CoachCafe: Coaching for ADHD is a monthly peer-led forum where coaches can exchange insights on supporting adult clients with a formal diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or those exhibiting ADHD traits. Whether you're just beginning to work with neurodivergent clients or have been doing so for some time, this space is designed to be supportive, allowing for questions and sharing thought leadership.

Based in NYC, we enthusiastically welcome International Coach Federation (ICF) members from all locations. While we refrain from giving medical advice, dual therapist coaches are encouraged to share their coaching experiences, including best practices for referrals to specialists.

Our Zoom meetings are held from 12-1 pm EST on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday of each month. Future in-person meet-ups in NYC are a possibility, based on demand. We recognize the challenges of committing to events beforehand, so registration will remain open until 11:30 am EST on the event day. Upon registering, the Zoom link will be automatically emailed to you.

Agenda:

• Introduction of new members and sharing of wins (10-15 minutes)
• Discussion on the main topic or a presentation by a guest speaker (25 minutes)
• Workshopping client issues and sharing relevant resources (20-25 minutes)

Facilitators:

Minal Kamlani (ACC, TICC, BS Business) is a mindful growth coach specializing in transformational coaching and inclusive leadership. As an ICF NYC Professional Development Committee member, she focuses on trauma-informed coaching and DEIJB initiatives such as neurodiversity. Her training is through Co-Active, Moving the Human Spirit, JST, and Stanford Medical School. Minal’s background as a woman of color in the LGBTQ+ community, comprehensive coach training, and empathetic approach provide an emotionally safe space for individuals facing challenges in their relationships, workplaces, and communities.

Adam Griffin (ACC, MA) caught the coaching bug while working with his own coach. Shortly thereafter, he completed Ontological Coaching training at Coacharya in India. His years of acting training, performing both as an actor and a musician, and his meditation practice all enhance his deep listening skills.
