AuDHD and the Expat Path with ADHD Coach Yann Ghisalberti | Ep 54

Yann Ghisalberti is a French expat and ADHD coach who works with teens and adults in both English and French. Founder of Coach 4 ADHD, Yann shares his deeply personal journey from IT specialist to ADHD coach, shaped by the challenges of expat life, late-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses, and a drive to help others thrive beyond survival mode.

We talk about the effect of living in survival mode for decades and how discovering one’s neurotype can be both a reckoning and a relief. We explore the difference between therapy and coaching, the role of fear in managing impulsivity, and the power of moving from coping to thriving. With elegant clarity, Yann explains how many of his international clients are high-achieving, resilient, and masking deeply ingrained struggles—until the tools that once worked stop working.

Yann’s Story:

• From Tech Industry to ADHD Coach – Yann’s career shift was sparked by burnout, a search for purpose, and the discovery of his own neurodivergence.
  
  
  
• The Often Hidden Side of High Achievement – Many expats operate in constant survival mode, masking ADHD with resilience and fear-driven focus.
  
  
  
• Anxiety As A Strategy – Yann shares how anxiety became his strategy for control—until it no longer served him.
  
  
  
• The lived AuDHD Experience  – Yann describes the internal tension of having both ADHD and autism, and how each side can both help and hinder.
  
  
  
• Coaching vs. Therapy – Therapy helps make sense of the past, but coaching helps create forward motion—both are vital.
  
  
  
• The Iceberg Metaphor – Clients arrive with a problem, but true transformation begins when the hidden layers are revealed.
