NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Nate McCord

My path to becoming an ADHD coach was neither direct nor easy. Growing up, school was a battleground. I was the kid who was always talking, the one who dozed off mid-sentence while reading. Throughout my academic journey, including graduate school, I struggled silently, rarely opening a textbook, feeling lost and disconnected.

It was only after confronting these challenges head-on — seeking help, getting tested, and being diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, and depression — that my true journey began. This diagnosis wasn't an end but a groundbreaking new beginning. It led me to understand and eventually embrace the complexities of my mind.

Finding Strength in the Struggle

Since that pivotal moment, I've been on a journey to understand and embrace these diagnoses. I've wrestled with my own body and searched for ways to find help. It was during this journey that I met an incredible ADHD coach named Leslie. She showed me something profound: ADHD and dyslexia are not weaknesses; they are hidden strengths waiting to be uncovered. They may appear as weaknesses when left untreated, but with the right coaching and structure, I was able to see their potential as strengths.

Why I Do It

Many children and teens with ADHD can feel left out, they struggle with schoolwork, and find it hard to make friends. They feel misunderstood and see themselves in a negative light. It can be heart-wrenching to watch them navigate these challenges, from social exclusion to arguments at home and school.

Therefore, my goal is to help your child:

• Connect and Thrive Socially: Learn the skills to make lasting friendships, understand social cues, and become a part of a supportive community.
• Master Executive Functions: Gain essential skills for organizing, planning, and completing tasks, making school and home responsibilities manageable and less overwhelming.
• Embrace Their True Self: Discover the strengths hidden within their ADHD and start seeing themselves in a positive, empowering light.
