Awards & Recognitions

When DIG Coaching Practice began offering coaching services in 2007, the conventional path to building name recognition was straightforward: write a book, start a blog, and establish a presence through publishing. However, writing was not a strength, so DIG Coaching took a different route.

Instead, DIG Coaching launched a podcast, Attention Talk Radio, following later by Attention Talk Video on YouTube. What began as an alternative to writing quietly became something much bigger: a platform for building relationships, sharing ideas, and contributing to the emerging field of ADHD coaching.

  • At a time when the ADHD coaching field was still fighting for legitimacy, the podcast gave DIG Coaching access to leading voices in ADHD and mental health. By inviting prominent experts to share their knowledge, DIG Coaching was able to build relationships not otherwise possible through traditional marketing and brought their ideas directly to its audience.

Over time, that work expanded its reach and influence so that internationally recognized experts like Dr. Russell Barkley were brought on board as guests. Connections were established with organizations such as Sesame Street. This work resulted in invitations for Jeff Copper to participate on editorial and advisory boards, including Attention magazine’s editorial advisory board. This led to Jeff subsequently being invited to serve as a charter board member of the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC), further connecting DIG Coaching to the development and professionalization of the ADHD coaching field.

Further, DIG Coaching’s influence extended beyond media, and Jeff engineered a social meeting in Northern Virginia with the heads of ADDA, ACO, and CHADD. That gathering resulted in the unification of conferences that is now the Annual International ADHD Conference. This and other spheres of influence on the development of ADHD coaching as an industry resulted in Jeff Copper being honored with ADHD Coaches Professional Excellence Award and later a voice on the Steering Committee of an ADHD lobbying organization.

What began as an alternative to writing became a platform that built credibility in a fundamentally different way.  DIG Coaching did not build its reputation following the expected marketing playbook or by what business books said should work. It built credibility through reputation, relationships, contribution, and participation… by becoming part of the conversations that shaped the field.

DIG Coaching did not set out to manufacture credibility. It earned it by doing the work, sharing what it was learning, building meaningful relationships, and contributing to the evolution of ADHD coaching. That distinction is central to the DIG Coaching story. The path was not about following the conventional playbook. It was about creating a path that fit the way DIG Coaching actually worked, engineering an approach that fits, evidencing the philosophy behind DIG Coaching Practice.
