WHY THE WAITLIST MATTERS
The July 26 Cohort Filled in 8 Days. Don't Miss October 4.
Here's what happened:
- 20 spots available
- Early Bird pricing opened
- 8 days later → enrollment closed (cohort full)
The October 4 cohort will follow the same pattern.
The difference? Waitlist members get first access—before the public announcement, before Early Bird opens to everyone else, before spots disappear.

Why Limited to 20 Participants?
This is cohort-based certification with live teaching, Q&A, and peer feedback.
More than 20 people? Quality drops. Attention dilutes. Cohort dynamic weakens.
We cap it every time.

WHAT YOU'RE JOINING
What's Included in the October 4 Cohort
This isn't a certification where you pay, attend, and get a certificate. You get certified because you proved you can do the work.
The Diagnostic Framework
Learn to identify where EF breakdowns actually happen—not just generic "ADHD struggles." Then apply targeted interventions that fit the specific breakdown, not one-size-fits-all strategies.

NOT READY YET?
If You're Still Deciding Whether
Certification Is Right
The waitlist is for people serious about joining October 4, they just want priority access.
If you're still exploring, start here:

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Three-part foundation: administrative setup, boundaries, and systems that separate professional coaches from wellness influencers with tips
Business structure decision (LLC vs sole proprietorship) and why liability protection matters more than you think when working with vulnerable populations
Client contracts and informed consent templates that clarify scope, protect both parties, and set expectations from day one
Three types of boundaries (professionalism, support, availability) and exact scripts for setting them without sounding harsh or cold to clients
Tech setup without over-tooling: the CRM, invoicing, and scheduling combination that actually works (and which tools to skip entirely)
Billing and invoicing systems that prevent the "chasing money" trap and keep cash flow predictable without awkward payment conversations
When coaching crosses into therapy territory and how to recognize scope creep before you're operating outside your training
Investment:
$97
Format:
Live Thursdays 6:00 PM EST (recordings included, lifetime access)
Bonus:
Administrative Foundations Checklist
Priority:
Masterclass attendees get early notification about certification cohorts
After the masterclass, you'll know whether you want to:
→ Build your practice independently with the administrative foundation
OR
→ Join certification for the full method: diagnostic framework, ready-to-run lesson plans,
If it's the latter, then join the waitlist.
