Lunchtime CoachCafe | Coaching for ADHD
With ADHD awareness growing across all generations, the ADHD Coach Café is the premier ICF hub for sharing insights, tackling real-world challenges, and building meaningful connections.
The ICF NYC ADHD Coach Café is a live, peer-driven coaching space that welcomes coaches of all levels and specialties. It offers invaluable opportunities to deepen understanding and support clients with ADHD traits while fostering a tight-knit community of professionals.
We equip coaches with the tools, strategies, and peer connections needed to make a greater impact in serving clients who identify with ADHD. For coaches who share this lived experience, the Café provides an especially supportive environment to exchange ideas and grow together.
Bridging the gap between CHADD’s advocacy and ACO’s networking, the ADHD Coach Café creates a unique professional development space, fostering connections with ICF leadership and resources.
Attendance is free and includes CCEUs, making it an accessible and valuable benefit for ICF NYC members. Best of all, you don’t have to live in NYC to join our chapter and take advantage of this community.

Minal Kamlani & Rachel Katz, both long-time New Yorkers, first connected through the ADHD Coach Café and quickly became friends after meeting at another local ICF event. Their shared passion for ADHD coaching and its intersection with trauma-informed practices sparked a meaningful collaboration. With years of lived ADHD experience and coaching expertise—and even living in the same neighborhood—it felt inevitable they would team up to create something truly synergistic.
- Minal Kamlani leans into executive & internal coaching given her corporate background and brings lived experience to intersectional (BIPOC & LGBTQ) conversations.
- Rachel Katz also draws on her corporate background but focuses on supporting parents & teens navigating ADHD.
Together, Minal & Rachel bring complementary perspectives and a shared passion for fostering impactful, inclusive coaching spaces.
