A downloadable report
Your results come with a personalized report and practical next steps to review.
See what needs attention, and what to do next
Your results will help you:
Identify your main area of attention
See whether the greatest source of friction is connected to your career alignment, executive function at work or professional presence.
Understand what may be costing you
Recognize where you may be relying on urgency, masking or over-functioning to maintain your performance.
Clarify what you want to change
Use your results to consider what you would like to be different, then choose a useful next step: from self-directed resources to a conversation about whether coaching may be right for you.
You’ll also receive a downloadable report so you can review your results in more detail.
When you’re performing, the cost can be easy to miss
You may still be meeting deadlines, solving problems and being relied on by others. At the same time, administrative work may be piling up, recovery may be taking longer, or the systems that once worked may no longer be enough for the demands of your role.
The source of the friction is not always obvious. It may be connected to the fit between you and your work, the way you plan and follow through, or the energy going into communication, visibility and masking.
The Coaching Fit Assessment separates these areas so you can see where your attention may have the greatest value right now.
It was created for professionals with ADHD at every career stage: from experienced individual contributors and people leaders to business owners, executives and professionals navigating a transition.
Three areas that shape how work is feeling right now
Career Alignment
How well your role, work environment and career direction fit the way you think, work and contribute.
This includes whether your work uses your strengths, whether you have enough influence over your workload and whether your current path feels sustainable.
Executive Function Impact
How effectively your current systems support the day-to-day realities of your work.
This includes starting and completing lower-stimulation work, estimating time, planning, sustaining focus and managing the impact of fast-paced or high-pressure demands.
Leadership Presence
How you communicate, contribute and manage your energy when expectations or visibility increase.
This includes masking, emotional regulation, speaking up, communicating clearly and making space for higher-value work.
In this assessment, leadership is not limited to managing people. It includes how you influence, communicate and take ownership of your contribution at any career stage.
Coaching Readiness
A short final section helps you reflect on your interest in and capacity for structured support right now.
These responses are used only to shape the next-step options you see. They do not change your main area of attention or your overall result.
Why coaching may be a useful next step
Coaching creates structured time to step back from the immediate demands of work and look more closely at the patterns affecting how you operate.
The work may include examining how your role fits, strengthening the systems you use to plan and follow through, preparing for important conversations, or finding a more sustainable way to manage increasing responsibility.
The Coaching Fit Assessment helps identify where that conversation may need to begin.
Broader research on professional coaching
The ICF Global Coaching Client Study surveyed 2,165 coaching clients across 64 countries. Respondents reported positive changes in several areas relevant to professional development:
These were self-reported changes from people who had experienced coaching, and should be understood as broader coaching evidence rather than ADHD-specific findings.
