DHS- PCC level is divided into three comprehensive (20- hour) modules, each offering a deep exploration of essential aspects related to ADHD coaching. Through these modules, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the emotional profiles of individuals with ADHD, recognizing the importance of self-awareness as a foundation for self-evaluation and self-regulation. 

By leveraging deep coaching conversations, in line with the ICF coaching competencies and Code of Ethics, you will guide clients to reframe their thoughts and actions, ultimately building efficient action plans and cultivating healthy relationships. 

Join us on this transformative journey, where you will acquire the knowledge, skills, and tools to support individuals with ADHD in developing a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle, become a Professional Certified Coach, and an Emotional Intelligence Coach Practitioner.

Behavioural sustainable change is only possible when a person can examine and understand everything related to his existence: starting from his feelings and automatic thoughts moving to analysing his surroundings and the cultural context he lives in. Professional coaches seeking transformative changes in their clients’ lives must trigger their curiosity to know more about themselves and empower them to move out of their comfort zone allowing themselves a shift in perspective. 

This program will walk the participants through Dr. Shaaban’s research based “D.E.C.I.S.I.O.N” Integrative Therapeutic approach to AD/HD using the “D.E.C.I.S.I.O.N- D.E.A.R 2 M.E” transformative Coaching Model- which emphasize the four empowerment cycles- the ‘AASA’: Acceptance, Awareness, Strategizing and Accountability that abides to the ICF definition and PCC competencies. 

Together with many other coaching models and research based coaching tools and exercises, this coach specific training program aims at supporting the ACC coaches to move forward in their professional career and fulfil the PCC requirements. 

By using point of performance scenarios, professional coaches will be able to empower individuals with ADHD, emotional dysregulation, executive skills deficit, and behavioural problems to understand their own unique set of strengths while learning to navigate their weaknesses and promoting self-acceptance and self- awareness which are considered the corner stones for self-Management, self-Motivation, and adaptability. 

Considering that coaching goals are met when individuals are internally motivated to achieve their desired outcomes and commit to the actionable goals they set, professional coaches will dig deeper to support their clients in generating the awareness needed to figure out their hidden emotions and the automatic thoughts that are dictating their behaviors. 

Professional coaches will be able to use the ‘DHS: D.E.C.I.S.I.O.N_ D.E.A.R 2 M.E’ Transformational Coaching model to support their clients while assessing their environments, exploring their thoughts and the hidden emotions behind them to reframe them and identify their lagging skills. Consequently, assisting them in using the social emotional skills needed to define their unsolved problems, and build action plans that keep their dysregulation under check resulting in adopting a new set of positive behavior.
