This group has absolutely been one of the best things to happen to me when it comes to living with ADHD. During the work sprints, having friends cheer you on is a great motivator. Whether its a little win or a big win, everyone is supportive. Nobody is made to feel ashamed.Being around people with similar struggles has made me feel less alone. Through our conversations, Ive learned ways to be kinder to myself. Having a group of people to work alongside - who relate to me - is of inestimable value. I think we gain so much personal insight from each other. Together we process a lot of the negative messages we get from the world and we work through the some really hard emotions.Adam is a great facilitator - in a way hes our coach. He helps us articulate what our next task is going to be, and lets us reflect on how each work sprint went. During discussions, he makes sure we all feel heard. He is a truly kind person who has created a safe space for us to be - and understand - ourselves.Im forever grateful for this group of friends who support each other in a world that isnt very tolerant of our difficulties.

Adam is the best! He is kind and compassionate and has created a wonderful, inviting atmosphere. The sessions are super helpful because they are part co-working, part ADHD support group. I love that you can check out the free Wednesday sessions to see if its a good fit before committing to the paid membership. Everyone in the group is so kind and as someone who works from home, its such a nice part of my day to chat and co-work with familiar faces who can relate to me.

One on one coaching with Adam and participating in co- working sessions has beenA Game Changer for me! My productivity and organizational skills has improved dramatically. The co-working groups are wise, supportive and thoughtful. Adam has the unique ability to coach specific adhd tools and tips and while continually supporting me in discovering and pursuing my life’s purpose.

I found the ADHD Collective through a Google search during a day when I felt frustrated and tripped up by my ADHD - no regrets. Adam is a fantastic facilitator: he’s reliable, compassionate and has an easy sense of humour that helps put people at ease. It feels great to both be amidst a group who ‘gets it’ and to belong to daily weekday co-working sessions which has significantly removed the feeling of loneliness out of working solo from home. Highly recommend giving Adam and the group a go… ’Rock on’.

Really enjoyed the ADHD Collective co-working experience. Adam moderates it with great energy and compassion, and efficiency, and the group is wonderful, with terrific insights. It set me up to be really productive! I definitely recommend it.

Ive been attending the co-working sessions for about 2 years now and I really cant say enough good things about them. Ive been dealing with my ADHD for a very long time and Ive been in other groups but I can say without hesitation that Adam takes the co-working experience to a whole new level. He sets a tone of exploration and discovery that validates peoples experience, shining light on winning strategies. He never sets himself up as the expert, but always as a fellow traveler on what can be a daunting path for most if not all neurodivergent brainiacs. It continues to be a weekly lifeline for me, and my life and relationships are the better for it!

I joined the ADHD collective after testing it out for two of the free Wednesday sessions (check the site and try it out, fr) because my thought at the end of the first one was-- I WISH I COULD DO THIS EVERYDAY. Ive been working this way now for about a year and a half, showing up probably 90% of the days, and I dont know how to say this emphatically enough- my life is so much better, truly night and day different than it was before finding the group. If youve got ADHD and are struggling, try the Wednesday group, its totally free and many folks just come on those days. The monthly cost is super reasonable, and for me as a freelancer has more than paid for itself because I can actually get great work done and make more money. I was diagnosed at 5, but hadnt had support until a couple of years ago, and this group has been life changing. There is something really magical that happens in these zoom rooms.

Adams group changed the trajectory of a very challenging and painful year for me. I was really burnt out, lost, and honestly feeling like a zombie. There was so much going on in my life and I was having a hard time handling it. Adam and the ADHD collective community embraced me with open arms, showed zero signs of judgment, and immediately made me feel like a part of a family. We are all struggling with something and this community truly uplifts, celebrates your uniqueness, and helps you to understand more about yourself in every single meeting. The level of compassion, realness, and empathy is off the charts, so if you need support, this is the place. Im not quite sure where I would be without Adam and the community. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Attended a virtual webinar event and despite being on the other side of the atlantic ocean found it extremely inspirational and insightful into ADHD and the way it manifests itself. Was a profound experience and a very productive one as well. Thanks everyone!

There are so many alternatives out there for coworking, and at first I thought that this would be just like the rest of them. Since I’ve used so many others and didn’t get the outcomes they promised I thought maybe virtual coworking just wasn’t for me.But that’s not the case! When I work in the ADHD Collective coworking group, I’m consistently able to get more things done.And that’s super cool and all, but that’s not even the best part…There are days when I join the coworking calls and I’m NOT able to get stuff done, no matter how hard I try. While that used to be a really difficult thing for me, I don’t actually feel that bad about not being productive anymore. That’s all because Adam is there to celebrate wins (no matter how tiny) and to help navigate those non-productive days, so I don’t feel like a waste of space because I didn’t get things done.Speaking of Adam, having someone as experienced as him to facilitate the experience is really what sets this coworking group apart from the others. The fact that he also has ADHD helps build a sense of community because there’s a shared experience there. He can relate to everyone in the group which leads to better outcomes for everyone, across the board.I could go on and on about this, so I’ll just end with this:If you’re struggling with productivity as an ADHDer, swing by for a session. Working in a supportive environment, even just once, will change the way you view work. (and you’ll want to keep coming back!)

