TESTIMONIALS
My experience working with Emily has been very rewarding. She provides a caring, compassionate and non-judgmental space where I can freely explore my thoughts. No matter where I go in my head, I feel she is holding my hand because her questions are so insightful and right on point. I always come out with a new perspective that I hadn’t seen before the session and I always feel heard and supported. I greatly appreciate Emily’s gentle encouraging demeanor as I go through this challenging time in my life. - Aki O.
Emily has given me SUCH valuable support – the most effective strategy has been mind mapping. It's been working really, really well and my business doubled its revenue in the last two weeks of July compared to the entire month of June. I finished editing the youtube tutorial and I wrote the script for my second tutorial. Thank you for helping me build a toolbox that works for my brain!!

"Working with Emily was absolutely one of the best things I could have done while going through a period of change and upheaval in my career. She provided not only expertise in how to organize and structure a more supportive environment for me and my unique challenges as a professional with ADHD, but also wisdom and compassion while holding space for some big feelings and hard conversations. Emily is a great coach, and I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone learning how to navigate ADHD and work/life challenges." Amanda A..
I began working with Emily for the more obvious ADHD-related concerns. I had just started my first job after 10 years as a freelancer and needed help with focus, time management, and confidence that I could handle this big new responsibility, while still finding time for my own creative passions. The guidance she’s given me there alone has helped me negotiate several significant raises, set boundaries at work, make steady progress on writing my novel, and just generally boosted my confidence through the roof. What I had not expected was that she would also help me do some deep soul-work. I shared with her some of my greatest fears about my career, relationship, and my life, and she helped me take things that felt like very BIG problems and turn them into small, manageable actions.She has an incredible way of helping me cut through all the brain chatter and dive right into whatever challenge I’m grappling with.In short: WOW. Emily is brilliant and compassionate and funny and wise and someone I feel so grateful to know and have in my corner, rooting for me. -Sarah R.
I am one of Emily Steffian’s success stories. Working with Emily has changed my life in important and practical ways, and my story shows that Wide-Mind Coaching works. Friends often ask me what my practice is, how I discipline myself to write everyday, but I have no discipline and no practice: I’m thinking about my book all the time, and whenever I get a chance, I sit down and write.This effortless flow of ideas and writing seems like a miracle to me, but in fact it isn’t a miracle at all; it’s the natural product of Emily’s sympathetic support and expert coaching.
During weekly phone sessions, Emily helped me to explore the reasons I was so frustrated with my writing, and that lead to conversations about the reasons I was writing at all. I continued to work with Emily and systematically eliminated other stresses in my life, otherthings I was doing that I didn’t enjoy and didn’t have to do. Emily, among her other skills and talents, is a gifted writer and an insightful critic, so now she has become not only my writing coach, but a First Reader for my book. Over the course of my time with Emily I have gone from “I’ll never write again,” to writing a long and complicated book. Thanks, Emily, you have changed my life forever. Mare D.
