Meet Coach Brianna
Hi! I’m Brianna Greaves, a certified professional ADHD Coach and educator, passionate about helping people get unstuck and find ways to make their lives easier, more fun, and more rewarding. With over 15 years of experience in education and social services, I combine my expertise as a college professor and group facilitator with certified ADHD coach training to offer a supportive coaching experience for people from all walks of life.
Background and Credentials
As a certified ADHD coach, I trained at ADDCA, an ICF-accredited program that focuses on evidence-based coaching strategies for individuals with ADHD. I also hold a degree in Education from the University of Toronto, which enhances my understanding of how to support individuals and groups with diverse learning needs.
In addition to coaching, I am also a college faculty member at George Brown College, where I support students facing barriers to education related to ADHD, addiction, and/or mental health challenges. Prior to this, I spent over a decade in social service work, training service provider teams to create more supportive and accessible environments for those accessing services. As a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, I genuinely believe in creating a world where everyone can be their authentic selves and share their unique gifts. I’m passionate about cultivating collaborative group spaces that foster real connections, growth, and a true sense of belonging.
My Journey to ADHD Coaching
Throughout my life, I’ve navigated a confusing paradox: at times, I was unstoppable, earning top grades, winning awards and getting dream jobs; other times, I struggled with organization and made careless mistakes. This left me feeling like a disappointment, trapped in perfectionism and afraid to try new things unless I could excel immediately. In my early-30s, I discovered I had ADHD, which felt like finally seeing myself clearly. I realized I wasn’t lazy; I just have a brain that, depending on certain conditions, can either get totally stuck and stalled, or can be like a powerful turbo engine. I became driven to understand just what these certain conditions are that could change my ADHD from being what felt like a curse to being one of my greatest gifts.
Driven by this realization, I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about ADHD, training at the ADD Coaching Academy (ADDCA), one of the leading international training programs in the field. This education deepened my knowledge of ADHD, from its neurological characteristics to the practical strategies that empower individuals to thrive. Through this deep learning, combined with mentorship from master coaches, many hours of one-on-one adult coaching, and teaching hundreds of college students with ADHD, I have come to develop an ever-deepening understanding of ADHD and how it shows up in our day-to-day lives. Every person is unique, but there are patterns to how ADHD works, how it can sometimes get in our way, and how it can sometimes help us get ahead. Coaching my clients often feels like watching a pathway get cleared and suddenly they are blasting forward in their lives. Getting to witness this is one of the most rewarding things in the world.
