In 2017 I was made redundant from my job after I was unable to perform the position I had filled for 11 years. I felt broken and alone and I did not how to fix all that was wrong with me. No matter how hard I tried or what I did, nothing seemed to help. THEN, my son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 29. Our GP thought I should be tested also and at the ripe old age of 55, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Looking back on my schooling, early life and experiences, this diagnosis made so much sense. AND, along with the diagnosis came hope. There was a focus, something I could investigate, dissect and apply to my chaotic mind, house and life.
My work experience includes Job Search Trainer for Job Network Agencies, Human Resources, Personnel Officer and Payroll for Telstra, Trainer for Registered Training Organisations, Service Officer/Ministerial Writer at Centrelink and Resume and Selection Criteria writer in my own business. I liked people, I loved helping people. Putting all this together with ADHD, I discovered ADHD coaching and my new direction, career and passion was born. I engaged an ADHD coach of my own (thanks Michele Toner!) when I was studying and was astounded at the difference it made to my understanding of ADHD, my ability to get things done and my confidence.
