The concept of coaching has been impactful for me as a person and as a mother.\u00a0 On the one hand, coaching is very conducive to me because I do not function well in an environment where mindless conformity and the one-size-fits-all is expected and enforced.\u00a0 I grew up in a system where success was achieved by following an external standardized system, and the concept of calling forth the inner soul was nonexistent.\u00a0 My first experience with coaching<\/a> was through self-help books for my own personal goals.\u00a0 This transformed the way I perceived things and life, in general.\u00a0 Through the concept of coaching, I have developed and grown my inner strengths in ways that I thought were impossible.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, coaching<\/a> has particularly impacted me as a mother.\u00a0 I gave birth to my son, who has ADHD<\/a>, while I was living in China as an expatriate married to a Chinese national.\u00a0 Because of the lack of recognition and understanding of neurobiological conditions such as ADHD, my son naturally needed to have an alternative academic education outside of the standardized school system.\u00a0 I was fortunate to have access to many resources (online and via international shipping!) used in coaching to homeschool my son.\u00a0 I was able to develop systems for my son to help him function successfully with ADHD, even though sometimes I wasn\u2019t even aware I was being impacted by a coaching model or resource at the time.\u00a0 As a result, a very close partnership was created between my son and me from when he was very young and remains today as I continue to use many coaching tools and concepts with him.\u00a0 The fruits of coaching are very evident, as my son thrived when he started attending a brick and mortar school for the first time and also was recently accepted into an elite high school this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
