Now members access our sleek ADHD-adapted flows to manage their ADHD and reach their full potential._\n\n\\-\n\n---\n\nWe’re Chris \u0026 Vikram, and we’re building [Shimmer](http://www.shimmer.care). Our mission is for every individual with ADHD to reach their full potential, _their way_. Shimmer ADHD Coaching was born last year after I (Chris) was diagnosed with ADHD and was frustrated with the lack of affordable, quality behavioral coaching solutions. Since then, we’ve grown tremendously, building the #1 ADHD Coaching Platform recommended by HCPs, therapists, and psychiatrists across North America.\n\n### **❌ The Challenge**\n\nAfter working closely with 1,200+ adults with ADHD, 25+ expert ADHD coaches, and top ADHD experts, we watched first-hand the challenges ADHD-ers have in reaching their best life:\n\n1. **🔭 Direction**: Not setting behavioral goals or having a “vision” future state in mind\n2. **🪓 Action**: Not making actions (consistently) that are actually in line with their goals\n3. **🤿 Depth**: Picking up and dropping productivity apps that don’t help them get to their core issue.\n\n### **✨ The Solution**\n\nThe Shimmer Web App (in conjunction with the mobile app) is the guiding tissue between our members and their full potential. Facilitated by their expert ADHD coach, members:\n\n1. Set vision and assess starting state with our Shimmer Mastery Assessment\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=73989\u0026key=user_uploads/608519/2e0e2f4a-3966-4c47-988f-9e1fab064c81)\n\n2.
