Some Benefits from ADD Coaching

by Pete Quily on August 8, 2005

Here’s some excerpts from the Vancouver province article profiling my former client and co-author Jeff Hamilton, on August 7th, 2005 p.b2. See previous post’s here and here.

Hamilton was diagnosed two years ago and embarked on an aggressive counter-attack involving medication and receiving life-skills coaching. “I had to look in the mirror and face myself,” said Hamilton. “Life-skills coaching and medication taught me to have that extra split-second to think about what comes out of your mouth, how you react physically and mentally.”

He went to Pete Quily, a Vancouver adult-ADD life-skills coach. “It gave me that ability to have a clearer train of thought, which contributes to how you react, to your emotions, your levity. All of those things relate to how you function in life, in a marriage, in a career, as a friend, as a parent.”

One mistake the article made was that it’s two people writing the book, not one. Although Jeff is doing the majority of the work. Overall it’s a good article, the reporter is Damian Inwood did a good job. Here’s 2 last ones

“Being diagnosed is probably the best thing that happened to me.”

Hamilton says he’s the happiest he’s been for the last 10 years.
