I'm Linda, your ADHD Coach

Hi! I'm Linda Walker, your ADHD Coach.

In my 20-year career, I've been an office manager, a business trainer, a Webmaster, a project manager and a successful sales representative. I've also started a successful office supply store and later a consulting business, where I helped other entrepreneurs build and grow their businesses.

I have always been able to see and bring out the best in people. I naturally adopted a "coaching" approach with my students, but I used these same strengths to build my businesses, manage my project teams and help my clients.

My most rewarding experiences, however, have been coaching entrepreneurial people. I discovered that many entrepreneurs start businesses because they feel constrained by jobs, and whether they know it or not, they often feel this way because they have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). These dynamos have the energy of six ordinary entrepreneurs, but benefit enormously from working with someone who can help channel that energy.

I can relate to these people. You see, my experience with ADHD, also known as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), began closer to home in "the school of hard knocks." My husband, also an entrepreneur, was diagnosed with ADHD 10 years ago, and the younger of our two daughters was diagnosed with ADHD and severe learning disabilities 11 years ago.

My struggles helping my daughter and my husband showed me how few resources were available. One resource we did find, however, was an ADHD coach. She coached my husband, and by working with her, he was able to transform his life. Inspired, I wanted to bring the same benefits to others struggling with their ADHD.

To help my daughter cope with her greatest challenge, school, we hired someone who was a coach, but who was not an ADHD coach. This is when we learned that a coach not trained to work with people with ADHD could do more harm than good.

I studied at the ADD Coach Academy (www.addca.com). I learned the philosophy and craft of coaching and became an expert on ADHD. I am a member of the ADD Association (www.add.org), of the International Coaching Federation (www.coachfederation.org) and its local chapter in Quebec (www.coachquebec.org) as well as a local ADHD support group to stay on the leading edge of advances in ADHD and coaching.

Combining my talents and training, I have been able to help ADHDers transform their lives. I’ve found that ADHDers apply the same “go-getter" attitude they bring to entrepreneurship to all big projects in their lives, and I love to help them focus that energy. Now I am ready and eager to help you. Are you ready to work with an ADHD coach?

Coaching can help you make major changes in your life and provide you with strategies to overcome the challenges of your ADHD. However, while I will help you along, you still must invest time and energy to benefit from coaching.

In other words, coaching will work if you meet certain criteria. To find out if you're ready for coaching,
