Neurodiversity
I help neurodiverse adults use their strengths to identify and overcome the particular barriers they face. The ultimate goal of Coaching is to improve your quality of life and progress toward reaching your full potential. I assist neurodiverse adults in navigating employment, education, relationships and life skills.
What is neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.
The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities.
Stigma, a lack of awareness, and lack of appropriate infrastructure (such as office setup or staffing structures) can cause exclusion of people with neurodevelopmental differences. Understanding and embracing neurodiversity in communities, schools, healthcare settings, and workplaces can improve inclusivity for all people. It is important for all of us to foster an environment that is conducive to neurodiversity, and to recognize and emphasize each person’s individual strengths and talents while also providing support for their differences and needs.
Neurodiversity Coaching
I focus on areas that help neurodiverse adults build confidence and productivity that will enable you to thrive in your personal and professional lives.
Emotional regulation
Our one-to-one coaching sessions can support learning behaviors such as rethinking a challenging situation to reduce anger or anxiety. In addition, you can learn stress management and resilience skills to help you flourish in your professional setting.
Impactful communication
I help you develop and improve interpersonal skills such as social interaction and impactful communication. I work with you to fine-tune your ability to communicate and collaborate with others effectively both personally and professionally.
Executive functioning
The ability to think differently and think outside of the box is a highly marketable skill and one that employers look for. I help you develop and implement executive functioning skills such as time management, organization, planning and prioritizing.
