to get overwhelmed and almost paralyzed by things that takes a long time to implement or that have lots of steps we to follow. We love to discover, research and learn. We are great at it. We thrive on new challenges. We read books, go to workshops and get excited about new systems, gadgets and approaches to help us manage our time, increase productivity, reduce procrastination, and become more organized. We may even take great joy in setting up a new system, yet somehow, we often have great difficulty applying these brilliant concepts and using our systems consistently. We are off to the next new and exciting idea. We often "know" what to do, but are baffled by our inability to make ourselves do things we really want to do!
"It seems so effortless and easy for other people, why can't I just do it?" ADDers, and Creatives with a strong preference for keeping options open, see and experience the world very differently from the majority of people. We need to be inspired in order to act. Even though we crave structure, making plans can feel like it takes the joy out of things. Being different isn't easy. Other people seem to be able to make decisions easily, and follow through on their plans. Why can't we? Why do we seem to change our minds so often? Why can't we be more like them when we want to be? It may often seem to you like everyone else is able to get organized and get things done almost effortlessly compared to how challenging it is for you to get yourself through the day and complete all the tasks and project you set out to do. I know how bad it feels sometimes. But I also know from personal experience, there is a way out! It is possible to get unstuck and create a more satisfying and fulfilling life. That's what I help people do.
If any of the above challenges describe you, it's very likely you have a Creative Personality Type, or you may have ADHD or ADD-like traits. ADD - like traits can be caused by MANY factors including: the environment you live or work in, being overstressed, high sensitivity, depression, poor nutrition, not exercising regularly, allergies, hormonal changes, medications, brain injuries, traumatic childhood, abuse, grief, and many other life situations.
What Really Works? Whatever the underlying cause of your challenges, if you feel "stuck" and unable to make progress toward your goals because of your inconsistencies, there is hope! If your relationships, work life, finances and overall quality of life are suffering, and you have read the books and taken the courses but things aren't getting much better, it's time to try something very different. Something that really WORKS! Personal Coaching is a highly effective and PROVEN approach for creating true lasting change and for optimizing your ability to apply what you learn to your life.
It's like the difference between attending a lecture or being immersed in hands-on experiential learning that is completely customized to you. When you need to learn a new language, would you prefer to read a book? or visit the country with a guide that can translate for you and help you practice the new language? My coaching approach is a lot like helping you learn a new language for functioning in the world and for how you treat yourself. The coaching agenda is completely centered around your unique needs and respecting your natural abilities and preferences. It's not about me pushing any particular system. It's about helping you design a way of living that gets you the results you want in a way that you can easily, painlessly and naturally implement AND sustain for the rest of your life. It's about learning to accept what you can't change about yourself, and working with it instead of beating yourself up trying to be something you aren't Private coaching with me involves starting where you are and designing a "bridge" to get you where you want to be. I help you get clear about your priorities and the results you want. Together, we figure out "how" to make it happen and hot to get you the support you need to take action, make progress and move toward the calmer, simpler, more productive life you really want.
Through a combination of coaching, facilitation, learning, cognitive behavioral reframing, and developing emotional self-regulation skills, I help you get ultra-clear, rebuild your sense of self-worth, and develop the skills and strategies that make it a LOT easier to design more success into your life every day. I know ADD is a highly controversial label for some people and ultimately, I prefer not to put a label on you, because whatever the underlying source of your problems, what's most important is that you accept and forgive your "imperfections" and focus on your strengths so that you can design a life that allows you to be your authentic self. Sometimes that means adjusting your expectations to accept what you can't control, and sometimes that means stepping out of your comfort zone to change the things you CAN change. Either way, I'll be there to support you, encourage you, and empower you to make it happen!

I use an intuitive, cognitive - behavioral approach to helping you uncover any "blind spots" or self-limiting beliefs that are blocking you. The coaching process assumes you are a "whole" person, reasonably healthy, and ready and able to change. It works best for people who are receiving proper professional treatment for any medical disorders they may have. Sometimes, part of the coaching is helping you find the right professionals to get correct diagnosis and treatment.
If you are willing and ready to honestly explore and reframe the underlying emotional, cognitive and behavioral patterns that are not serving you, and change your perspective on things so that you can truly clarify and simplify your life, then you are a great candidate for coaching with me! Below are just a few of the ways people use private coaching with me:

If you feel stuck in cyclical patterns of overwhelm, perfectionism, excessive stress, or if your quality of life is being impaired by difficulty with following through on your intentions, it can wreak havoc and chaos in your life. Feeling like you consistently don't complete the things you intend to do, can leave you feeling like:"My life has been transformed and I smile all the time now. I am absolutely thrilled with your work and professionalism. You have changed my life! Doing laundry and putting clothes away is so easy now - it's actually a joy to do. In just the couple sessions we've completed so far, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I learned so much and am organizing things all over the house now! I never have to be ashamed again when people come to visit! Thank you so much!!"

"I just finished this book on the plane and it is awesome! It is easy to read, and visually very appealing. If you're struggling with clutter and organizational challenges in your office, this guide was meant for you..... the guide provides examples of organizing tools (bins, shelves, stands, etc.) and discusses the merits and potential pitfalls of each tool. I found this section to be valuable and thought-provoking. The author offers quite a collection of tips for filing, electronic organization, reinforcing and maintaining your systems. One last comment: it just feels organized. It's loaded with useful pictures -- and the layout, graphics, and flow of the book are awesome."
