About Me

Tacoma, WA, United States
I was the Executive Director of the national non-profit organization, Attention Deficit Disorder Resources, (addresources.org), for 15 years. I am well prepared to provide you with excellent coaching. I graduated from the International Coach Academy, a coaching school certified by the Inter-national Coach Federation and I have a Master's Degree in Social Work. Over the past 15 years, I have talked with numerous people about their ADHD concerns and have attended or presented at a number of ADHD workshops and conferences. I have lived, and eventually thrived, with ADHD which was diagnosed when I was 49. I am married and have three adult sons, two with ADHD. I live in Tacoma, WA although born and raised in a small New England town. I was in the Peace Corps, toured China in 1983 when it first opened to the outside world, and seen much of the United Staes, especially our beautiful national parks. My interests, beyond helping people with ADHD achieve their full potential, are playing brain games on the computer, reading, travel, bicycling, skiing and hiking.

Too Many Irons in the First

How do you prevent overload in your life? Can you see it coming? Do you have a good idea of how many tasks you can be successfully juggling without coming apart at the seams? Do you realistically plan your time, and have a realistic idea how long planned tasks will take? Have you learned to be assertive in saying, "I'd love to, but I'll need to check my calendar first." What steps have you been taking to prevent ADHD overload?

One trick I have for getting things done is to tell someone else what I am planning to do. But , last month, I got in over my head, giving myself too much to do. I managed, but I was irritable, forgetful, and more disorganized. It took me several weeks to recover my good spirits and enthusiasm for life. Too many irons in the fire is not the way to live a good life. Let coaching help you learn to prevent burn out by not putting too many irons in the fire.
