Helping ADHD humans navigate a complex work world with confidence

Silly name.

Serious mission.

You know how bees have this incredible communication system called the waggle dance? It's their super-specific way of telling the hive where to find the best stuff.


That's where Wagl gets its name.


If you have ADHD, you already know our brains work differently.  And this world isn't exactly set up for us, which makes things way harder than they should be.


I believe your brain has its own awesome 'signature waggle' — your unique way of processing and communicating — when it comes to navigating your studies or your career.  It's not about fitting you into some rigid mold; it's about helping you tap into that inherent rhythm that gets you buzzing in the right direction for you.

New Paragraph

My name is Drory…

...and for three decades I navigated a successful UX career while carrying the weight of Dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD. I assumed life was meant to be relentlessly complex—that everyone struggled the way I did.


Then 2013 arrived with an ADHD diagnosis that shattered my misconceptions. Like stepping out of Plato's cave, I didn't see this diagnosis as an endpoint but as illumination — a bright spark revealing strengths I'd never recognized in myself.


Instead of letting struggle define my story, I chose to rewrite it.


I created the coaching experience I wish I'd had — one that doesn't dwell on delays or challenges but celebrates them as essential phases of "preparing to launch." This perspective shift became Wagl's foundation. Even the name embodies motion and readiness — a call to begin a journey where your unique brain isn't just accommodated but celebrated.

If you're a college student in your final years of a degree program, embarking on your career, or a professional looking to move up (or make a switch), you've likely faced labels and felt a sense of "not enough."


But I see your neurodivergence as a source of incredible strength. Just as bees learn the dance from each other, my coaching journey is a collaborative one. You're the expert on you — I'm here to help you decode your inner workings and find the best approach for you, adapting as we go, just like bees adjust their dance to changing conditions. I blend two powerful approaches to help you find your unique flow:

Cognitive Coaching:

Understanding your "inner waggle"


This part of our journey focuses on reshaping your self-perception and gaining profound insights into how your specific executive functioning operates – your natural way of navigating. I move away from deficit-based thinking and illuminate the inherent strengths within your neurodivergent mind. You'll develop a clearer understanding of your cognitive strengths and challenges, reframe negative self-talk, cultivate greater self-compassion, and gain a deeper awareness of how your ADHD impacts your learning and work style. The key takeaway is a more positive and empowered self-image, recognizing the value of your neurodivergent perspective and the effectiveness of your individual navigation.

Practical Coaching:

Tools & tactics that leverage your strengths


This focuses on equipping you with actionable, real-world tactics tailored to your cognitive profile – strategies that harmonize with your natural way of operating. I translate your newfound self-awareness into tangible improvements in your daily life and career. You'll develop personalized strategies for time management and organization, learn effective techniques to enhance focus, build stronger communication skills, and gain practical tools to navigate career transitions. The key takeaway is a toolkit of practical strategies you can immediately implement to enhance your productivity, manage challenges, and achieve your goals, all while honoring your individual way of operating.

Let me take my years of experience (a.k.a. struggling to figure out this stuff on my own) and boil it down so you can learn this stuff in weeks.


I want to help you see the real power and potential in your unique brain.

  • Gain Clarity and Confidence in Your Journey: Move from feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood to having a clear vision for your future and the self-assurance to pursue it, embracing the power of your unique movement.
  • Rewrite Your Narrative and Own Your Path: Transform the "failure to launch" feeling into the empowering reality of "preparing to launch" with intention and self-awareness, celebrating your distinct way of navigating life.
  • Leverage Your Strengths and Your Unique Approach for Success: Identify and amplify the unique advantages your neurodivergent brain brings to your studies and your career in innovative fields, understanding how your individual way of operating sets you apart.



Just as bees buzz towards the good stuff, I'm here to help you understand and trust your unique way of navigating so you can confidently move towards your goals and thrive in a world that needs your unique perspective.

Questions + Answers...

  • Is coaching right for me?

    Are you inherently motivated to achieve your goals, and to effect positive change? Coaches can help you define goals, identify and learn strategies, and incorporate them into daily life, but we can’t do it for you. Motivation needs to be intrinsically strong to see success.

  • Is coaching different from therapy?

    Very much so. While I have been trained by a renowned local ND therapist on how to adapt my practice to meet the needs of folks with ADHD, I am not a healthcare provider and do not diagnose or treat any mental or physical health conditions.


    But regardless if you have an ADHD diagnosis or not, I can help you recognize your unique traits and strengths, and work with you to adopt new skills and strategies to build on those strengths and fill in gaps.

  • What sort of training do you have?

    My training is through Coach Training Edu, which is certified by the International Coaching Federation. Additionally, I've received intensive training about ADHD (and coaching people with ADHD) from the experts at Bainbridge Collaborative Counseling.

  • How many sessions will I need, and do you recommend minimum number of sessions?

    That depends on your goals and starting point, but meaningful change won't happen in a single session — developing new skillsets takes time and practice, so the minimum commitment is to ensure you get meaningful value out of the coaching relationship. 


    If the goal has a milestone or deadline (e.g. prepping for a job interview or learning how to collaborate with colleagues more effectively), then I can certainly tailor the coaching journey to align with that. But in the spirit of "repetition builds skill" the more time you allow for practice the better your outcome. This is particularly true for our younger clients. 

    This is something we cover in more detail in your complimentary meet-n-greet appointment.

  • Do you take insurance?

    No, but if your insurance covers coaching you can request a superbill at the end of the month that you can submit to your insurance company.

  • What age ranges do you support?

    I work with college students as young as 20, and working professionals of any age. 


    If you're already familiar with Wagl, you may recall that (a) Wagl started as a three-person partnership and (b) that partnership served kids as young as 10.


    At the end of 2024, the three-person partnership elected to disband — so there's just me now.  My focus for the partnership was always young adults, so that's why Wagl'age range has shifted.

  • Can't I just use one of those ADHD coaching or habit training apps?

    Some folks do very well with a coaching app on their phone or watch, as it aligns well with their natural self-motivation. An app can indeed support both the messaging of the work and the ongoing execution of an established coaching plan, and some have begun experimenting with basic goal-setting frameworks.


    But without human-to-human interaction, much is lost in the coaching journey.  Even the most "AI-enabled" app can't interpret non-verbal cues such as body language or facial expressions, or even understand the nuances of the emotions behind the words.  Nor is it able to use intuition and life experience to "get beyond the ask" of the client and help them identify the real underlying need — and adapt along the way to ensure the coaching journey remains highly relevant and valuable to the client.

CHAMPIONING SAFER SPACES FOR ALL
A safer space is a supportive, non-threatening environment where all participants can feel comfortable to express themselves and share experiences without fear of discrimination or reprisal. Creating a safer space is especially important when dealing with mental health issues, which can be a sensitive area for people and involve deeply personal or traumatic experiences.  I use the word "safer" to acknowledge that safety is relative — not everyone feels safe under the same conditions. By acknowledging the unique experiences of each individual — be they Neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ or not — I hope to create as safe a space as possible for everyone.
