Course Details
Empowering Students Through Coaching (ESTC) is an ICF accredited Level 1 program. Our program is a research-based comprehensive coach training program for life coaching and ADHD/neurodiversity coaching. Participants in Empowering Students Through Coaching will explore the JST Coaching Model designed specifically for coaching neurodivergent students. ESTC is the only research-based student & ADHD coach training in the world.
Program includes:

Empowering Students Through Coaching provides a solid foundation in professional life coaching. After you learn and practice the ICF Core Competencies and coaching skills, we will explore the shift to neurodiversity coaching, focusing on co-creating lasting change with people of all ages living with ADHD, ASD, executive function issues, and other related conditions. Each participant is required to secure at least two adult clients for life coaching, by week 4 of class, who are willing to have their coaching sessions audio recorded for the JST ACC mentoring and accreditation process.
Neurodiversity is an integral part of our coach training program. At JST we believe that:
- Embracing neurodiversity in communities, schools, and workplaces makes things more inclusive for everyone.
- Creating a supportive environment for neurodiversity helps us recognize and celebrate each client’s unique strengths and talents.
- Coaching with a neurodiversity perspective strengthens the partnership between coach and client, creating a safe space for growth and success.
