Why Teachers Make Great ADHD Coaches

Former teachers bring something powerful into ADHD coaching—deep empathy, practical strategy, and the ability to translate complex executive function skills into real-life change.

In this episode, Janine VanStee talks with Kate Sage, founder of Sage EF Coaching, about the natural overlap between teaching and ADHD coaching. They discuss how understanding executive function helps both educators and adults with ADHD develop self-trust, create sustainable systems, and learn to adapt instead of trying to “fix” themselves.

If you're a teacher curious about ADHD coaching, or you want to understand how executive function affects learning, working, and daily life—this conversation will hit home.
