How can coaching help when self-help books have not?
With Attention Deficit Disorder, your brain is “wired” differently than the non-ADD brain. So strategies that may work well for 80% of the general population won’t work well for ADD adults. In addition, no two people with ADD are alike. Even a book advising you on what to do with ADD may not really give the right strategy that works with your particular set of traits. Also, it can be hard for many people with ADD to focus for long on a book if they don’t find it very interesting. Many people buy self-help books on various topics, hoping they will contain the one nugget of “truth” that will provide a breakthrough. But ADD is complex. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. The coaching process addresses the unique complexity of the individual, allowing for tweaks along the way to find and perfect the most effective strategy for you as an individual.
