Many coaches already work with neurodiverse clients—but don’t always realize it. Differences like ADHD, autism, and anxiety can shape how clients think, communicate, and respond in coaching sessions. Without the right understanding, even well-meaning coaches may unintentionally create barriers to progress.

You’ll explore how neurodiverse traits influence coaching dynamics and learn proven strategies to build stronger trust, connection, and outcomes with all clients.
Led by experts with over 15 years of experience in neuro-informed coaching, this session is ideal for coaches at any stage—new, experienced, internal, or external—as well as educators, leaders, and HR professionals. Walk away with tools you can immediately apply to make your coaching practice more accessible and impactful for everyone you serve.
