New Beginnings With Coaching: 2026


“For the first time in a long time, I actually feel hopeful.”


My client had been digging deep into learning about his ADHD, being honest about how it was impacting his family life and self-esteem, and beginning to untangle himself from false narratives he had been carrying.  And for the first time in a long time, hope was showing up for him.

 

Over the past few weeks I’ve been reflecting with huge gratitude on the growth of Ellen Steele: ADHD Coaching in the past year.  One of the great privileges of what I do is being allowed into people’s lives and trusted to walk alongside them as they work incredibly hard at taking steps toward a more hopeful life.    As a coach, I get to partner with people who are ready to take a focused look at how their ADHD is showing up in their lives, and explore with them new ways to operate, think, and feel about themselves…and it is awesome!

 

At Ellen Steele: ADHD Coaching, I operate with these assumptions:


  1. The first step is incredibly courageous. 

    By the time you make your first coaching contact, you have already begun looking honestly at yourself, assessing your life situation, and naming the fact that you want to change.  That takes incredible courage, and it’s the first step toward moving in a new direction.

 

  1. Coaching isn’t an overnight process, but it IS a deeply worthwhile process.

    Identifying places in your life where you desire to grow and change will lead you into seeing parts of  yourself that may not be serving you well.  As you learn about how ADHD is impacting your life, you will also be growing in other important parts of your life as well.

 

  1. You are not a “deficit.” 

    Let me say it louder for the people in the back:  YOU ARE NOT A DEFICIT.  Unfortunately, people living with ADHD hear that word explicitly or implicitly every time they say, “ADHD.”   That’s why, at the very beginning of coaching, I help my clients identify their incredible strengths that they can leverage for the growth and change they want to see in their lives.

 

If you would like to make some positive changes for yourself in the new year, I would encourage you to consider coaching.  Whether you have gotten an official diagnosis of ADHD or are just seeing places that your life needs a little work, coaching can open up paths that can move you forward toward the hope-filled life you desire.


Happy New Beginnings in 2026! - Ellen
