Coaching Client
"What I like about coaching is being understood. I've learned that being an individual is not a bad thing. If we were all the same, life would be boring! Seeing the world like I do is a gift, not a disability. We all see the world in our own way. I turned those so-called 'disabilities' into strengths."
"I've learned a lot about myself just by talking to someone that is trying to help make my life more of an adventure, instead of being stuck and contemplating what I don't have. This program has made me open up to new ideas and find meaningful relationships."
"I'm learning so much about how [my neurodivergent loved one] sees the world; and the opportunities for conversation between us-as well as our enhanced vocabulary for what's going on-are gifts beyond measure."
