The Challenge You May Have Observed
Organizations often encounter talented employees who struggle with organization, meeting deadlines, or completing projects due to executive function challenges.
They start with enthusiasm but lose focus.
They generate ideas but struggle with implementation.
They accept projects but miss deadlines.
They struggle to manage administrative tasks, such as expense reporting and email management.
These issues can be linked to ADHD or similar traits, not laziness or lack of motivation.
The Skills You May Have Overlooked
These individuals possess exceptional skills, including technical expertise, hard work, creativity, intelligence, problem-solving abilities, calmness in emergency situations, tenacity, loyalty, humor, and adaptability. With proper support, they offer immense value.
Why Traditional Performance Support Is Insufficient
Common interventions, such as time management workshops and performance improvement plans, often fail to address the root issue: differences in brain function that affect attention. Personalized systems and accountability, based on positive reinforcement, are crucial for consistent follow-through. ADHD coaching can provide this support.
What ADHD Coaching Entails in the Workplace
An ADHD coach helps enhance executive function skills, focusing on:
Follow through on goals and objectives
Identifying and managing priorities
Breaking projects into steps
Creating follow-through systems
Developing focused routines
Proactive communication
Self-coaching techniques
Task motivation
Coaching is goal-oriented and action-focused, resulting in fewer missed deadlines and improved alignment with organizational goals.
The Business Impact: What Companies Experience
Organizations that utilize ADHD coaching experience benefits such as improved project completion, increased engagement, clearer communication, and enhanced innovation. Studies conducted at the International Coaching Federation (ICF) demonstrate a significant return on investment for organizations that invest in coaching, including improved productivity, employee engagement, and retention rates.