The free co-working session on Wednesday is really great! The coach Adam sets a really welcoming atmosphere, and the long-time members are kind and give helpful resources. I definitely recommend it!

Adams co-working sessions have been helpful and supportive for focusing on work and for feeling more connected through group-sharing. Ive come away from sessions with new resources for productivity and with new friends which has been delightful. I deeply appreciate you and the work you do, Adam, thanks for being such a fantastic facilitator!

Adam is amazing! I have struggled my whole life with follow through. At the age of 45, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. I needed help with executive functioning and Adams co-working group has changed my life. I have only attended a hand full of sessions, but they are spectacular. They are helpful for so many reasons: 1. I dont feel alone or ashamed any more, 2. I learn new tools every time I participate, 3. I love the accountability, collaboration, and simple format. But the greatest thing about the group is ADAM.Adam also has ADHD so he is extremely empathetic. You can literally see him putting himself in other peoples shoes and looking at things from their perspective. He keeps us on track but he does it in a way that is gentle, respectful, and patient. For someone who has often felt judged by others, this is such a huge relief! He has an amazing ability to put people first and treat them with honor instead of treating them like problems to be fixed.Plus Adam is extremely collaborative and process oriented. He knows that ADHD manifests differently for everyone and what works for one person might not work for someone else. So he isnt handing out one-size-fits-all prescriptions or using this time to stroke his own ego with tales of how he has dealt with his own battles with ADHD. When someone presents an obstacle they are struggling with, he asks intelligent questions to help the person find their own answers. This is an extremely effective technique. He also opens it up to the group. It is so powerful to hear what has worked for other people and it gives the participants a sense of ownership that is lovely.On top of all that, Adam has a wealth of information, experience, and tools that he freely shares. Every time we meet he offers more resources and skill building techniques for us to try. He is constantly providing creative solutions to deal with ADHD issues. I know I can ask anything and together we will figure out something I can try. I dont feel stuck or alone because I know someone knowledgeable is in my corner.And finally, Adam is a natural cheerleader. He genuinely enjoys seeing other people succeed. And he takes time to acknowledge even the tiniest victories. When learning new skills that is extremely empowering. I usually leave the group feeling like a superstar even though I just paid a few bills. 😄Adam is an extremely gifted coach. His empathetic, collaborative, empowering approach is so rare. We need more of this in the world. I would recommend this group to anyone.

Transformative experience. Time expands and space shrinks (in a good way), as focus is gained.

The co-working session was great! I moved through things I’ve been avoiding for well over a year! It was a life-saver when I couldn’t get myself to do my taxes! Adam’s upbeat, friendly energy keeps me going! I learn something helpful each session I attend.

Adam has been hosting coworking sessions during COVID. I have found them insanely helpful for tackling tedious work that I have been avoiding or that always seems to get pushed to the next days to-do list. Adam is very good at encouraging us to break work down into actionable, realistic chunks and I always leave feeling accomplished, rather than my usual defeated feeling. It is also pretty awesome to be supported by other people in the group who get. you., a feeling that is hard to come by as a person with ADHD. Highly recommend you try a coworking session with us!

The ADHD Collective (Collective) is an assemblage of unique individuals led by Adam Muller, who is at the center of the Collective. He is an amazing ADHD Coach. The work is based on the Pomodoro technique, which is just 25 minutes of working, taking a break, working another 25 minutes, and so on.Pomodoro meetings can be found all over the Internet, or an individual can use the system to set up their own 25-minute Pomodoro, but what makes the ADHD Collective different, first, is Adam Muller. He is kind, supportive, encouraging, mild-mannered, extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, and he is so very helpful in guiding each of us 25 minutes at a time.Adam makes this group a tremendous benefit for many of us. Although Adam leads other groups during the week, I work only in the Wednesday sessions. Wednesdays are my anti-procrastination days, so the importance of meeting on that day of the week is not lost on me.I look forward to meeting with Adam and this group every week. Even when I have a conflict of another support group, I will skip that one and attend Adams group. I cannot imagine getting as much work done in any other way.After three periods of Pomodoro, Adam hits record and we then discuss ADHD, techniques we have learned, research we have read, share with each other the importance of being good to ourselves and each other, how we were challenged and worked our way through or the support we found, and ask for suggestions if any of us needs help with a particularly difficult situation.I do not know how I would function so effectively in any other group. Being diagnosed almost exactly one year ago, I have a lot to learn. Adam began this virtual group after the pandemic hit, and I pray he continues it for as long as he can. Without the ADHD Collective, I would be floundering out there, not having anyone to speak with or work with... and with a lot fewer friends.Anyone who gives the Collective a try speaks highly of the environment. And that environment comes from Adam. I encourage any person with ADHD who needs to get a hit of productivity to contact Adam and meet with us on Wednesdays (or any day that fits your schedule), and you will see why many of us keep coming back for butter on a hot muffin.

