Your Trainers
 Denslow
Brown, CPO-CD, MCC provides the bulk of the ADD Organizing
training to members of the NSGCD. The only person on the planet to
have achieved the highest (master) levels of certification in both
the coaching and organizing fields, she's been an organizer since
1974. Denslow coaches adults with ADD and other organizing challenges,
and is a mentor coach to organizers and coaches who are building or
transforming their businesses. She is a frequent trainer for the NSGCD,
NAPO, ADDA and CHADD. Widely quoted and consulted, she is a leader
in the field. Read more about Denslow
Cam
on Denslow:
“When Denslow asked me to teach this program I jumped at the
chance. She is an innovator in both fields of coaching and organizing.
In the classroom, her abundant knowledge and warmth create an environment
that maximizes the learning process for students and co-leaders alike.
I always learn something when I teach with Denslow.
“It’s a real thrill to be collaborating with her in bringing
the power of coaching to the world of organizing. I see the real value
of coaching not so much as a stand alone entity but more of an adaptable
skill set to plug in to other professions (such as organizing, training
and consulting) where effective communication is paramount. For the
discerning organizer, developing effective coaching skills will certainly
distinguish them from the rest of the field.”
 Cameron
Gott, PCC
is a full time ADD coach who works with professionals who want to
match action with intention. Besides coaching, Cameron mentors coaches-in-training
and speaks on a variety of topics including the power of completion.
He took his first coaching training in 1998 and subsequently received
certification through the demanding program at The Coaches Training
Institute. Read
more about Cam
Denslow
on Cam:
"From the first coaching lab Cam and I taught together I realized
that this was a trainer who cared deeply about the learning of each
student and class. He consistently identifies the key next step or
insight that would best serve that training situation. The (non-ADD)
coaching training he went through (at CTI) is the best available,
in my opinion.
"As a husband, an active parent of a young son, and an athlete
(and someone who is not a professional organizer), he brings some
different perspectives from my own which benefit all our students.
Another high-intelligence, high-functioning adult with ADD, we have
a great time teaching together and are able to keep the classes on
track, comprehensive and well-focused."
Denslow
and Cameron have team-trained ADD coaches for over two years
as faculty members of The Optimal Functioning Institute. They are
graduates of OFI's intensive 18-month program in ADD Coaching which
was developed by Madelyn Griffith-Haynie (the inspired inventor of
ADD Coaching). They know their collaboration provides an extraordinary
learning experience for their students.

Background
on The Coaching Module
The coaching profession is newer than the organizing profession, yet
there are many times more coaches than organizers (ICF estimates 50,000).
A coach is more than a cheerleader or a source of expert advice. A
coach provides a powerful and transformative questioning and listening
environment which supports a client's connection with what matters
most to them and the life they want. "The Coach Approach for
Organizers" will give you the tools to empower a client to cut
through indecision, over-saving and too many priorities.

Background
on The ADD Organizing Module
Roughly 5-8% of the American population (approximately 10 million
adults) have Attention Deficit Disorder according to Dr. Edward Hallowell
and NIMH surveys. Only 15% have been diagnosed. Since one of the primary
indicators of ADD is disorganization, people with ADD likely make
up a significant portion of every organizer's client population --
and we and they only rarely know they are struggling with it. Perhaps
this is why veteran organizer Denslow Brown has observed over the
last eight years that ADD organizing and coaching strategies make
her more effective with 100% of her clients, ADD or not.

Background
on The ADD Coaching Module
Denslow writes: "In the early 1990's I was frustrated in my organizing
work – by the experience of being a "Drive-by Organizer"
(described at the top of this page). I left happy clients knowing
that the beautiful order we had created was peaking right at that
moment, and was likely to never be consistently used as the client
and I had fantasized. I knew this, of course, because of the eventual
phone call to reorganize the same area a month or year later. I searched
for an answer to this problem in various professional areas and found
the most profound and on-target answers in the world of ADD Coaching.
That expertise, combined with the organizing skills I'd developed
in NAPO, NSGCD and on-site with my clients, has provided me with a
fascinating and lucrative shift in my business, and a remarkable and
strong new relationship with my clients, their lives and their new-found
organization."
