Personal Transformation “PT” (M-100 Prerequisite II)



Module: 100
During this next foundational course, you will engage in a transformational process to discover and explore
new realms of your being that will positively change the way you look at yourself and others.
So you've finished taking Simply ADHD.

Now, you understand your ADHD and what's been getting in the way all those years.

The dark veil of ADHD pessimism has been lifted. Your natural brilliance and strengths are shining; you just don't know what to do with them.

Well you are now ready to begin the Personal Transformation course where you will begin to develop a strong foundation for your own self development.

In this course, you will begin to integrate your knowledge of ADHD into your own transformational process so that you can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

You will create a clear definition of your most cherished values as a new blueprint for your own integrity and begin to identify new boundaries that will be aligned with your chosen purpose.

The Academy calls our 18 teleclass course, PT, "Personal Transformation" because that is exactly what will happen when you participate in this life-changing course.

During PT you will learn:


Powerful tools to dramatically change the way you look at yourself and what kind of behavior you will accept from others
How to identify the boundaries that were blinded by your ADHD, and successfully use them as a powerful tool to dramatically improve your quality of life
How the needs of acceptance, acknowledgment, understanding and respect are huge gaps in your life and how you can fulfill these needs so your true self can emerge
How to identify and eliminate limiting beliefs like the speed trap, performance paradigm and the one- size fits- all mentality which are all illusions that prevented you from embracing your unique strengths
How the chaos, your ADHD created, can be converted into a clear purpose for you to pursue
How your confusion and overwhelm when performing challenging tasks can be transformed into a new discovery of your hidden strengths aligned with your heartfelt values.

PT will literally transform you from an anxious, overwhelmed human always feeling like you have to prove your worth, to becoming a confident human being, with integrity, who knows what they need to become their true, authentic self.

Personal Transformation (Module 100) is our other foundational course and is also the second prerequisite course for the ADD Coach Training Programs. It must be taken after the Simply ADHD course (M-99)



Introduction to Coaching (M-101 Basic)



Module: 101
This module is designed to introduce you to coaching. We’ll define coaching and discuss what it means to be a coach. We’ll also look at how coaching is distinguished from other professions. We’ll get our first look at the ADDCA Coaching Foundational Principles and the International Coach Federation’s Core Coaching Competencies
This module will also introduce you to the ADDCA coaching process and the models you’ll be learning here. It’s important right from the beginning of your training to introduce you to coaching ethics and standards, and we’ll review those and study a few possible scenarios. Finally, we want you to begin thinking about what coaching can do for clients, how they will benefit, what you’ll deliver, and just what kind of coaching business you wish to create.




LEAP & QuestVersation© Models (M-102 Basic)



Module: 102
This module is designed to introduce you to two basic ADDCA coaching models. These models will serve as a foundation for your coaching, informing and guiding you throughout every coaching session you hold.
First, we’ll discuss the LEAP model and what we mean by stages of a client. You’ll learn the stages of LEAP and how to recognize which stage your client is working in. We’ll also review other models to see how they support the ADDCA LEAP model and refine your thinking. We’ll quickly review ADDCA tools you’ll be learning which you can use within each stage of LEAP.
The second model introduced in this module is the QuestVersation© model. We’ll explore the value of a coaching conversation model and how it supports the core coaching competencies. Then we’ll study the steps of the QuestVersation© model. Finally, we’ll review how these two models work together to support your coaching and your client’s growth. We’ll conclude the module with a case study.



Establishing the Coaching Partnership (M-103 Basic)



Module: 103
This module is designed to introduce you to the coaching relationship and how we establish it. We’ll define what a coaching partnership is and discuss the related core competencies. Then we’ll explore how to lay a foundation for the coaching partnership.
As part of that foundation, the coach and client must determine how they will work together, and we’ll look at elements to include in that early conversation. There are tools we’ll use to initiate and sustain the relationship, and we’ll be creating some during this module. Finally, we’ll explore how the QuestVersation© model provides a powerful, sustaining foundation for the coaching partnership.



Supervised Coaching (M-104 Basic)



Module: 104
Supervised Coaching teleclasses provide you opportunities to practice your skills and receive feedback from a credentialed teleclass leader.

Students must attend* 6 sessions and coach 2 times throughout the Basic training modules. A PCC or MCC instructor will provide verbal and written feedback. Supervised Coaching teleclasses take place on the opposite days of your Basic General teleclasses but generally at the same time of day.

*Supervised Coaching teleclasses also take place on the telephone bridge lines so you can participate from the comfort of your home or office.
