Meet Coach Carlene

An Executive, Life & ADHD Coach
ready to serve your
professional and personal needs.

Entrepreneur. Coach. Leader. I never imagined holding these roles. My lifelong fascination with what makes people tick and the power of personal growth overruled my introversion, driving me out of my comfort zone to build a business.

I started off college as a journalism major and graduated with a finance degree. I had amazing corporate jobs, amazing colleagues!

Then, coaching found me after a couple family members were diagnosed with ADHD. Desperate to help them, I took several classes on ADHD and found life coaching to be a game changer for ADHD treatment. Throughout my coach training and certification, I discovered coaching came naturally to me. Here I am all these years later, doing something I didn’t even know existed 20 years ago – Life Coaching and ADHD.

I found so many ADHD’ers are creative entrepreneurs and small business owners. I’m known for being a life-long learner, for being honest and authentic. And with that, it was a no-brainer for me to complete training in Executive Coaching to better support my clients.

Professionally I describe myself as an Executive, Life and ADHD Coach.

I bring to my coaching work extensive corporate experience in Finance and Supply Chain at McDonald’s Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Unocal, and Household Finance.

I am a featured expert in U.S. News and World Report and a contributing author to the best-selling books, “Inspirational Ways to Succeed with ADHD”and “Wacky Ways to Succeed with ADHD.”

What I love about what I do is that I help people every day bring various aspects of their lives together – helping them develop strategies, crush self-doubt, and work towards their goals both personally and professionally.

As an empath and a certified Social & Emotional Intelligence Coach (EQ) I know that soft skills are the differentiator in being an effective leader.

Beyond 1:1 coaching I’ve expanded my services to reach more people & organizations through group & team coaching and on-line courses.

While journalism and the news media were not for me, I’ve kept my love of writing alive through my blog.

In my spare time, I indulge in singing at the top of my lungs at country music concerts with family and friends. Yes, I loved country music long before it was cool to love country music. I can’t get enough of my beautiful Shetland Sheepdogs. I was lucky enough to have 3 of them for several years. And, I long for more days at the ocean, kicked back with a good book.
