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.
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!
I came to ADHD coaching because I wanted to understand myself a little better and to find some tools that could help me approach goals/tasks without feeling so overwhelmed.
ADHD coaching gave me a whole new appreciation of ADHD as a condition. We started by talking about some of the psychology and physiology that underpins ADHD and actually normalised and validated my experience (ADHD brains are wired for interest, which actually may have been a survival advantage as hunter-gatherers). Lynn introduced a number of different lenses and tools that have given me a way to approach goals/challenges in a grounded and structured way without feeling overwhelmed.
Through working with Lynn, I’ve achieved a renewed appreciation for my unique self as well as a set of tools that will stay with me for life. In particular, I found it useful to think about the different things that can impact/affect an ADHD brain and how it can be helpful to identify the feeling state you want when you’re trying to achieve a certain goal, as well as grounding your approach in different strengths.
Lynn is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her! She is calm, grounded and warm and her approach is structured, and I was truly amazed at how much we managed to achieve in each 30 minute session
Lynn was immediately accommodating, letting me know that there was going to be a lot of talking from her in our first call. Always checking if I was okay with giving certain information.
I felt very comfortable talking about my personal life with her, thefact she also shared a bit about her own life made it feel like a conversation at times which improved the flow of the session. There were no points where I withheld information in fear of judgement or anything like that.
Even without a diagnosis, Lynn made my suspicions of having ADHD through the struggles in my personal life feel heard. I had never taken coaching sessions before, and definitely not through an ADHD lens and I’m happy I did so.
I felt that most of the sessions kept a consistent continuity thatfocused on my overall goals. Lynn made me think of very useful analogies to use that help me visualise how I can overcome and activate the activities that will help me reach goals.
I liked that Lynn assigned me “homework” that helped keep my goals and this self-development in mind more time outside of our sessions. It requires some accountability to actively observe my life to reach conclusions about myself and find solutions for any problems I identify which I struggle doing without help. Having “homework” to showcase in the next session is great accountability for this.
Lynn was an excellent coach that made me feel extremely comfortable sharing personal details about my life. She made sure that I was okay with the terms of the coaching sessions each time and asked if I needed to do any focus exercises to get me ready for the sessions. Most importantly, she made me feel like I was actually moving forward in my self-improvement journey with each session. If you want someone who will make you feel heard while identifying solutions to your problems fast, Lynn couldn’t be a better choice for you.
Thank you Lynn!
Lynn’s coaching was invaluable to me during a very turbulent time in my professional life. I have long suspected that ADHD has played a role in how I may have struggled with work in the past, but I don’t believe I truly understood how specifically it impacted me and therefore how to deal with it.
Lynn’s warm and friendly approach, combined with how clearly she explained the various models meant that I was able to get to grips with the different ways ADHD impacts me, and she provided me with the tools and encouragement to deal with this going forwards.
Her sessions were brief but detailed, which was perfect for me as it allowed me to digest the information in manageable chunks and build week by week, which kept me engaged in the process. I was able to build on the work we had done the week before, and by the end of this process I felt far more confident in my abilities to successfully work with my ADHD and to thrive in both a professional and personal context.
As we learn more about this extra challenge many of us have to live with, the idea of a coach weekly challenging you, ensures you focus on development. I found in an unconscious way a greater calm came over me even in six weeks.
