In this podcast episode, hosts Ash and Cam continue to discuss the coaching process with an ADHD client - this time one of Cam’s clients. They illustrate the significance of exploring the client's challenges, assumptions, and initial expectations at the beginning of a coaching engagement to clearly determine the scope or goals of the coaching. The client, a music teacher, initially felt overwhelmed with administrative tasks and the pressure to fill seats in her elective program. She believed the goal would be to address everything that was on her plate. ADHD puts too many things on our plates. The coaching helped her shift her goals to focus more on prioritizing and developing efficient and creative ways to have a better work day. Through experimentation the client realized she could prioritize her classroom experience, connecting with her love for music and education. This shift not only improved her daily experiences but also led to creative solutions, like involving older students to promote the program through engaging activities like Guitar Hero.

The discussion explores the coaching skills and processes used to educate listeners about the change process in coaching. The hosts emphasize the importance of reconnecting with personal values and finding creative approaches to navigate challenges living with ADHD and that good coaches will use the coaching process to help clients define the scope of the coaching work.
