Why the World Needs Neuro-Informed Coaching: Elaine Taylor-Klaus on Supporting Neurodivergent Minds

Neuro-informed coaching helps leaders and parents support people whose brains work differently, and Elaine Taylor-Klaus makes the case that this shift is overdue. On this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave talk with Taylor-Klaus, co-founder of Impact ADHD, Impact Parents, and the NeuroInformed Institute.

Taylor-Klaus built her career after struggling to find support as a parent of three neurodivergent kids, later discovering her own ADHD diagnosis in her forties. She explains why she estimates a large share of the population experiences neurodivergence at some point, why standard tools like SMART goals fail many people, and why simple workplace accommodations, like access to a quiet room, can change an employee’s performance. She also compares parenting to a decades-long onboarding process, built on the same trust and collaboration that make coaching effective.
