Neurodivergently Coaching Terri Donohue & Deborah Shukyn-Plageman

As we considered the essentials, the foundational pieces we wanted to cover in this, our first season… our brains finally arrived at this IMPORTANT TOPIC for neurodivergently coaching – Executive Functioning or EF. So, today, the messy question we are working with is what exactly is executive functioning and how does it relate to neurodivergently coaching?

Today, we are excited and maybe even a little apprehensive to do justice to a topic that is growing exponentially RIGHT NOW.  The messy question we are working with today is ”What is the impact of artificial intelligence to neurodivergently coaching?”

Today is the second part of this two-part-er for more on communication by, with and for -  neurodivergently coaching. Today, we are working with the sometimes messy question, ”Does my dialogue and physical presence match your expectations of how I communicate who I am, and how do we engage with that?”

The topic of communication is such a broad topic that we have decided to do our very first ever two-part episode! Today we start with the the meta view and the messy question that we are working with today is … What is being communicated to us about neurodivergence from the wider or systemic perspective?

This involves the messages we receive from a socio-economic and popular cultural perspective, and how these things may come to bear on our coach training and our coaching. 

Stay tuned for the second part of this two-part-er for more on communication by with and for -  neurodivergently coaching - that will be in two weeks.

Today, we are talking about strengths-based coaching. Our dialogue is centred around the sometimes messy question, what’s right with you? And this is in contrast to the place folks often go where disability or neurodivergence is present - that is….What’s wrong with you?

In the last epidsode, we spent some time dissecting the concept of normal and how there is no single normal in how we show up in a neurodiverse world. For this episode! buckle up - today we’re having a conversation about living and working in a neuro-normative world and how that shows up for us in neurodivergently coaching.
