About Carol
The author of Your Innovator Brain: The Truth About ADHD, Carol Gignoux, M. Ed., is one of the foremost thought leaders on the subject of ADHD and other innovator brain types. She has a passion for helping people unlock their potential and embrace their true talents and has spent nearly 40 years helping people heal and find peace and joy in their lives.
Not diagnosed until she was an adult – and parent of a child with ADHD – Carol knows first-hand about the difficulties and the challenges associated with having this particular brain type. This led her to become a pioneer in the field of coaching people with ADHD and executive function issues.
Because she has worked with children as young as four to adults in their 70s, Carol knows that ADHD is not so much a disorder as a different way of thinking. She believes that every person has potential, just like each diamond starts as coal. She helps people find their own way to shine.

Carol’s ADHD Mission
She has been privileged to work with so many wonderful people of all ages and backgrounds who fit a certain profile referred to as ADHD. Her most important mission is to bring the truth to light about the real nature of so-called ADHD. Throughout time, people with this brain type have been many of our most important innovators. A wealth of experience has shown that this often maligned and stigmatized brain type is more the brain type of innovators than misfits.
She works to change the negative way people view the ADHD trait. ADHD is not a “disorder,” but rather a cluster of valuable assets that when managed correctly can create big results. ADHDers have fine company in innovators like Einstein, Mozart, the Wright Brothers, Winston Churchill and and Henry Ford.
