The potential of ADHD academics

ADHD academics have the potential to raise your university’s profile and strengthen your reputation. Their (often interdisciplinary) work puts them at the forefront of emerging fields. What’s more, they tend to easily adapt to the changes that are currently sweeping through most academic disciplines, allowing them to put or keep your institution on the map.

But with all this potential may also come challenges:

Unfinished projects

They struggle to finish articles, dissertations and book chapters, even when the research is done

Neglected research

They pour all their energy into teaching and service, leaving publication deadlines unmet

Long texts

They produce brilliant work that's too long, too sprawling, or too unstructured to publish in its current form

Low output

ABD and tenure clocks tick while publication lists stay too short, creating anxiety for everyone involved

You know they’re capable. They know they’re capable. But traditional academic writing productivity advice doesn’t work for ADHD brains—and you don’t have time to become an ADHD expert on top of everything else you’re managing.

That’s where I come in.

How I can help

I offer three specialized ADHD writing coaching programs designed specifically for academic contexts through faculty writing support and my work as a PhD writing coach/dissertation coach

Why this matters for your institution

When ADHD academics don’t get proper support, everyone loses:

  • Your tenure success rates suffer as talented faculty fail to meet publication requirements
  • PhD completion times stretch beyond funding windows, hurting both students and your statistics
  • Department rankings slip when promising scholars can’t convert their ideas into publications
  • You lose good people who leave academia entirely, burned out and convinced they’re not cut out for this work

But here’s the truth: ADHD academics absolutely can meet and exceed publication expectations. They just need strategies designed for how their brains actually work.

That’s exactly what my coaching provides—and it works without requiring any time investment from you beyond the initial setup.

What my coaching delivers

I’ve spent five years working exclusively with ADHD writers, with academics (ADHD faculty and PhD candidates) making up over 60% of my practice. I understand both the neurological reality of ADHD and the specific demands of academic writing, dissertation completion, and career progression.

When I work with your ADHD academics, they learn to:

The result: Your institution gains improved publication metrics and retention, while your ADHD academics finally feel capable of delivering on their potential.

Let's help your ADHD academics thrive!

Your ADHD faculty and PhD candidates have the talent and ideas to elevate your institution’s reputation. They can contribute groundbreaking research, define new fields, and become the scholars other departments wish they had.

But they need more than good intentions and deadline reminders. They need an academic writing coach who understands both ADHD brains and academic writing requirements—someone who can teach them the specific strategies and systems that will help them succeed long-term.

I’ve spent five years developing exactly that expertise. Let me work with your ADHD academics so they can focus on their research while you see the results in improved metrics and happier, more productive faculty and PhD candidates.
