SPEAKING
Nathalie is often invited to speak on how organization can help people, especially those with ADHD, improve their lives and function better overall by reducing the stressors associated with being disorganized in their physical space and thought processes, as well as mismanaging their time.
She can develop custom presentations for your organization (e. g. work life balance)
or can repackage existing material and tailor it to your industry.
THIS YEAR...
INTERNATIONAL ADHD CONFERENCE 2022
Back by popular demand, Nathalie is presenting on "How to Choose the Right Planner for Your Brain." This presentation helps participants identify which planner features are most useful for them and simplifies the information so it is easy to digest and act upon. How to use a planner effectively is at the core of Nathalie's coaching services: 90% of her clients need help with this and she also offers group workshops on this topic.
Great review coming in November 2022.
CADDAC ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2022
Nathalie was asked to speak about "How to Manage Your Cashflow" as so many adults with ADHD have trouble managing their finances on a daily basis. Using the same principles as she teaches for planning tasks for the year, Nathalie introduces participants to the idea that 80% of their expenses are predictable and can be followed with the right tool. This concept helps the adult with ADHD "see" their cashflow beyond the now, thus having the opportunity to track and plan future daily expenses.
An incredible review will appear in October 2022.
CADDAC MONTHLY WEBINARS 2022
Nathalie developed this webinar after many requests from clients who were struggling to get healthy and easy to prepare meals on the table on time. Preparing meals is a challenge for many adults with ADHD. Discovering some shortcuts to making each key step in the process simpler was the foundation of this presentation which also included some recommendations on how one could better organize their kitchen.
"After watching this webinar, I understood how I needed to operate differently in my kitchen and how to choose simple menus that make my life easier."
- Cristina B.
PREVIOUS YEARS...
INTERNATIONAL ADHD CONFERENCE 2021
After realizing that more and more of her clients needed help organizing their daily expenses, Nathalie developed 2 tracking tools to make it easier for her clients to know and see where their money had to go over the course of the year. This then became a talk where she introduced these tools to the audience. Her talk on "Show Me the Money! How to Manage Your Cashflow" has now become the subject of a 4 week workshop to help adults with ADHD have the cashflow reality check that many have been avoiding and instead come to terms with their spending habits.
"We were so impressed with this presentation, a topic most with ADHD avoid, that we asked Nathalie to write a regular column on this subject."
- CHADD Editorial Board

The tips that are presented are easy to understand and implement. I finally felt understood
and ready to tackle my piles of stuff."

INTERNATIONAL ADHD CONFERENCE 2018 - Professionals' Day
Nathalie was one of the first presenters at the Professionals Day of the 2018 International ADHD Conference in Saint-Louis, Missouri. The topic was: "Should I Keep or Let it Go: How to Declutter When Drowning in Stuff". She offered some insight to fellow Coaches, Professional Organizers & Therapists on the impact that clutter can have on one's state of mind, the related health issues and how it can affect family dynamics when someone has ADHD. Audience participants learned some ADHD-friendly strategies on how they can help their clients let go of their excessive possessions.
"...Presentation was well-organized. Leaving with info I can implement immediately."
- Anonymous, Conference Participant
INTERNATIONAL ADHD CONFERENCE 2018 - General Conference
Nathalie closed the first day of the General Public Conference Day at the International ADHD Conference in Saint-Louis, Missouri. After realizing how many her clients struggled with meal preparation, she developed this conference topic that would seem a no brainer for the neuro-typical population. Through her talk on: "What's Cooking? How to Organize Your Food From Dawn to Dusk", Nathalie walked the audience through the various steps involved in getting dinner on the table in a timely and healthy fashion. Her strategies offer relief to the ADHD community that otherwise is challenged by their glitchy Executive Functions for a seemingly simple task.
"As another ADHD Coach/Organizer, I've given many presentations on this topic and just want to say I thought yours was exceptionally well done -- and you are a great presenter!
The topic of meal planning DOES have to start with kitchen organizing and you nailed it. One woman sitting near me kept saying "this is life changing...this is life changing." And there's no better feedback than that for us, is there?
Yay you!
- Lynne Johnson, Professional Organizer
DÉVELOPPEMENT VAUDREUIL-SOULANGES (in French)

Nathalie has been an amazing source of support and resources to me and my ADHD group. She goes out of her way to help people with any concern that they may have. Nathalie was one on the speakers at one of my meetings on ADHD and organizing your life! She was amazing! I cannot recommend her enough!"

"Today, I attended a conference Nathalie Pedicelli was giving to a women's business luncheon. As a public speaker, she was eloquent and very generous. I loved the fact that it was structured and yet speaking from the heart. Bravo Nathalie for speaking about this condition (ADHD) that is still, to this day, not well understood.”
- Danièle Soaré, Financial Coach
