ADHD Coach ~ Productivity Expert

Hi, I’m Cena Block, MS, CNC, a Certified ADHD & Neurodiversity Coach and Productivity Expert who specializes in helping high-performing adults strengthen executive functioning and create practical systems that support success at work, at home, and in relationships.

As Founder and CEO of Sane Spaces, LLC, I work with professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, attorneys, and ADHD couples who are often highly capable and accomplished but struggle with challenges such as time blindness, prioritization, procrastination, task initiation, overwhelm, emotional regulation, organization, and follow-through.

My ADHD Coaching Approach

My coaching approach combines ADHD-informed strategies, productivity systems, self-knowledge, accountability, and individualized scaffolding to help clients work with their brains rather than forcing themselves into systems that repeatedly fail.

I am Certified as a Neurodiversity Coach (CNC), and previously as a Productivity Coach (CPC), Organizer Coach (COC), ADHD specialist, productivity consultant, facilitator, and instructional designer. I also the creator of the Time & Space Style Inventory™ (TSSI™), a proprietary assessment that helps individuals understand their natural preferences for managing time, space, organization, and productivity.

Through Sane Spaces, I provide private coaching, group programs, professional training, educational resources, and ADHD-focused tools designed to help capable adults create greater clarity, consistency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

My Journey To Become An ADHD Coach

In 2008 after a break from corporate to raise my young children, I founded SaneSpaces.com. By 2014, I launched the Time & Space Style Inventory™, a premier time management and organizing tool designed to help coaches, organizers, and educators work with clients who struggle with time management and organization.

Why I Specialize in Adult ADHD Coaching

Throughout my life, I was surrounded by people with undiagnosed ADHD, including family members. It wasn’t until my coaching journey that I understood ADHD’s profound impact. Today, I specialize in helping high-performing professionals, particularly leaders and entrepreneurs, who are navigating ADHD symptoms. Many of my clients are ambitious individuals who have incredible drive but struggle with time, organization and living life, often due to undiagnosed ADHD.

Coaching ADHD Adult High Performers

As I pursued my coaching certification, I realized how much I loved working with high performers. My clients are high-energy professionals (both men and women) with ADHD (diagnosed or not).

With today’s busy lifestyles, most people feel as though they have ADHD regardless! However, I found after working with entrepreneurs for years, that those who struggled most with getting organized and staying productive had the special challenge of battling their own neurodivergent (often ADHD+) symptoms.

ADHD is a brain-based condition with known causes, but so many smart, savvy, high performers who have a diagnosis may have never considered their ‘struggles’ to be the effects of executive function breakdowns that bog things down and hide in plain sight.

One of my clients says, “I feel like I’m constantly spinning hundreds of plates in the air while my legs are slogging through molasses!”

Coaching provides a safe space to experiment, notice, and observe yourself in the moment as you take action toward your goals.

I have a sweet spot for working with professionals and entrepreneurs because I am one. And, since I believe being a parent is the most important job you’ll ever have, I am deeply committed to helping professionals and entrepreneurs live and work powerfully, make more money, and carve out time to support their busy, thriving, successful families.

After all, life is a one-way street with a dead end. The most important trick is determining how best to spend your most precious resource: your attention.

Coaching ADHD Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs in the late startup to advancing growth phases of business get great results with me.

Entrepreneurs, especially those beyond the startup phase, thrive when they have clear systems, sustainable routines, and a structure that allows them to balance their personal and professional lives. I’ve found a passion for working with mompreneurs because, as a parent myself, I understand the unique challenges of juggling family, business, and personal growth.

If you’re in the growth phase of your business and feel overwhelmed by the chaos, it might be time for coaching. I help established entrepreneurs develop systems that support both their business growth and their well-being.

Many of my clients are in the later stages of life, having enjoyed long careers, and are looking for some new way to bring their talents, specialties, and passions to the world.  I specialize in helping those who’ve already launched and are looking to regain their time, optimize marketing, tighten up branding, increase sales, implement systems, and raise their profit margins.

How ADHD Coaching Works

ADHD coaching is all about taking action in ways that work for neurodiverse brains. Many individuals with ADHD struggle with starting tasks, staying motivated, and finishing projects. That’s where coaching comes in—it’s a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps you understand how ADHD affects your awareness, experience, and results. Coaching helps you leverage your strengths more consistently.

