My training has come from several life coaches, mentors, business coaches, mind body masters throughout the past 20 years, and is from a 10,000 year old tradition. I come from the old school of thought that you have to have done and mastered the very thing you are looking to help others through or else you lack knowledge and experience to do it. In an effort to address this, we have launched our own certification program that sets a higher standard. The Overcome ADHD Mastery System has been taught to professionals for many years and we currently are a certifying agency for coaches, therapists, doctors, and counselors. We set the bar higher for ADHD coaching certification as we require that those wishing to teach others to master ADHD must have done the same themselves. In review of all the coaching certification course out there...we meet and far exceed the benchmarks of those programs. The ADHD Mastery System is unlike any coaching program out there as it combines mind body techniques with life coaching, and creates a fusion that is not in any of the coaching certification programs, but it has been proven to be extremely effective in studies. Since no other agency is qualified in our techniques that make our system so powerful we do not see the sense in seeking outside coaching certification. We are looking instead to offer coaches a way to evolve their practice through our 5,000 hour training program, and to help those who have overcome ADHD and wish to help others to get the recognition they deserve.. Q: Do you have references I can contact to ask about you? A: There are several professional recommendations on the site(click here) along with over 200 endorsements on linkedin from professionals that know me. I work along side many therapists, counselors, doctors, and medical professionals. I am well known in my community, and you are free to contact any of them, and ask about me on your own behalf. Due to my time constraints, and also that I wouldn't want these professionals to get overloaded with calls or emails,..I am going to leave contacting them up to you rather than posting or giving out their personal info. Go to my profile here.... click here Q: Is your program evidenced based? A: Absolutely! Yes all our techniques are well researched and proven to be incredibly effective for ADHD.
