ADHD Coach – Group Coaching

Hi, I’m Brian, and I’m a coach with ADHD reWired.
I bring to coaching a lifetime of lived experience with late-diagnosed ADHD and a deep, ongoing curiosity about how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. My professional path has followed a very ADHD-shaped arc: I earned a B.S. in Economics, worked as an investment banking analyst, and later pursued careers in the film and legal industries. Like many ADHDers, I chased novelty and external validation, found periods of success, burned out, and started over more than once.
Eventually, I reached a turning point. I knew that continuing to push harder wasn’t the answer. I needed a different way of living, one grounded in understanding my brain rather than fighting it.

What Brought Me to ADHD Coaching
Before becoming a coach, I came to ADHD coaching as a client. For a long time, I knew something was missing, even if I couldn’t name it. I was searching for a better way to live with purpose, clarity, and self-understanding as an ADHDer.
What I found was transformative. Coaching helped me move out of survival mode and begin building a life rooted in self-trust, acceptance, and intentional design. As a coach, my mission is to share what I found and to support neurodivergent people in doing the same.
I believe ADHDers thrive when we start from wholeness, not deficit. When we step away from feeling “less than” our neurotypical peers and instead redesign our lives to work with our biology and behavioral traits, something fundamental shifts. We begin to rewrite the stories the neurotypical world has told us about who we are.

My Journey with ADHD reWired
I’ve been part of the ADHD reWired community since 2021, when I joined as a coaching group member in ArC 21. That experience was genuinely life-changing. It reshaped how I understood ADHD and myself, and it set me on a new path of growth and self-compassion.
After completing the program, I became active in the alumni community, building meaningful connections and continuing to apply what I learned. I later stepped into the ADDmin role, working alongside Eric Tivers and other coaches for four seasons of ArC. During that time, I began designing and facilitating workshops and programming for the alumni community.
In 2023, I officially joined the ADHD reWired team as a coach. Since then, I’ve coached five seasons of ArC and facilitated many workshops. I find deep satisfaction in supporting people who are ready for change and helping them access the same growth and perspective that changed my own life.

My Coaching Style
At the heart of my coaching is a collaborative, authentic relationship built on trust, connection, and vulnerability. I believe meaningful change only happens when we engage honestly with ourselves and each other. I work intentionally to create a space where all voices are welcome and where clients feel safe expressing their lived experience.
My approach integrates executive function coaching with mindfulness, mindset work, and somatic practices. We work with practical tools to manage daily life while also building the self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and internal alignment that allow those tools to actually stick.
One thing I’m very clear about: I don’t do toxic positivity or forced reframes. ADHD is a complex nervous system difference that includes both real strengths and real challenges. My coaching meets people where they are, with realism, compassion, and a focus on what genuinely works in their lives, whether or not they see ADHD as a “superpower.”

Why I Do This Work
For me, living wholeheartedly means working toward positive, sustainable change. I’m endlessly inspired by the creativity, diversity, and resilience of the ADHD community, and I learn alongside every client I work with. Supporting fellow ADHDers as they build fulfilling, values-aligned lives is deeply meaningful to me, and it continues to shape who I am as both a coach and a person.

Influences That Shape My Work
My approach is informed by several key thinkers and frameworks:
Brené Brown’s work, especially Daring Greatly, deeply influences how I understand shame, vulnerability, and change. Many adults with ADHD aren’t struggling because they lack effort; they’re struggling under years of internalized shame. Psychological safety isn’t optional, it’s foundational.
Marilee Adams’ Change Your Questions, Change Your Life informs how I help clients shift from self-judgment to curiosity. ADHD coaching isn’t about asking, “What’s wrong with me?” It’s about learning to ask better questions that open possibilities instead of shutting them down.
Carol Dweck’s research on growth mindset reinforces a truth I see daily: mindset beliefs shape how skills are learned, systems are built, and challenges are interpreted. For ADHD brains especially, reframing struggle as information rather than evidence of failure can be life-changing.
Russell Barkley, PhD, grounds my coaching in a realistic understanding of executive function. ADHD isn’t a motivation problem; it’s a regulation and support problem. That clarity helps us stop moralizing and start designing environments that actually support our lives.
Finally, Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion shapes how I help clients relate to themselves when things don’t go as planned. Progress is far more sustainable when it’s built on kindness and accountability rather than punishment.
Together, these influences inform an approach that is practical, compassionate, and honest. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll work together to help you work with your brain instead of constantly fighting it.

A Message from a Client
“Group coaching with Brian was an absolutely transformational time of my life. He’s not just a great example of how to live an intentional, impactful life with ADHD. He’s also a wonderful guide for introspection and teamwork, both empathetic and practical. Brian created a safe space where our diverse group of weirdos felt inspired to share honestly and grow together. He modeled deep listening and compassion, first for others and eventually for ourselves. If you have the opportunity to learn from him, take it.”
