Tuition: $250.00
About this program:

Madelyn Griffith-Haynie, CTP, CMC, A.C.T., MCC, OFI founder and creator of The Challenges Inventory™, is currently available by telephone to answer individual questions in a private, personalized consultation format, in addition to her ADD coaching agreements.

OFI's founder & CEO, "MGH" is a Master Certified Coach who has been working with ADD since 1979, providing practical suggestions, ongoing support, and ADD coach training – helping others to understand and overcome day-to-day attentional spectrum challenges and improving the lives of thousands of individuals with ADD.

She can help you anywhere in the WORLD.

Use the register link at the bottom of THIS page to book a private 2-hour Challenges Inventory Consultation with Madelyn herself, designed for:

  • Individuals who want to understand their results and how they can be used to help them handle their life Challenges effectively.
  • Professionals:enrolled in the Challenges Inventory Certification & Licensing Curriculum or Associate Grads who desire private "vetting" (Separate procedure for :Licensees; no additional charge for mentees or volunteer staff; client interpretations are included in your regularly scheduled coaching sessions)
To register for OTHER Consultations, see:
  • MGH-100, Support Consultations
  • MGH-101, Coach Referral Consultation
  • Additional Challenges Inventory options described below

The Challenges Inventory Consultation Format:

Although MGH publicly posted the Challenges Inventory itself in 1994 (to share what's possible even through the identification of individual Challenges), comprehensive Challenges Coaching™ is one of her proprietary resource.

Comprehensive Challenges Inventory-based coaching is available only in coaching or consultations with Madelyn herself or with certified and licensed coaches who have advanced training supporting the delivery of nuanced interpretations underlying the essential elements of Inventory-based coaching technique.

Challenges Interpretations from Madelyn herself::

INDIVIDUALS may schedule a single 2-hour session or two 1-hour sessions, depending on the limits of your ability to stay focused intentionally. (2-hour sessions only for Professionals)

Best results with a single session, so unless you have challenges sustaining focus, she STRONGLY suggests you schedule the longer format.
How do I get an appointment?
The first step is a click away -- simply click the registration link at the bottom of this page and step through the instructions from page to page.

Within 24-48 hours (Monday through Friday) after we are notified that your payment has been received - which happens practically immediately - we'll confirm receipt by email and let you how to book your appointment time with Madelyn, almost always within a week to ten days of your original request (sooner if your schedule meshes well with hers).

How much does it cost?
Unlike private coaching, which is an ongoing relationship of at least six month's duration at fees from $350 to $800 a month, consultations are available on an as-needed basis, most at a charge of $125 an hour, with discounts for students & private clients.

Challenges Inventory Consultations are the exception, and are $250 for everyone (Mentees & Licensees excepted)

  • This specialty consultation includes approximately 90-minutes of preparation time before the two-hour private interpretation & a detailed explanation of your Challenges Inventory scores and their implications to your functioning.

  • As the creator of the Challenges Inventory, MGH can explain the implications of every nuance! For 3-1/2 hours of expert focus toward your Optimal Functioning, these fees are quite reasonable, especially right now and for a limited time

  • She is making every effort to avoid increasing her private Inventory Consultation fees until she can provide alternatives for you at this price (i.e., consultations from graduates of the Challenges Inventory Certification and Licensing Curriculum). Don't procrastinate - this will not last!
HOWEVER, she has designed some alternative formats (described below), if private consultations aren't in your budget.
How do I pay?
You may pay online using any major credit card (or send money from your bank account) via PayPal's secure server, and will receive a printable receipt for your payment directly from PayPal. This is a much safer system for handling financial transactions than giving us your credit card information over the phone or inputting it on the ADDCoach.com website – plus, it is available 24/7.

Within 24 business hours (M-F, no holidays), you will also be emailed a copy of the notice that PayPal sends to us: to let you know that we have received payment and to give you a phone number to call to set up a time for your consultation.

As you will see, we receive ONLY your payment. We do NOT receive your personal PayPal account information – not your PayPal username or password, not details of your PayPal account, and not any other financial information linked to your account (like credit card or bank account information, etc.) – nor can we access that information.
  • If you already have an account with PayPal:
      Clicking the register link at the bottom of this page will take you to a screen on PayPal's secure server where you will be asked to sign in first, using your [already created] PayPal username and password.

