Chronic stress. ADHD. Long COVID. Anxiety. Menopause. Autoimmune conditions. Nearly 1 in 3 adults is navigating something that actively shapes how their brain works, how they focus, plan, remember, regulate emotion, and sustain energy.
Only 17% will ever tell you.
So when a client doesn’t follow through, goes quiet mid-session, or seems overly anxious or “resistant”, you’re often not seeing what you think you’re seeing. You’re seeing executive function fluctuating. Capacity, not motivation. Cognitive load, not defiance.
And this is the space where coaches have the greatest opportunity to have the most positive impact. When coaches help clients connect to their strengths and reduce the mental load, they elevate their clients’ energy to move forward.
Denice Hinden, PhD, MCC, remembers a recent client with ADHD who was diagnosed during graduate school. As a new member of an organization’s executive team, she was helping her navigate the differences between her new role and her division director role. She was feeling anxious about managing her energy and wearing her executive team hat at two back-to-back conferences she previously attended in a different role. Instead of making this about what was getting in the way, they explored assumptions about participating. It was calming and opened the door to the question, “what options might be available to you?” Ultimately, the ideas she implemented worked, and we’ve made the question one we talk about in this webinar. This is what happens when you widen what you pay attention to in your coaching; you stop mistaking capacity for character, and you start meeting the client who’s actually in the room.
Planning, focus, and follow-through fluctuate more than we assume and that changes how we coach accountability.
Motivation and capacity aren’t the same thing. Learn to tell the difference before you coach the wrong problem.
A phone functions differently at 20% battery than at 90%. People aren’t much different and energy shifts during a session, not just between them.
Presence is contagious. Clients borrow our calm before they borrow our expertise.
Words like “resistant,” “lazy,” or “disorganized” carry assumptions. We’ll unpack what to notice and what to ask instead.
Knowing your limits, and naming them with compassion, is part of inclusive coaching.
You’ll receive the framework that ties them together: Notice → Discern → Respond. This is what showing up differently as a coach actually requires.

This webinar is designed for coaches, working on their ACC renewal or PCC credentials who are curious about how chronic conditions may impact coaching accountability and client actions.

Coaches who’ve worked with Denice and George
"Denice shows genuine support to bring the best out of my ideas. She listens deeply and beyond what I am saying, expands how I am thinking, to see clearly and come up with specific actions. The biggest shift that I came to be cognizant of as a result of working with Denice is that she considers many aspects of a given theme."
