David Giwerc

There is a good chance that you know someone with ADHD/ADD - either a friend, family member or colleague, either diagnosed or not, perhaps even you. If you are a coach, it’s almost certain that you will someday have a client with ADHD.  This condition can cause a serious loss of effectiveness at work, home or school due to chronic hyperactivity, forgetfulness, lack of concentration, or impulsiveness. Come learn from the world’s leading authority on ADHD/ADD and coaching.

For those individuals who struggle with ADHD, it can be like riding a volatile wave in the ocean. They never really know where the current is going to take them. However, if they can learn which variables impact their ADHD, they can eventually develop a smoother ride through life’s unpredictable and turbulent currents.

Learn what can be done to minimize the struggles and accentuate success in order to improve the person’s quality of life? It’s essential to understand how an individual’s unique ADHD challenges show up in their life.  Without a basic understanding of how and where ADHD manifests, the same old impairing patterns will continue to expand.

During this informative and stimulating presentation, David Giwerc, MCC, Founder and President of the ADD Coach Academy, will provide you with an excellent overview of how the coaching process can successfully help anyone with ADHD. David has trained hundreds of ADD/ADHD Coaches from all over the world. His proven techniques have positively changed the quality of life for countless numbers of individuals with ADHD.

Announcing our best offer ever! When you attend the July CCF monthly meeting, you can bring a friend for FREE to that same meeting! The only thing we ask is that the friend has not been to a CCF meeting in 2009.

And...YOU get a bonus, too! Just for bringing a friend to the July meeting, you get a bounceback coupon to attend a future 2009 CCF meeting for FREE!

This offer works whether you pre-register or show up at the door for the meeting. The paying member needs to send an RSVP to ccf-website@RenaissanceMinds.com once their online pre-registration is complete or notify the admissions table of the FREE attendee on the day of entry. Prior attendance records will be verified to assure that the "Free Friend" has not yet attended a 2009 CCF meeting.
