David Rickabaugh

As a professional coach, I’m passionate about helping others to identify and accomplish their goals, to be more successful in their careers, and to live happier, more satisfying lives.

My singular purpose for Leading with ADHD is to help leaders and professionals with ADHD (or those who suspect they may have ADHD) identify and leverage their unique superpowers – and manage their challenges – so that they can achieve the personal satisfaction and professional success they desire.

Leading with ADHD is a passion project for me, and I am devoting my private practice to working with leaders and professionals with ADHD, or with those who think they might have ADHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD myself in my 50s, after struggling privately for years and feeling like something wasn’t quite right with my brain. My diagnosis was a revelation to me, and I felt liberated to address my ADHD as a condition separate from “me.” And I’ve spent the last seven years learning about the gifts or “superpowers” ADHD brings us, and about the challenges it presents as well. And I’ve learned how to leverage medication and how I think about my own flavor of ADHD to thrive and succeed.
