Robin Nordmeyer

ADHD and Executive Functions Coach

With over 15 years of experience transforming the lives of individuals with ADHD, Robin Nordmeyer has built a reputation for helping career-driven professionals and entrepreneurs harness their unique strengths while navigating the complexities of ADHD. Breaking Through Barriers Specialized one-on-one coaching is a powerful tool for overcoming the challenges of ADHD. As awareness of ADHD through adulthood has grown, so has the demand for support and expert guidance to achieve productive, fulfilling careers or to balance complex demands as an entrepreneur. Yet there are barriers to accessibility, such as cost and availability, leaving countless professionals struggling alone. Having navigated her own ADHD journey while building a successful career, Robin brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to each client. Her approach stands out for its focus on leveraging natural ADHD traits and neurodivergent thinking rather than fighting against them. The methodology centers on helping her clients: Build on self-awareness and an understanding of their ADHD Champion strengths in the ways they are wired to succeed Boost executive function and soft skill capabilities to increase performance Shift from self-doubt and limiting beliefs to an actionable growth mindset Address common saboteurs interfering with productivity, like procrastination, perfectionism, and more Create sustainable work-life harmony that cultivates greater wellbeing, joy, and fulfillment Amigo Use Cases Robin envisions two powerful applications of Amigo’s technology. First, as an AI ADHD Coach that can extend her reach beyond the limitations of one-on-one sessions. This digital coach embodies her methodology and experience, providing personalized guidance and support to professionals whenever they need it most – whether that's during a midday productivity challenge or a late-night planning session. The second application focuses on revolutionizing her Productive Days training program. An AI course assistant transforms the learning experience by offering dynamic exercises, personalized discussions, and real-time role-playing scenarios. This means participants won't just learn about ADHD-friendly strategies – they'll actively practice and apply them in ways that match their unique thinking styles and challenges. "Traditional courses often fall short for ADHD learners because they're too rigid and lack in-the-moment support and encouragement to help them stick with it and stay on track. With AI assistance, we can create an improved learning approach adapting to each person's needs and energy levels in real time. The approach leads to better outcomes in engagement and program completion. Creating her Amigo Working closely with Amigo’s team, Robin created her digital twin by: Replicating her empathetic yet action-oriented coaching style Creating dynamic response patterns for common ADHD challenges and concerns Compiling a library consisting of 15 years of proven productivity and focus strategies For her Productive Days program, she worked with Amigo to improve learning outcomes by: Transforming her training experience into an interactive learning environment Designing transformational role-play scenarios to support skill and strategy development Offering real time, 24/7, on-demand support, whenever it is needed Providing support that translates beyond professional life, fostering a holistic approach to living and loving life with ADHD "What excites me most is how the AI can adapt to each person's unique ADHD presentation and learning style. If someone's struggling with time management during their peak creative hours, or needs extra support with project planning when energy is low, the AI will be there with relevant strategies and encouragement." What's Next The potential impact is extraordinary: professionals receiving guided practice for real-world scenarios, entrepreneurs getting just-in-time support as they build their businesses, and course participants experiencing truly personalized learning pathways. It's about making expert ADHD coaching and training accessible and adaptable to each person's unique journey as they need it. Looking ahead, Robin sees these AI tools as catalysts for a broader transformation in how ADHD professionals are supported. "We're not just scaling coaching – we're reimagining how professionals with ADHD can learn, grow, and thrive in their careers. Having this opportunity for employers and individuals impacted by ADHD aligns with my passion and mission to make ADHD Coaching support available to anyone.” Through the power of AI-enhanced coaching and training, she's helping create a future where ADHD professionals don't just survive – they thrive, innovate, and lead, supported by guidance that truly understands their unique way of thinking.’ Visit Robin Nordmeyer’s website to learn more about how AI Coach Robin can be a valued resource to support individuals, as well as employers, with navigating the challenges of ADHD.
