I think it comes down to finding what feels doable consistently, rather than expecting the same energy every day. Everyone’s needs are different, so the approach has to be flexible too.

Often, it’s in the little things, like when they stop second-guessing every word or feel comfortable sharing something they were hesitant to say before

That’s such a good point. Building strategies that still work after the initial excitement fades is just as important as getting started :)

Noticing those little moments can help clients feel safe enough to be themselves without fear of judgment. 💙

ADHD coaching focuses on practical strategies for daily life, unlike therapy, tutoring or friendship. There's high demand but few trained professionals. Trust your instincts! 💙

Energy blooms in task breaks—supporting coworkers, handling surprises, or hallway chats. These moments embody work's essence; actual duties can drain us. ADHD minds shine in connection and problem-solving, often seen as distractions. This "second job" is vital. 💙

ADHD boosts coaching through empathy and openness, allowing clients to share struggles. Your insights, celebration of small wins, and personal experiences with shame enhance connections—your ADHD is a strength! 💙 Join my free Q&A 👉 coachingwithbrooke.com/coach-certif...

You’re likely "easy to talk to," allowing others to open up. This powerful trait creates a safe space for honesty and reflection, forming the foundation of real coaching. Training can refine this skill into a craft. 💙

You don't need to start over to be an ADHD coach. If you have ADHD, you've already used vital coaching skills like pattern recognition and maintaining calm during setbacks. The goal is refining these instincts into professional abilities. 💙 👉 coachingwithbrooke.com/coach-certif...

Goal-setting is vital for coaches, especially with ADHD clients. Start small to ease into it and anchor goals in genuine interest or urgency. Build resilience so missed days don’t cause shame; it's about maintaining momentum. 💙 Click for a free Q&A 👉 www.coachingwithbrooke.com/coach-certif...

Watching another adult shrink and over-apologize evokes a familiar ache, stemming from your own experiences. This recognition isn’t sympathy; it’s born from having been there. The challenge lies in transforming that understanding into actionable support. 💙

Brooke Schnittman MA, PCC, BCC @coachingwithbrooke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Coaching rewards: set a goal, attach an outcome, and motivation follows. This often fails for ADHD clients needing immediate interest; dull tasks can induce shame instead of motivation. Solutions include making tasks novel, social, time-bound, and engaging.

Brooke Schnittman MA, PCC, BCC @coachingwithbrooke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Letting go is hard not due to who stays, but guilt over wanting everyone. Those with ADHD often adjust for others, making it feel like a loss when they stop. Your story isn't too much; it's info on who can truly handle it.

Most coach training works well for neurotypical clients, emphasizing goals and accountability. Standard tools may cause shame or paralysis instead of motivation. Join my free Q&A on certified ADHD coaching 👉 www.coachingwithbrooke.com/coach-certif...

In ADHD coaching, focus on understanding underlying issues instead of just tools. Explore clients' challenges tied to fear or failure to build connection and set yourself apart from technique-only coaches. Embrace curiosity for effective solutions & to excel as an ADHD coach.

Comparing your effort to speed isn't the same as assessing how differently you need to work for lasting results. This realization can save years of feeling like effort is the issue rather than approach. It's about directing energy effectively. 💙

When a client goes silent, they might need space. For ADHD clients, this can mean they're processing or feeling overwhelmed. Rushing in may lead to misunderstandings; instead, gently ask about their silence for better understanding. Learn more 👉 www.coachingwithbrooke.com/stand-out-fr....

ADHD brains process praise and criticism differently, retaining criticism longer due to a nervous system response. Recognizing this can shift the narrative from feeling broken to finding solutions. 💙 Free call here 👉: calendly.com/coachingwith...

Bad advice suggests raising stakes for ADHD clients, causing inaction. Instead, start with embarrassingly small steps—easier to tackle! Small wins build momentum more than big goals. Remember, motivation follows action! 💙

Brooke Schnittman MA, PCC, BCC @coachingwithbrooke.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

ADHD coaching isn't for everyone. If you seek quick income or easy answers, it may not be right for you. Clients need patience and curiosity; frustration can cause disengagement. Coaching is more than just planners. If you're up for the challenge, you could be a great fit!

010

Brooke Schnittman MA, PCC, BCC @coachingwithbrooke.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

RSD makes the brain perceive social cues as threats, leading to emotional pain. Clients may become quiet or overly agreeable on sensitive topics. Untrained coaches might miss these signs; trained ones can address them. Recognizing RSD is crucial for effective ADHD coaching.

Brooke Schnittman MA, PCC, BCC @coachingwithbrooke.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

ADHD clients may ghost due to fear of judgment rather than lack of interest or funds. Pursuing them can increase anxiety. Providing a non-judgmental space encourages their return after setbacks, while addressing shame and schedules can reduce ghosting.

010

Brooke Schnittman MA, PCC, BCC @coachingwithbrooke.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Coaching ADHD clients can be challenging, not from a lack of skills but due to their unique brain function, which may lead to shame instead of motivation. Adopting strategies like a strength-first approach and energy reading can facilitate progress.
