Janine Wright-Giustizia
ADHD Life Coach, Thrive ADHD Coaching Canada
As a Professional Certified ADHD Coach (PAAC) and Professional Certified Coach (ICF) with over 17 years of experience, I specialize in supporting busy people with complex lives to manage their ADHD and executive function challenges both at work and at home.
As an Executive Function Specialist, I help clients build ADHD-friendly systems and structures that improve organization, address time-blindness, and enhance accountability. Beyond strategies, I support clients in becoming more of who they want to BE. Through deep listening, I shine a light on the blind spots that get them stuck, and bring awareness to the internal patterns and self-talk that can undermine progress.
My approach is informed by specialized training in the Positive Intelligence model and The Empowerment Dynamic model (TED), which guide my approach to addressing emotional regulation challenges, offering valuable tools to build positive relationships skills.
Grounded in a strong understanding of the neuroscience of ADHD and executive function, I help clients untangle the obstacles they face and reconnect with their strengths and values. Together, we develop practical strategies and supportive structures that enhance productivity, build self-trust, increase motivation and move them toward meaningful goals.