  • If you do NOT already have an account with PayPal:
      If you don't already have a [free] PayPal account, clicking the register link at the bottom of this page will walk you through a simple process that will allow you to quickly set one up prior to payment, or you can book a consultation simply to walk you through that process, by mailing a check for your consultation fee. (if you plan to pay your coach by credit card, this account will allow you to do that too).

    If you plan to mail a personal check, email support@addcoach.com for those details.


Intended Audience:

If you are at least 18 years old, you may book a consultation with MGH for any number of reasons. She will speak with you one-on-one, providing ADD and ADD Coaching information and other resources that help ADDers succeed.

More Challenges Inventory Options
Alternative formats for situations where private consultations aren't in the budget.

  1. The Challenges Inventory Curriculum - Individual classes will explain the basics, which will also help you learn to work with your Challenges on your own or with a peer coach. (initial registration late Summer 2006)

  2. Sliding scale Challenges Consultations – By early 2007, some of the coaches enrolled in the Challenges Inventory Certification & Licensing Curriculum will be ready for initial clients as a part of their training, >privately as well as in observed formats.

    • NOTE: Upon GRADUATION, regardless of their individual coaching fees, initial Challenges Consultations from all coaches certified and licensed to work with this instrument will be $250.

    • At that time fees for Challenges Consultations with Madelyn personally will increase.

  3. ADD Hour Support Group Q&A - With enough notice, you can get somebasic information for free by signing up for the Q&A from a link to the event's date on the ADDCoach.com website calendar (click on 'Calendar' from the left menubar)
    • Before she will comment on individual scores or the relationships between them, Madelyn requires receipt of initial scores in a particular written format. Don't expect anything beyond a basic explanation of the Challenges if you surprise her with your request!!
    • There must ALSO be room in her schedule to accommodate the up-front prep required; please understand she can't schedule non-billable hours "in ink!".

Leader's Instructions:
Consultations & Coaching with Madelyn Griffith-Haynie, MCC
What's the Difference?

Private COACHING is an ongoing relationship a coach and client fashion together, with monthly appointments for a monthly fee, initiated by an intake call and the return of a signed coaching agreement.

An initial six month minimum commitment is required for ALL Private Coaching Agreements with Madelyn (including Mentor Coaching). After that period there are additional options available, all of which can be discontinued with 30 days notice

If you are interested in using Madelyn's coaching services, including ADD Coaching, Mentor Coaching, Mentor/Training, Couples Coaching, Group Coaching, or Peer Coaching Support, see instructions above.


CONSULTATIONS are primarily for when you want to "pick her brain" at an hourly rate; for clarification, jump-starting, ADD information, Challenges Interpretation, client strategizing, etc..– with no coaching agreement or ongoing relationship implied,.
ANYONE over 18 may book a consultation: – parents, partners, educators, ADDers and non – for any number of reasons

THIS registration option is specifically for Challenges Inventory Consultations. (Info above for Consultations of other types.)

Extra support for Associates & students:
  • As you know, you may register for ACT Answers with questions mgh can handle within the first ten minutes of any session. If you are on time and no one has registered specifically to find out about training options, she will be happy to work with you until the end of the hour at no charge.
  • You may also bring coaching-specific questions to the Coach's RoundTable and public Q&A-appropriate questions to the ADD Hour™ Q&A Support Group. .
  • Most client situations are best workshopped at Associates Lab.

  • Whenever additional 'one-on-one' support is requested, students, clients, and Associates receive priority scheduling.

    • Your use of the consultation structure helps mgh manage her schedule

    • The consultation fee compensates her when asked for individual instruction or explanation beyond what is provided in the design of curriculum structure and content – to help her manage her budget!

    • Please help her continue to help you by working within this structure.

Client/Student DISCOUNTS:

Former and active clients and all Associates in good standing receive a discount on consultation fees, which are separate from coaching and training sessions; as well as a discount on coaching fees.

To keep this process one-form simple, and because it is difficult to reach her for PromoCode information at a time when she is not already ON the phone, book an hour at the standard rate for your first consultation (or whenever you can't find the appropriate PromoCode!).

She will refund the appropriate discount, along with overpayments for any unused time, and will let you know how to use the correct PromoCode for future consultations.


To book appointments for any CONSULTATION:
  • Click the REGISTER link at the bottom of the appropriate details page (see above), which will take you to through the payment process.

  • Make SURE your "student record/information form" includes your phone numbers and complete email address
    (including the part after the "@")

  • Upon receipt of your payment, you will receive an email telling you how to proceed, then will speak briefly with Madelyn or an assistant to schedule your consultation time at the earliest mutually convenient opportunity.
