The document contains testimonials from individuals who received ADHD coaching from Edge Foundation. The testimonials describe how the weekly coaching calls helped improve their study skills, organization, motivation, and self-confidence. They learned to stay on top of homework, focus on tasks, and set priorities. Coaching also helped develop time management skills and held them accountable. One student credits coaching for his success in a rigorous academic program. A parent says coaching changed their son's life by teaching him to structure his activities and complete them.
2. All it took was a 30 minute call
once a week – just 30 minutes!
I truly can’t attribute my recent success to
anyone but my coach (except maybe my
parents who have put up with me for 16
years.)

3. Yes, there were the days when I
felt like I didn’t need to call my
coach…
…but with every call, my study skills
improved, my organization was practically
flawless, and my self confidence and ability to
motivate myself became fine tuned. I truly
can’t attribute my recent success to anyone
but my coach (except maybe my parents who
have put up with me for 16 years.)

4. Meeting with my coach helped
me keep motivated.
I was extremely unorganized in high
school. I started falling behind, especially
in math classes. Then I got a coach.
Knowing I would have to meet with my
coach every week motivated me to stay
organized. I went from constantly missing
homework assignments to missing no
homework assignments my senior year.

5. My coach helped me get
organized.
The study and organization skills I learned
with my coach have helped immensely in
my first semester of college. I now feel
more in control of my schoolwork and
grades.

6. I credit my success to the skills
my coach taught me!
Working with Ann has allowed me to
achieve my highest potential. She provided
me with the skills and technique’s I needed
to succeed in a rigorous and demanding
academic environment.

7. Our son’s coach, without
exaggeration, changed his life!
The coaching techniques taught him to
structure his activities and get them done.
He is now a successful associate at a
private equity fund in New York City. In our
experience with helping our son cope with
Attention Deficit Disorder, we found that
the coaching component was an absolutely
essential element.

8. My coach helped me focus on
what I needed to do.
When I break down what I need to do each
week with my coach, it makes it easier to
think about each task and get it done
quicker.

9. My coach held me accountable
to myself.
Recently my coach and I had a talk about
my personal life and really being truthful
about what it came down to. I made a goal
for school because my attendance was
bad. So we made up this thing where I
would text my coach when I came to
school. And, so, I’ve been texting her,
letting her know. It gave me this push to
start improving.

10. Coaches are there to support
YOU!
I loved seeing how my priorities all fell
together, so while I was improving on one
priority; it makes all the other priorities
better too. I loved the support and
direction coaching gives me. You see, all of
these goals kinda come down to my self-
image… they reflect how I feel about
myself.

11. A coach helps you find your own
answers.
Jaymi didn’t give me answers. She made
me ask questions. She made me get my
own answers.

12. Coaching taught me that you have
to take ownership of your work.
I couldn’t just tell my coach that I didn’t get
something done. She would then ask me,
“why didn’t you get it done?” and then I
would have to think about the ways that I
think about myself.

13. My coach helped me develop
personal qualities that help me
get things accomplished.
She showed me that I’m well-equipped to
get the things done that I need to get
done. But it’s the personal qualities -- time
management, caring about myself -- that
allowed me to get done what I needed to
get done.

14. My coach helped me figure out
my priorities.
Each week, we make lists of tasks and
named the positives and negatives of each
task. That helped me figure out what was
important to me. I love coaching!

15. My coach helped me organize my
academic schedule.
Before I took coaching I was very
disorganized and had no motivation. But
my coach helped me gain confidence and
helped me to become a better student who
works harder and more focused than I did
before.

16. My son’s coach made a huge
difference in his college success!
In the summer he had dropped out of his
freshman required writing class
twice. After working with his coach, he
completed the class and got his first “A” of
his college career. He had never earned
an “A” before.

17. I will be the only person in my
family on track to graduate.
My siblings and parents all had trouble
graduating. Coaching and the support I get
from it is what gives me confidence I can
make it through.

18. Coaching provides an alternative
to ADD meds.
Coaching has been instrumental in
beginning my transition to higher
education! My coach and I address my
problems in a way that embraces my
unique learning style. Together we create
achievable goals. Then the following week
we discuss which strategies were effective.
I am learning the tools to cope with my
ADD.

19. Edge Coaching is a voyage from
which I will continue to grow!
From working with my coach, I understand
dealing with ADHD is a process. It is not
something that will *get* better. Instead, I
can *be*better!
