Coaches in Action

We want to acknowledge and pay tribute to the ADDCA Coach Graduates who are making great contributions to the ADHD coaching profession and for the outstanding work they are doing to educate and empower individuals with ADHD.

Business and Marketing Support for Coaches

The ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA) is very interested in helping you grow your coaching practice.

Our goal is to empower you on the basics so you can make educated decision when investing in your practice.  We will continue to provide sources for affordable, effective, marketing tools and educational classes that we hope can assist in building a profitable coaching business.    

Unfortunately there are many “marketing gurus” out there who prey on new coaches to invest hundreds and thousands of dollars with hopes of making millions overnight.  We ask you to be cautious.  

We will keep adding resources over time  that  we think will be helpful in building your coaching practice , so don't forget to visit again.

What If?

What if the world could be a place that accepted and embraced every one for their uniqueness? What if the world could be a place that did not judge or define ADDers by their ability to perform  but by the character they demonstrated? What kind of world could that become?

Positive Thoughts are a Foundation to Floursihing

Research conducted by Professor Barbara Fredrickson at The Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has indicated that positive emotions hold clear benefits for supporting the creation of a more flourishing life.One of the foundational pieces for creating a flourishing life is cultivating more positive thoughts and emotions, than negative ones, on daily basis. But how much more?

Professor Frederickson has conducted research focused on ratios of positive to negative thoughts and emotions. In 2005 Fredrickson and Losada published an article in American Psychologist to suggest that positivity ratios above about 3-to-1 and below about 11-to-1 are what humans need to flourish. Basically, it takes allot more work to overcome the negative thoughts whcih create stress on the health of our bodies and brains.

The greatest IGNORANCE people have is REJECTING something they know nothing about

The greatest IGNORANCE people have is  REJECTING something they know nothing or very little about  and then going out and saying things that justify that IGNORANCE. There are some people who by virtue of a credential or status, think they know what ADHD is and think they know what solutions need to be implemented for everyone to improve their ADHD. The scientific facts and  comprehensive health options that are part of a  successful system for managing ADHD have been researched, documented and disseminated to the public. They have been successfully used by countless numbers of people with ADHD to create fulfilling lives.

We know that proper diagnosis supported by the appropriate medications have been important components of successful treatment.  Wel-trained and experienced health care  professionals who work with people who have ADHD, know that an emphasis on medications is  NOT the ONE and ONLY SOLUTION. The “Pill” will not give you the skills to learn what needs to be integarted and implemnetd  to live a successful life with ADHD.