Adam is a man of extraordinary kindness, he is genuinely committed to helping ADHD-ers achieve their fullest potential. He is an excellent facilitator of group sessions and is able to help people help share experiences and learn from each others tactics. I recommend everyone to try his services in some capacity,

I cannot express how grateful I am for the experience I am and how worth the time and money it was to go to the ADHD Collective. If youre thinking of going, just give them a call...which might take you 3 weeks if you have ADHD, but eventually youll get there.I was not in a good place when I started at ADHD Collective. I began my sessions Adam around June of last year, before I was even positive that I had ADHD. He helped me get through it all. I have since been officially diagnosed, become employed, and I have set up many mechanisms to keep my self esteem up while being more productive.I have nothing but good things to say about them. They have been kind, understanding, helpful, while never seeming disingenuous. My sessions with Adam seriously helped me get more productive, track my goals (not to mention figure them out...), while reducing my anxiety.I plan on going again when I am able, but unfortunately (thankfully?) I am too busy with my new job right now. I would recommend them to anyone.

This review is long overdue. Melissa was absolutely key in my ability to learn to manage ADHD after being diagnosed as an adult. She helped me find a doctor when I had no insurance. She helped me be at peace with the decisions I had made to put a lot of my life on hold to take care of my mental and physical health. She helped me figure out huge life altering questions about my career, my relationships, my living situation, my spiritual goals, my emotional life, my weight loss and wellness journey. She helped me set goals, stay on track, and develop an internal voice that guides me forward when I am stuck, unmotivated, and feeling helpless.I can say with confidence that there is not an area of my life that was not impacted and improved because of my time working with Melissa, and for that I am sincerely grateful. Long after my regular sessions with her have ended, we still keep in touch because she truly cares about my progress and how I am coping (and Im positive I will at some point book another set of sessions with her). While she maintained professional boundaries she also provided a level of personal care that helped on a totally different level. I cant say that for any other health care provider that I have encountered. Though I never had sessions one on one with Adam, I worked with him a couple times, and I can only say good things about him as well. They make an awesome team, and they give everything to their clients. I cant recommend them enough.

When I first met Adam, I felt frazzled and overwhelmed most days. I had a long list of goals that I wanted to accomplish but wasn’t making progress on them. I struggled with looking at my bills and avoided looking carefully at my financial situation. I’m embarrassed to admit I dodged reading my mail and would let it pile on my desk for weeks. I also struggled to plan my meals and incorporate an exercise routine into my life.Adam helped me create habits and lifestyle changes that have improved my life tremendously. Every session began with an update on my life. During the first few sessions we looked at my skills and interests. We figured out what about my current approach wasn’t working. We then tried different approaches until I was able to sustain them over long periods of time. Now they are habits I am proud of. I have paid off my student loans, I’m eating healthier and exercising regularly.Adam offered lots of insight into my situation. He also had lots of ideas and tools to make life more manageable. He was able to help me see things I could not see. He really put things into perspective for me when I needed that. He is very kind and understanding. I always felt he had my back and genuinely wanted what was best for me.Now I don’t feel overwhelmed anymore. I procrastinate less and I’m better able to manage my time and my To-Do list. I am very grateful for all of Adam’s help and would encourage anyone who struggles with ADHD to consider Adam and the ADHD Collective. It changed my life and I know it can help you too.

Adam was enormously kind and generous with my 20 year old son who just learned about his learning issues. We are very grateful for his humor and sensitivity and recommend the Collective as an excellent resource. Thank you again for your support and expertise.

I participated in a group Pomodoro meetup hosted and managed by Adam. He is kind, non-judgmental, and keeps the group on task with encouragement and solid ideas for moving forward. If youre looking for someone who will help you find techniques and tools for managing your time and space with ADHD, I highly recommend talking to him!

It has been wonderful to hear from other individuals who also struggle with ADHD. I was diagnosed late, and I grew up thinking that I was different, lazy, airheaded, ditzy, etc.. It is good to hear that I am not alone and to get insights from others who share the same struggles as me.
