Casey Dixon, M.S.Ed., PCC, BCC, SCAC
Casey Dixon is intensely focused on building top-tier training, coaching, consulting, and advising experiences for high achievers with ADHD. She created Dixon Life Coaching in response to the grievous lack of understanding and quality services for an often overlooked population… exceptionally-smart, highly-educated, wickedly-talented, overstressed, overworked, overwhelmed, successful-on-the-outside adults with ADHD.
Together with her team of coaches, Casey develops and uses robust coaching models (such as Casey’s own performance model for high achievers with ADHD), coaching programs, courses, and intensives to help high achievers with ADHD get out of perpetual overwhelm and put themselves back in charge of their own lives. With unique programs for knowledge-based professionals who think for a living and have ADHD, Casey specializes in lawyers with ADHD, professors with ADHD, and other smarty pants high achievers struggling to keep their act together. After more than 15 years coaching ADHD clients, Casey knows a lot about high achievers who just happen to have ADHD, and her direct and pragmatic approach suits logical fast-thinking creatives. Casey meets her clients where they are and provides an expansive, safe, judgment-free space to explore what works and what doesn't while developing the tools to rein in their ADHD.
Casey founded Dixon Life Coaching in 2005, a natural progression after a 15-year career supporting students and adults with executive function challenges in schools and universities. With an international reputation for helping clients excel in authentic and innovative ways using ADHD-informed approaches, Casey is an ICF Professional Certified Coach and CCE-Global Board Certified Coach.
Casey offers customized One-to-One coaching programs for very high achieving individuals who have already found success and are looking to master their ADHD to create big changes. She is also available for keynotes, presentations, CLEs/trainings, podcasts, and interviews.

Why do you like working with high achievers who have ADHD?
High achievers with ADHD have a unique experience in life - they have learned how to manage their symptoms enough to get by or even thrive, but it often comes at a huge cost to their well-being. I love helping high achievers make small changes that have a huge positive impact on their work, their relationships, and their life so they can excel in a way that makes them feel more confident, capable, and in control of their life.
Casey's Coaching Style
I work with super-smart folks who can easily get derailed by their ADHD. I have a deep understanding of the point where competence and accomplishment collide with dysregulation and stuckness, and I love helping clients break through that barrier. As a Coach, I listen intensely without judgment, add a logical voice, seek fresh and useful perspectives, and bring the fierce and funny to the coaching experience.
In her coaching work, Casey helps clients to:
-
Gain clarity about what's really going on in an ADHD brain
-
Identify patterns and ways of being that are beneficial and/or sabotaging
-
Find unique and "custom-to-them" approaches to develop new habits
-
Learn how to get more done while working less
-
Eliminate the attention and time they're giving to things that aren't worthy of their attention and time
-
Learn how to work with their ADHD, not against it, and figure out how they can fix their environment to suit who they are so they can be more authentic and natural at work and in life
-
Develop the skills to say no, set boundaries, and eliminate things that don't work for them
-
Use their strengths in ways that will help them become more productive, efficient, and organized
