Katie Friedman is the director of Gold Mind Neurodiversity. Previously a senior leader in secondary education she is now an ADHD coach, a coach trainer and is someone who through her business, Gold Mind, I have had the privilege of learning from during her neurodiversity in coaching training. I have also had the privilege of being coached by Katie, an experience that has been, and continues to be, life-changing. Katie’s also recently gave a TEDx talk Finding My Gold that is already racking up views and I’m sure will continue to do so.

You can find and connect with Katie on LinkedIn.
