Hello all! My name is Jordan Lanier. 

 

I have a BA in Teacher Education, a Certified ADHD Life Coach (CALC) accreditation from the International ADHD Coach Training Center, and am working on becoming a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation. All my life I’ve been passionate about helping people. This is how I got here. 

 

I graduated cum laude from UNM in 2020, but, due to the pandemic, I did not go to the classroom. Instead, I stayed home with my daughter and began tutoring. During this time, I started working with a student who has ADHD. I could see that this student was incredibly bright, but that their ADHD made it more difficult for them to show that in the classroom. I knew in my heart that it wasn’t the student’s fault…it was because the system was not made for students like them. I quickly became invested in helping them find their own system of success. I spent hours learning about ADHD and ADHD strategies to better serve this student. 

 

But the more I studied, the more I began to recognize ADHD symptoms within myself. Suddenly, things that had challenged me for years began to make sense! No wonder I lose my phone in the fridge and never leave my house on time. No wonder I get distracted so easily and collect hobbies and populate my house with “doom piles”. Simply knowing that these challenges are shared by others and could be symptoms made acknowledging them not so hard. Not so shameful. It made acknowledging them powerful and freeing. I knew then that I wanted to help others feel the same way. That’s when I found ADHD Life Coaching. 

 

Since then, I’ve been on the path of self discovery and learning how to help others find that path for themselves. I still have “doom piles” and lose my phone at least once a day, but now I do so with a gentleness that was not there before. I find myself being kind where I was once hard on myself, and this understanding has allowed me a safe space to grow with my quirks, not in spite of them. My goal with Luminous Key Coaching is to help others evoke an awareness that sparks kindness and understanding within themselves that allows them to grow their own way, because it is through kindness that we make the world a brighter place and succeed.
