Cheryl Susman ADHD Coaching
About Me
Professional Biography
I help parents, young adults, adults, and entrepreneurs living with ADHD stay on track, create calm, bring out the best in themselves, and lead more effective, satisfying lives.
As a mom of three grown kids who have ADHD, learning disabilities, and anxiety, I understand the emotional roller coaster that goes with our efforts to shoulder the burdens to support our kids. I'm committed to helping other parents and adults who are going through what I’ve seen my family go through and what I've lived through with them myself.
After working with me, my clients say they can manage their lives with more commitment and focus. They tell me they have less stress, more confidence, and greater empowerment to create the life they really want.
I graduated from the Coach Approach for Organizers™ Training, one of the few ADHD accredited programs by the International Coach Federation (ICF), the governing body of the coaching profession. In addition to being a member of the ICF since 2014, I have achieved the ICF Coach Credential, the Professional Certified Coach (PCC). I recently honed my training in the Laser-Focused Masterful Coaching Intensive, by Marion Franklin Master Certified Coach Trainer, who worked with the founder of coaching, Thomas Leonard, ICF Accredited.
I am also a Professional Educational Therapist, hold an Illinois Educator’s Certification, and an MA in Special Education, each specializing in learning disabilities and behavioral issues. In my prior career, I was a certified accountant and hold an MBA.
I want you to feel comfortable with your decision to work with me. I don’t want you to have to wonder if my systems, tools, and resources I’ll share really work.
Here’s my No-risk 3-point Guarantee:
I offer a complimentary mini-coaching session so you can sample how I work.
You get my “Pull the Ripcord Promise” on my programs. Depending on the program, after the first session (or hour), you can “pull the ripcord” and parachute out of our work together with no further obligation. A small administrative fee may apply in some cases.
I will not accept you as a client unless I am convinced that I can help you and that my service is right for you.
Contact me for an ADHD Strategy Assessment, and we will set you up with some realistic action steps you can take right now to get you to where you want to be.
