About the Coach

Meet Danelle Fortune

"Besides the assistance Danelle provides my daughter, she is also a strong foundation for me, a parent who came to this with little understanding of what my ADHD child needs."

Danelle Fortune is passionate about helping students decide what success looks like in their lives and going after that success in partnership. Often the missing piece is direct instruction in executive function skills and Danelle has sought out advanced training to help students learn those skills and use them to move toward their goals.

Danelle was honored to complete “Coaching Teens & College Students with ADHD” with JST Coaching and Training, the premiere ADHD coach training organization in the world, and several life coaching classes through CTI, as well as Gretchen Wegner's "The Art of Inspiring Students to Study Strategically."

In addition to Danelle’s ADHD/executive function and life coach training, she earned an MBA from Georgetown University.

​Danelle has lived in the Alexandria area for 30 years and she and her husband are raising three children and two dogs.
