Who I am
Ivan Pope PhD
I specialise in coaching artists, writers and entrepreneurs and other people who have a creative life.
I believe that self-awareness is key to changing things and that recognising the patterns, big and small, of your life, is the starting point for that change.
Am I qualified to coach you?
My training and certification come from ADHD Works
My understanding of ADHD from extensive reading and research
My lifetime experience of living as a person with undiagnosed ADHD
The epiphany I had that ADHD might explain my life and its ups and downs
The realisation that most of my friends and colleagues over the years displayed attributes of ADHD
My academic research into the relationship between creativity and ADHD
My lifetime experience of being an artist, a writer and an entrepreneur.
My realisation while researching and writing my PhD that ADHD might explain the entire thing.
I bring a lot more to my coaching than my training – I bring a lifetime and I bring self-awareness.
