Kevin Bailey, CTACC
Executive, ADHD, & Career Coach
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