Coaching helps you move from feeling stuck to taking intentional action, repeatedly. By working together, you’ll build self-awareness, set achievable goals, and develop systems that align with your unique needs.

With ADHD, all parts of work can be tricky: Whether you get stuck when initiating, staying motivated, or struggling to finish projects, Coaching can help. Coaching helps you target those sticky performance gaps that can be so frustrating.

How ADHD Coaching Is Different

The first part of ADHD Coaching is building awareness. You see, most adults with ADHD don’t know much about how the effects of ADHD show up in their lived experience. There’s a lot of information available about ADHD symptoms, but few people really know how to take ownership of their reality and then harness their superpower abilities.

Instead, many ADHD adults have lived their lives somewhat successfully either ‘riding the adrenaline response wave’ to reach success, or avoiding and staying distracted so they don’t complete the big, scary things.

ADHD catches adults at ‘effect’ or symptoms. So, coaching helps shed light on those dark, slippery areas of effect. It provides the opportunity for you to see what likely may have been hiding in plain sight all along under the guise of ‘that’s just my personality.’

Coaching allows you to move from unconscious incompetence to conscious competence in your life. You’ll learn how powerful it feels to slow down, focus, set achievable goals, remove obstacles, take small steps, and reflect on what worked to deepen your awareness. We work to deepen awareness, build on your strengths, and design supportive environments that help you take action consistently.

ADHD Coaching Builds Accountability

Accountability is shared in a coaching relationship. Integrity is enhanced and your results will skyrocket. Whether you work with me privately or join a group, you benefit from my training, coaching, and certifications I’ve earned along life’s way.

I follow a process to help you find clarity, beginning with your vision and values you can align your brand messaging, find ideal clients with your marketing, and close more clients. When you have brand alignment, you attract more ideal clients, create savvy systems, take care of yourself, and develop supportive relationships around you so your business becomes more profitable and fuels the dream lifestyle you desire, by design.

Working with Adults in the “Sandwich Generation”

Many of my clients find themselves balancing the demands of growing children and aging parents while balancing demanding careers or running their small businesses. They’re looking for ways to have freedom and flexibility, and that’s exactly what I help them create.

Client Struggles

My clients are creative, intelligent, and accomplished, yet they often face common challenges:

  • Difficulty managing details and feeling overwhelmed.
  • Trouble with marketing and sales.
  • Challenges in prioritizing tasks and completing projects on time.
  • A lack of systems and routines that make them feel in control

They know they’re capable of great things but struggle to bring all the pieces together. My coaching approach helps them align their business processes, streamline their routines, and create space for both professional success and personal joy.

ADHD Flow Method

The ADHD Flow Method™: Clear the Fog, Create Flexible Framework, Focus and Finish

Over the years, I’ve developed the ADHD Flow Method™, a proven process that helps clients gain clarity, create a flexible framework, and stay focused to finish tasks. This method teaches clients how to work with their ADHD, not against it, creating systems that support engagement and productivity.

The Time & Space Style Inventory

I developed the Time & Space Style Inventory (TSSI™). The Time & Space Style Inventory™ is the first online assessment designed to help people understand their natural time management and organizational styles. This tool provides valuable insights for coaches, educators, and professionals working with individuals who struggle to stay organized and manage their time effectively.

I’ve written a few publications: The Time & Space Style Inventory Style Guide: The Professional’s Resource,  Time To Toss It, and Getting It All Done in The Unstoppable Woman’s Guide To Emotional Well-Being.  And I enjoy speaking at engagements centering around life balance, sandwich generation issues, career, confidence, self-development, organizing, productivity, and leadership.

Background & Brief Bio

With over 25 years of experience in human performance development, my background includes leadership, management training, organizational development, and productivity. I’ve worked with chronically disorganized individuals and those with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and other brain-related conditions. I’m passionate about helping clients achieve sustainable success through personalized coaching and systems that work for them.

In 2023, I became the Head Coach at Inflow, an ADHD Coaching App, where I lead the video coaching team. My certifications and experience in coaching, performance systems, and productivity allow me to provide the support and accountability clients need to reach their full potential.

Before leaving corporate, I led employee engagement initiatives, directed performance planning, managed staff, and implemented improvement initiatives for an employee base of more than 28,000. I am master-certified as a facilitator, and working toward COC coaching accreditations which I expect to finish in 2017.
