About Training

Please contact Maureen Nolan, Your Attention Coach.

My passion as a coach is leading both students and adult clients to develop internal structure and attention on what matters in their lives: business, education, fun, family, relationships – all the ways passion makes a difference.

My vision is a healed ADHD heart, a mind healed from the experience of living with ADHD.

My mission is to make a difference in the lives of people living with ADHD through:

Individual Coaching
Group Coaching
Consulting
School & Business Presentations

I support and motivate my coaching clients with

a variety of tips and tricks for individual solutions

including:

  • Working with attention and focus development in students and professionals for better relationships, academic standing and business success
  • Regular contact by email and phone – life happens outside of the coaching session
  • Resolving sleep problems through Brainspotting, a type of brain-based trigger-point release
  • Using Guided imagery for problem resolution
  • Using Handwriting analysis to show a client’s personal relationship with attention – this assessment is used to show clients their attention status as it is expressed in their handwriting
  • Using Brain Solutions: a focused use of metaphor and meditation to develop right brain solutions to elusive problems
  • Using Left brain skill development (organization and prioritizing) and support for creative people who are right brain dominant

My favorite endorsements:

  • I learned more about ADHD from Maureen in one hour than I did in six months with my psychiatrist. Photographer L. B., age 48

  • Maureen is a gem as an ADD coach and mentor.  Her gentle guidance helped me reclaim  and embrace skills, strengths and resources I already had, and encouraged me to own them.  Her clear and focused approach helped me prioritize issues and projects and pave the way for growth and new opportunities. Her flexible work style is perfect for short or long term collaboration.  She’s always available as a sounding board to help you find your own solutions and point you in the right direction.  I will continue to work with her in the years to come.  Maria/Mediaspan Communications, age 38
  • This afternoon was the first time in my adult life that I was able to converse with another person about my ADD. Thank you for showing me the computer program that I will be able to use; the one that will read back my letters and documents will get daily use. James, age 65

Personal

I live in Decatur, Georgia  …  in an old growth oak forest, on the watershed to the Atlantic. I am the mom of two adult children who themselves have struggled with ADD and still manage the continuing challenges of ADHD and its co-morbidities.  My daughter is an amazing, intelligent young woman who at 25 has a B.A. in French, is married, is out in the retail world and plans a Masters in Linguistics; and my creative, musical son attends college at 23 with an AA from Landmark College in Vermont, is musical and will attend the Georgia State University School of Music and works as a carpenter.

My other passion is that of jewelry design,  A Modern Relic (Etsy). I make mesh-based, mesmerising adornments for women and men, fabricated from precious and craft wire, semi-precious and seed beads. I use peyote stitching and incorporate copper annealing techniques, precious metals and sometimes anything that strikes my fancy. My work was in the Decatur Artists Market and Gallery in Decatur, Ga.  from October through December 2009.
