ADHD-Friendly Modules
-
MODULE 1- ADHD for All
8 Weeks (20hrs)
This foundational module dives into the experience of everyday living with ADHD. We use Dr Thomas E. Brown’s 6 Executive Functions model to structure the course and help us understand what ADHD is and normalise the often paradoxical, confusing and inconstant nature of the ADHD brain. We also explore the nuances, intersections and strengths that come with having a neurodivergent mind.
-
MODULE 2- ADHD Coming Home
8 Weeks (20hrs)
This module integrates narrative coaching & narrative therapy with the THRIVE recovery model to help us gain clarity on how we see ourselves, both prior to diagnosis (or before knowing) and then going deeper into what the story is about who we are now. We will explore our strengths and how we need to be systematic in compassionately shifting the often negative narrative view to one of empowerment!
-

10 Weeks (25hrs)
This module designed entirely for those with no prior ICF accredited coach training. It provide a comprehensive and highly experiential learning experience in understanding what ICF coaching is, ample opportunity to start coaching and a safe space develop the ICF core competencies in a fun and practical way.
