Program Elements
learning modules
Weekly asynchronous lessons employ a variety of formats to introduce key concepts. These allow each member to make time for learning at their own pace and on their own schedule.
workshop weeks
Workshops take place every other week and provide guided implementation of ideas and tools presented in the lessons. Members will work through the process of building individual systems together.
Weekly Reviews & Discussion board
Self-guided weekly reviews establish a potential long-term habit that helps members recognize and celebrate progress while refining their strategies, and the discussion board provides both support and accountability.
Coaching sessions
Group coaching encourages reflection, insight, and integration, all critical elements in cementing change and growth. The group environment serves to normalize our experiences and inspire even greater self-awareness.
All groups start with a free discovery call.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
The program runs eight weeks, and participants should expect to commit 1-2 hours per week in asynchronous time and 1 hour per week to the group meetings.
The specific meeting times for the group will be based on mutual availability and set before the group begins. Sometimes with varying schedules, it can be difficult to find a great time for everyone, but we will do our best. I also keep group sizes limited, which helps with this issue. If the group agrees, I am happy to record missed workshops for members who cannot attend, but I typically do not share recorded coaching sessions.
-
Group size is limited to no more than six to eight participants, and I’m happy to run groups as small as three. We need enough people to make a group, but not so many as to make logistics and participation difficult.
As for participating, I am very aware that I am running a group to support neurodiverse individuals. I realize that not everyone likes to participate at all, and not everyone likes to participate all the time. I don’t require participation, but the experience will be much more effective if you choose to do so. At the beginning, we will set group expectations (like respect for the speaker, confidentiality, etc.) to establish a safe environment for all members, which hopefully helps everyone to be more comfortable. If you really do have difficulty sharing in a group environment, I’d recommend individual coaching instead.
-
Although there are typical topics that are likely to be covered, like time management or sleep and personal wellness, the specific topics will be chosen by the group. As the group forms, each member fills out a survey. I take those responses and pull the common threads together into a curriculum specific to that group.
-
Lessons consist of a variety of materials including potentially podcasts, articles, and visuals that I’ve created along with links to other materials from online sources that support the learning for that lesson. The variation of formats is intended to help everyone stay engaged and to break the learning up into smaller chunks if that’s easier. Members can do a little bit each day, or sit down over an hour and knock out the whole week. Additionally, depending on the specific topics and needs of the group, I may also provide worksheets and other supports for application.
-
Workshop weeks are meant to be our hands-on working time. What exactly this looks like will be determined by the group needs and the material we are covering for that week. It could range from working through the steps of building a plan of action to literally reorganizing desks for a better work environment, but the point is to do it together and work out the kinks as we go.
Coaching weeks are discussion based. We’ll always start with a general topic based on what we’re working on, and then we’ll explore what the group wants to focus on. Coaching groups typically have amazing discussions that generate significant insight for participants. Plus, this process of reflecting and exploring helps take the learning and working that we’re already doing and integrate it for the long term.
-
For any type of personal growth, a weekly review is one of the best practices you can establish to support long-term change, which is why I include it in the program. The weekly review, for the purposes of this group, is a guided process of routinely checking how your week has gone, noticing what’s working well and what challenges you’ve had, and making plans for the upcoming week. You can complete it whenever it is convenient for you, preferably at around the same time each week. I provide both a long and a short form to give you options to best fit your needs. There will be materials to walk you through your weekly review, though in time, you may prefer to shift into your own process.
-
Well, there are options. We’ll connect as a group to see what members are thinking as we near the end.
If the group wants to continue as a coaching workgroup, we can give everyone a short break and then reconvene with new topics to keep the process going.
The group may also wish to continue as a coaching group only to keep the growth and accountability aspects of the group, but reducing the time commitment.
Some members may choose to jump into an individual coaching series to keep their process going, but focus only on their personal needs.
Some members may be done for now, and that’s totally fine as well.
-
The short answer is that sometimes that happens and I totally understand. I’m happy to provide a prorated refund for whatever portion you do not attend.
However, this group belongs to the group. The group determines everything from meeting times to topics covered and what happens when the group finishes. When group members come in committed and stay for the length of the journey, the group functions much more effectively and therefore better supports the growth of all the individual members. So, no one expects you to predict the future, and everyone understands if something happens that requires you to leave the group. But please consider before joining if you feel that you are likely to be able to complete the eight weeks at this time.
Generally, groups go pretty well most of the time, but if you find at any point that you are having difficulty with the group itself, please let me know so that it can be addressed. This group is meant to support you and not to create stress in your life, so please let me help if you run into any difficulty—before deciding to leave the group.
