Kevin Bailey is an ADHD coach, consultant, and learning specialist. He helps ambitious ADHDers avoid burnout, manage overwhelm, and start finishing things.

​

As an ADHDer himself, Kevin knows all about the real struggles of trying to tame a hyperactive mind. He understands having ADHD can often feel like playing life on hard mode. His own painful experiences with burnout and overwhelm have helped him embrace a lifestyle of self-acceptance, compassion, and courage.

Before ADHD coaching, Kevin spent over 8 years as a talent development consultant specializing in learning & development, change management, design thinking, and diversity equity & inclusion. He developed training courses, led workshops, and developed strategic plans to improve the lives of employees.  

Kevin is passionate about teaching ADHDers how to work with their brains. Over the past decade, Kevin has studied the scientific literature on ADHD and its impact on adults throughout their lifetime. In his previous consulting role, he helped leaders and employees both understand and design more inclusive workspaces for their neurodivergent employees.

He now enjoys working with ADHD individuals through 1:1 coaching. He believes life is more fulfilling once we stop trying to prove our own worth. Instead, he encourages ADHDers to see their intrinsic worth, and tap into their strengths to build a more meaningful and ADHD-friendly life

ADHD-Certified Executive Administrative Assistant

Headshot2022 2.0.jpg

Shayna Lukowski is a virtual assistant for Elle O'Flaherty,

who began working with Elle after being put in touch

through a VA agency that specializes in matching

people with ADHD to virtual assistants who understand

the struggles that neurodivergent people face.

 

Shayna began her career as a Virtual Assistant following her graduation from Southern New Hampshire University with an Associates in Marketing. A childhood of undiagnosed ADHD/autism, art, music, and

theater left Shayna with a drive to assist with tasks like ad sales, event planning and management,

stage management and acting, and set design, which has lead to a lifelong love of art and design.

Virtual Assisting has allowed her to put her skills to use to help other ADHD entrepreneurs get organized and thrive, and she has been present in the online entrepreneur community for over 10 years. She has found the most success in working with coaches, and has had a hand in everything from web design to calendar management and client scheduling.

 

Shayna is an online entrepreneur herself, creating handmade paint for artists, making dice jewelry to support her love of D&D, learning digital painting, graphic design, and any other art project that catches her hyperfocus. She has lived in several different states but currently lives with her husband and

Shih-poo Ellie in Tampa, Florida.
