Who we are
The power of two ADHD minds
In 2020, Katie Friedman co-founded Gold Mind Neurodiversity with a mission to offer dynamic coaching and training. A year later, she teamed up with Alex Campbell, and together, they launched Gold Mind Academy. Their collaboration resulted in a collection of ICF accredited, ADHD-friendly training programs, crafted to inspire, empower, and support every ADHDer on their journey to success.
