The Disorganized Mind Coaching Your ADHD

Many of the millions of adults diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder live in turmoil, but Nancy Ratey knows it doesn't have to be that way. As an ADHD coach and expert who has the condition herself, she understands the challenges faced by adults with ADHD from both a personal and professional perspective. The Disorganized Mind addresses the traits that often go hand in hand with ADHD, such as inattention, time mismanagement, procrastination, impulsivity, and distractibility, and effectively shows readers how to turn these behaviors around.

Nancy A. Ratey, Ed.M., MCC, SCAC, is a Strategic Life Coach who specializes in coaching professionals with ADHD. She earned her Masters Degree in Administration, Planning, and Social Policy from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and is certified as a Master Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation and a Senior Certified Coach by The Institute for the Advancement of ADHD Coaching. In addition to her private coaching practice, she lectures at conferences and symposiums worldwide, and writes on the subject of ADHD. As one of the founders of the ADHD Coaching field, Nancy is internationally recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the topic. Her work has been featured in The NY Times, News Day, Wired, Vogue; on ABC, CBS and NPR.

Nancy currently practices in Wellesley, MA, where she resides with her husband, Dr. John Ratey.
