Hi I'm Madeleine P. Côté,
Also know as Coach Maddy an ADHD Expert – Coach – Mentor – Trainer & Speaker
I am the Montreal ADHD Coach who has ADHD.
I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder when I was but 6 years old. I have known about my ADHD almost my entire life. I struggled in school, didn’t understand how to learn and wasted almost every year in summer school. I was labeled a troublemaker and spent so many evenings in despair feeling lost and misunderstood.
My neurologist at the time of diagnosis had told my parents that I would never graduate from high school; never hold a job and be dependent for the rest of my life. Well, he clearly didn’t know a lot about ADHDers because I graduated from high school went on to Marianopolis College and then McGill and Bishop’s University. My background is in psychology, communications and public relations.
I furthered my studies to specialize in my field and graduated from the Advanced ADHD coach training program at the ADD Coach Academy in New York and was then asked to become a trainer in their program.I was also a trainer at the International Coach Training Center (iACTcenter) founded by Laurie Melton Dupar and at Concordia University.
My mission
To help people with ADHD live the lives they have dreamed with passion and strength.
I have been working with teens, adults, couples, parents, families and groups for over 2 decades. I am a coach that is trained in working with the ADHD brain and I am so passionate about my work and the creative, bright people I get to work with as my clients daily.Because I personally have ADHD, I am fortunate in having a unique understanding of the disorder and how it can impact the many aspects of life. I know how we need support and encouragement.
For a long time I have used my Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as a strength, and I will work with you so you can do the same. Can’t wait!
