My invisible Coach: A Father’s Journey Through Coaching, Parenthood, and Neurodiversity

They say hindsight is 20/20. Looking back, I can laugh with my 22-year-old son about the many parenting missteps I made, all while navigating the uncharted waters of neurodiversity. But if I’m being truly honest, I didn’t do it alone. There was a hidden coach by my side the entire time—my wife. Patient, persistent, and wise, she guided me not with lectures or reprimands, but with quiet nudges, subtle insights, and infinite compassion.
Unbeknownst to me, I was being coached all along

Mei: July 2024

My first experience with a licensed coach, and it was a complete revelation! Lynn was the perfect combination of professionalism, patience, courtesy, and kindness. I found her coaching style to be pragmatic yet compassionate, in helping to guide my partner and I towards to an amicable balance between our absorbing business life, complex family obligations, and impending retirement plans.

As an added benefit, she helped us to develop new ways in how to effectively communicate and set mutual goals together. I would recommend Lynn without hesitation. In fact we plan to continue with her coaching services on a regular basis, because her impact is immense, and her methods sustainable for our long-term happiness!

Libby: May 2022

I felt safe and found it easy to share. We kept going back to my original goals and keeping it in mind. Although I had a hard time choosing priorities for each session with so much going on, but Lynn was helpful in setting goals for the session. It was super helpful to have accountability and something to work on between sessions.

I realise the aim of coaching is to help people find their own answers, but I struggle to listen to my gut/talk/feel etc all at the same time. So this was a challenge. I wouldn’t have been offended by more advice or input. You’ve been a terrific coach and friend. I look forward to working together in the future.
