    /24-7PressRelease/ - NEW YORK, NY, December 28, 2006 - The A.D.D. Coaching Group, an organization identifying and leveraging the unique talents and strengths of individuals living with A.D.D., today announced an upcoming 99.5 WBAI Radio Interview by Nathalie Thandiwe, Host of The Women: Body and Soul Show featuring Frank Coppola, Founder of the ADD Coaching Group.

Nathalie Thandiwe is the creator, producer and host of the show, Women: Body and Soul, which facilitates provocative dialogue about women's health, relationships and sexuality, providing holistic, multicultural perspectives.

"I feel ADD/ADHD is an important topic for women and the impact on their lives is underestimated. I feel Frank Coppola of the ADD Coaching Group has the insight, resources, strategies and tools for living successfully with ADD which I wanted to share with my audience" said Nathalie Thandiwe.

Frank Coppola created the A.D.D. Coaching Group (www.addcoachinggroup.com) and its Benefit with ADD programs, classes and workshops as a new perspective to A.D.D. - following many years of struggling with misdiagnosis, critical judgment and perpetual self-criticism. Upon realization of his individual symptoms, he comprehended his new perspective and set out to receive several degrees offering advanced knowledge to those feeling depressed by their symptoms. Ten Ways to Benefit presents a new paradigm - one that transforms the view of A.D.D. as a disability to one that allows individuals to capitalize on and flourish with their unique abilities and potential.

A.D.D. is a neurological-biological disorder, which challenges areas of attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. For many years, hyperactivity was considered only physical and frequently seen in children and adults who are unable to sit still. Today, hyperactivity includes cognitive and physical behavior. The A.D.D. Coaching Group takes the approach of viewing this as a creative mind rather than a negative stigma and a losing battle. Mr. Coppola has demonstrated that with proper diagnosis, education and the aid of an expertly trained coach, this sophisticated and revolutionary approach offers a different perspective than merely through prescription.

This process is called ADDing Perspective and once discovered and experienced patients learn to Benefit with ADD & WIN with ADD . By working together to uncover talents and maximize strengths, scores of clients have learned to take advantage and benefit from the A.D.D Coaching Group. Discussion points to be covered during the show include:

"We are living in the Decade of Distraction. Surprising as it may seem, people living with ADD may have a competitive advantage over others especially, for example, with the ability to multitask. With the enormous amount of data and information coming at us through TV, cable, the internet and other media, the ability to multitask becomes an important component for success over the coming years" stated Mr. Coppola
