What Is
Coaching All About?
Be part of the Solution, not the problem!
Coaching is about measurable results in a reasonable amount of time.
Professional coaching is an ongoing partnership that focuses
on defining and setting goals in order to get great results.
As an experienced coach, I conduct weekly sessions (usually by
phone) where I provide structure, accountability and support.
The AD/HD Coaching Process Is Unique
"I was referred to Nancy by Dr. Ned Hallowell.
Nancy Snell is a successful coach with a business background who specializes in Adult ADD. Her well trained, focused yet empathetic approach is just what I needed to move forward as I learned, for the first time, how my ADD contributed to my inability to accomplish my goals.
Nancy helps me organize my thoughts and actions and stay focused so that I can successfully function and actually reach my goals. Our discussions have been key in my not getting lost in the “swirl” that sometimes afflicts my way of thinking and diverts my intentions.
The structure that our sessions provide is invaluable. Knowing that at a set time each week Nancy will be available to review my actions or inactions really helps to organize me. Most important, I don’t have to struggle alone."

ADDers not only have challenges paying attention to the world around us, but also we struggle when focusing on the world within us. ADD coaches listen to our clients to discover who they are and who they want to be. We listen with compassion and understanding in an effort to help our clients better observe themselves. Through a supportive, non-judgmental environment and ongoing relationship, the client gains insight and courage to make changes that have long eluded him.
Why work with a knowledgeable AD/HD Coach?
A knowledgeable AD/HD coach:
- Help you get organized
- Help you plan and set realistic goals
- Help you stay on task
- Encourage you
- Help you to identify and recognize your behavior in terms of the unique AD/HD challenges
- Keep tabs on you
- Understand
“I met Nancy Snell at a health fair sponsored by my employer. I was ready to realize my dreams and just didn’t know how.
Nancy's style, skills and ability helped me narrow down tasks and focus on what I could accomplish in the here and now. We developed tools that propelled me (and continue to propel me) to take charge of my future and realize that my dream of owning my own business was very much within my grasp.
The results of coaching with Nancy have been remarkable. I’ve not only changed the direction of my professional life, but have taken real steps towards building a successful home-based business.
If you’re in a rut and have doubts about obtaining your innermost goals, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better professional coach than Nancy. She’ll meet you where you are and guide you to the path that leads to the end of your rainbow.”

Coaching
Works – It Really Does!
Before you know it…you will begin to move beyond the places where you are stopped and transform your intentions into action plans and results.
Nancy works with her clients on many goals; always helping to create and maintain support, external structures, timeframes and strategies, you'll:
- Discover what you want and stay focused long enough to actually get there
- Get chronically organized for a change!
- Overcome inertia
- Understand lack of concentration and mind boggling procrastination
- Address interpersonal difficulties……always feeling like an outsider, chaotic relationships, difficulty reading other people…
- Understanding how effective communication pays high dividends; the ability to make tough decisions and have difficult conversations, finally
- Bridge the frustrating gap between one’s ability and one’s performance
“At long last, working with Nancy as my ADD coach has allowed me to remove the prefix ‘im’ from the word impossible”.
Today my life is solidly on track and I am filled with a renewed sense of hope and optimism that was all but lost to me. I call that priceless!”

How Does Coaching Take Place?
Most individual coaching is done by phone. This is an efficient, cost effective, easy method that enables you to take full advantage of coaching from home or the convenience of your office. In person sessions are available in NYC only.
Why phone coaching?
The field of coaching has embraced virtual technology since inception. It simply makes a lot of sense! First and foremost, coaching over the phone is more congruent with the dynamics of coaching than "on-site" appointments common with therapy, consulting, professional organizing, or other "look-alike" fields: the client is the only expert in the room!
Most CLIENTS prefer phone coaching as well
- They are free to find the best coach for them, rather than the closest coach. For clients who live in areas where there are no trained coaches, that's vital!
- Appointments are easier to work into client's schedules when they don't have to include travel time. They can schedule appointments at times that might be impossible if they had to also factor in travel -- a lunch hour, for example. They can use time they might have spent traveling to prepare for their appointments, before or after the calls themselves.
- Clients also find they are better able to focus on the issues brought up during the call. Not only are they not distracted by thoughts prompted by a new environment and the visual stimulation of another person's appearance and mannerisms, they don't have to put any attention on "visual appropriateness" when you can't see them.
- In almost every other situation "looking appropriate" takes up more energy than most people realize. ADDers use a lot of strategies to help them stay stimulated and focused in private, most of which they have been encouraged to inhibit around others.
- With phone coaching, clients can fidget, pace, doodle, file their nails, drink coffee, eat dinner, and do a wide variety of other things during their coaching appointments, relieved not to have the "I am paying attention!" conversation when they do them
What is the Commitment?
I recommend a 3 month commitment to the coaching process which provides sufficient time for change making initiatives to take root and gain momentum. Following the 3 month period, the coaching can be renewed quarterly or monthly.
Most clients stay with the coaching process beyond this initial commitment. However, if at any time the process is not working for you I also ask that you make a commitment to bring the problem to me directly so that we can discuss the issue(s) and agree about how to proceed.
Making Changes and Resistance
Changes are not made overnight and even the most willing among us experience resistance to the very changes we want to make.
Be aware that this is a process!

How Do We Get Started?
We set up a free 30-minute Collaborative Interview to
discuss the areas of your life or business that you want to
address and what you hope to achieve via coaching.( It is
always time well spent whether we decide to work together or
not).
• Once we do agree to work together, I will send you an Information Packet that includes
everything we need to get started based on the
plan you have selected.
• Our first session is a “Foundation Meeting”. During this
meeting we will delve into the areas of your life or business
that you want to improve. We’ll explore your values and goals,
begin mapping out a strategy, identify potential barriers and
design the coaching relationship that allows me to best serve
you.

“Hiring Nancy Snell as my business coach and consultant was the SMARTEST thing I ever did!
After my first meeting with Nancy, I had clarity and direction and began to move forward. She was brilliant at helping me put things in perspective and developing all of the new checks and balances that were required.
It is one year later and I am still applying all of the tools I learned. Nancy is without question a skilled, caring, smart and extraordinarily effective coach. The investment of time and money has already paid untold dividends (my peace of mind at the top of the list). I don’t know where I would be today if I hadn’t hired her when I did!”
