President’s Letter: October 2007
Unlike many of the professionals who also work with our clients, ADHD coaches specialize in ADHD. By specializing, we become experts. This expertise is one of our greatest assets in helping our clients reach their full potential. Members read more here.

Announcing the 2008 ACO Conference!
Last year’s conference was such a resounding success that we’re psyched to do it all over again!

  • WHEN: May 2-4, 2008 (That’s the first weekend in May)
  • WHERE: St. Louis, Missouri (Free shuttle from the airport. Reasonable room rates. And, just about the same price as last year!)

We’ve started adding information about the conference to the website.
     Check it out here.
     The Request for Proposals is available here.
     P.S. In case you are worrying about having to choose, it’s our understanding that ADDA’s national conference in 2008 will be held in July. Isn’t it great? You get to have your cake and eat it too!

What I learned at the NSGCD Conference
The ACO was a sponsor of the recent National Study Group on the Chronically Disorganized (NSGCD) conference.  Members read more about why this matters to coaches here.

Coaching for change when the client’s ready.
Pushing, or even imprudently encouraging, someone when he’s not ready for change isn’t particularly productive and in fact, may be counter productive. Members read more about recognizing the stages of change here.
