Radio Show about ADHD and Bipolar Disorder
Over the years I have coached a large number of people who have both ADHD and Bipolar disorder. I was recently a guest on Jeff Copper’s radio show where we discussed this topic. I have added a link to a recording of the show for anyone who would like to listen to it. Please CLICK HERE. I think you’ll find the show informative. Please let me know what you think.
I’m excited!
As most people know I am on the board of directors of the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).
This organization is very exciting to me since it will very shortly begin credentialing ADHD Coaches.
The Core Competencies have been written and will very shortly be posted on PAAC’s website. I have agreed to spearhead an effort to have sound bytes made of some master ADHD coaches using the core competencies.
Please look at PAAC’s website in the next few weeks for some exciting news!

So I’m Back from ADDA…..
The ADDA conference was fantastic! Great people, great time, great food (I like food), great resort.
I got to spend some time with Mike Charest, David Giwerc, Sandy Maynard as well as a bunch of other new and old friends of mine.
I wish I could come up with a general theme or idea which was running through the conference in Tucson. But there wasn’t.
One thing that I found that was interesting to me was that there appear to be several groups interested in a seperate certification for ADD coaches.
I am generally quite in favor of this as long as it isn’t a “trick” for someone who wants to “control” ADD coaching to thier own end.
I believe that the ICF credentials (ACC, PCC and MCC) are certainly very meaningful and I think I would generally oppose ANY movement to credential ADD Coaches which didn’t first require the coach to be ICF Credentialed before being able to be ADD Coach credentialed.
What I’m saying is that even though a Life Coach and an ADD Coach are different things an ADD Coach is a coach first and THEN becomes an ADD Coach. For that reason I think that credentialing ADD Coaches prior to, or independent of ICF credentialling would be counter productive and in general bad for the profession.
