I’ll be doing an interactive presentation on Adult ADHD coaching at The Vancouver Adult ADD support group this Tuesday, February 2nd from 6.30-8.30 at Ravensong Community Healthcare Center, 2450 Ontario St, near Main & Broadway.

Or do something good for others and get a chance to get something good for yourself.
I’m donating a month of free coaching cost $300 to Twestival Vancouver 2009. I did the same to Twestival Vancouver in 2008 where the charity was charity:water. While I do mainly focus on adults with ADHD, my initial training was as a life coach and I do sometimes coach non ADDers.
Twestival’s slogan is tweet meet give
