Pete Quily Interviewed in the Vancouver Province Article on his Adult ADD Coaching Client Jeff Hamilton
Back to Media Room
I was interviewed for a 2 page spread in The Vancouver Province By Damian Inwood August 7th, 2005 p.b2. The article focused on one of my Adult ADD coaching clients Jeff Hamilton.
Jeff and I have written a book about his experiences in dealing with ADD, Pills Don’t Teach Skills, that and are trying to get published. The pills are useful, they can make it easier to learn the skills you need to effectively deal with ADD, but you won’t learn the skills just by taking a pill and doing nothing else.
Here's a PDF of the article
It was also picked up nationally by Canwest Global. Some mentions I know about include
Edmonton Journal. Edmonton, Alta.: Aug 10, 2005. p. A.12
Sudbury Star. Sudbury, Ont.: Aug 12, 2005. p. B.6
Daily Bulletin. Kimberley, B.C.: Aug 10, 2005. p. 10
Sault Star. Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.: May 15, 2004. p. C.4
Here's an excerpt of the article
Hamilton was diagnosed two years ago and embarked on an aggressive counter-attack involving medication and receiving life-skills coaching. “I had to look in the mirror and face myself,” said Hamilton. “Life-skills coaching and medication taught me to have that extra split-second to think about what comes out of your mouth, how you react physically and mentally.”
He went to Pete Quily, a Vancouver adult-ADD life-skills coach. “It gave me that ability to have a clearer train of thought, which contributes to how you react, to your emotions, your levity. All of those things relate to how you function in life, in a marriage, in a career, as a friend, as a parent.”
