Leadership coaching and ADHD coaching

What if you already have the answers?

Coaching sparks you to listen to yourself, trust your intuition, and go after what’s important to you.

Leadership Coaching

I coach people to expand and deepen their leadership,
and have impact in their lives, work and communities
in ways that are meaningful to them.

My coaching helps people to -

Working with a coach means you have a thinking partner who

  • Helps you get super clear about what’s most important,

  • Supports you to dismantle the worst-case scenarios that you’ve imagined (and are getting in your way),

  • Cheers you on as you take powerful steps forward

Coaching helps you slow down for a beat and recognize what’s most important to you, and when your perspectives and mindsets are supporting you or seem to be holding you back. Through coaching you’ll start to shift more attention to the confident, inner-voice that knows the answers, and you’ll learn to quiet down or flat-out ignore the critical inner-dialogue that’s creating roadblocks.

When you can hear yourself, you’ll find it’s easier to

  • Approach and resolve conflicts of all sorts

  • Share your vision and ideas, and get others engaged

  • Find more creativity and new thinking

  • Take steps forward and gain momentum

Curious how coaching can support you to reclaim your confidence
and feel ease in more of your life and leadership?

ADHD Coaching

For Adults with ADHD &
Parents, Caregivers, and Partners of people with ADHD

I work with adults with ADHD, and people who have young children, students, or partners with ADHD in their lives. My goal as a coach is to support people to understand ADHD and ways to work with it (rather than fight it), to recognize their strengths and build confidence, and create positive momentum in the parts of life that are important to them.

ADHD coaching can help people:

  • Understand executive functioning and how to better support attention, impulse, and emotion regulation

  • Learn how to internally motivate themselves to start and complete tasks, without relying on last-minute procrastination

  • Gauge their energy levels and practice rebalancing their days and weeks to reduce burn-out and exhaustion

  • Create systems and habits that support navigating work, social relationships, family life, etc. with less chaos

  • Reclaim self-confidence to make forward progress on the ideas and aspirations that are important to them

Every coaching session is unique and tailored to what you want to focus on. In general, ADHD coaching incorporates three areas of growth and development: ADHD Knowledge, Skills and Strategies, Positive Momentum.

ADHD Knowledge
and Learning

We'll keep building your ADHD knowledge and understanding how it gets in the way of regulating impulse, motivation, attention, etc. When the time comes for you to create strategies to manage ADHD challenges, you'll have a strong foundation of knowledge to guide you to solutions.

Skills and Strategy Development

Boosting current habits, practicing new routines that work with your ADHD, building on your current strengths and preferences. We’ll work together to strengthen existing skills and build new ones that you can count on while navigating daily life.

Positive Momentum

We'll always keep what's important to you in focus, and keep building towards those results. You have ideas, outcomes, and mileposts you want to reach and we'll lean into your strengths, find ways to support you where you feel challenged, and keep moving you forward.

Parents, Caregivers, and Partners

Coaching includes these areas of focus, with two goals in mind: supporting the person you care about and creating more ease, space and opportunity for what’s important to you and the people you live with. Coaching can help to establish habits and routines that support organization, motivation, self-advocacy, and quickly move towards more days with less chaos, more independence, and more thriving while living with ADHD.

ADHD Coach Training

I’m trained as an ADHD coach, through MentorCoach, which is one of two coach training programs certified by the Professional Association for ADHD Coaches, and I follow the ICF and PAAC codes of ethics. I’m neurodiversity-aware, through classes with the Neurodiversity Coaching Academy.

I’m also a parent of children who think and perceive the world differently, and our family has received lots of coaching support that’s helped us navigate daily life challenges, find more space in the day-to-day, teach our kids to recognize their strengths, and how to think and cope ahead when their regulation and executive functioning skills might struggle. I became an ADHD coach so that I could offer that kind of support to others, celebrate their wins, and encourage them as they learn to trust their intuition and feel grounded in confidence.

Coaching can help you do this …

“I started working with Kate when I was at a point in my life where I felt stuck and aimless. On the surface everything seemed “fine” but I was unhappy and unclear about why I was feeling so listless. From the very first consultation with Kate, she created a space for me to be vulnerable and honest about how I was feeling and she was able to guide me toward understanding what was going on and figuring out that I had the power to determine what steps to take to fix it.

I chose to invest in Kate’s coaching services, and in six months she helped me foster a new sense of professional and lifestyle direction, confidence and freedom to pursue living the life I truly wanted but hadn’t been awake to. Her ability to gently, but firmly, coach me to look within and answer truthfully what I wanted allowed me to take my game to the next level.”

And this …

“In working with Kate I really started to unlock a lot more of my own personal strengths I wasn’t aware I had. I felt like a shadow of myself, and was confused why life just wasn’t clicking. We focused in on what I wanted to fix in myself. Detailing out and obsessing over my goals and interests for an even brighter future. And most importantly she gave me the space and the clarity to realize my life was and has always been pretty bright and the power to change less than desirable outcomes was within me the entire time.

I’m so very thankful for the time dedicated to myself that Kate provided to me. Oh! And with this clarity I was able to get what has been a dream job at a company that aligns with my personal mission, prioritize myself, and most importantly realize what I bring to the table and my own worth.”

Hi there. I’m Kate. (she / her)

I'm a professional coach. I love working with people who are curious, constant learners, and who know their own great potential but sometimes aren’t sure how to get there.

I coach because I want to support people to get more of what they want in their lives - fulfillment, ease, stretch-yourself-in-a-good-way challenges, unshakeable trust of their internal compass, or whatever is important to them. I work with people who feel the call to expand their personal leadership and explore the impact they can have in their work, communities, and lives.

My coaching work includes one-on-one coaching for people at all stages of life and career, coaching teams in businesses and organizations, and leading workshops and strategy sessions.

I trained for 12-months with Accomplishment Coaching, have completed the 7-month-long Playing Big Facilitators Training with Tara Mohr, am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), have completed Mentor Coach training to be a PAAC-certified ADHD coach, and continue to be coached by, and learn from, other coaches. I’m certified in EQi and EQ360 assessment tools.

Before becoming a coach, I worked in nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, led internal marketing and brand teams, and was agency-side for brand strategy. If you’re curious about that part of my career (it involved nuts and soda), LinkedIn will give you the story.

After living in Seattle, Washington for over 20 years, I traded in my rain gear for snow boots, and moved to Western Wisconsin with my family. I’m committed to being anti-racist and working for equity and inclusivity.

I acknowledge that I benefited from living on the unceded land of Coastal Salish people, specifically the Duwamish people, when I lived in the city now known as Seattle, and I benefit from living on the unceded land of the Ojibwa, Dakota, and Ho-Chunk peoples in the area now known as Western Wisconsin. I contribute monthly to the Indian Land Tenure Foundation’s Beyond Land Acknowledgement Fund.
