Hi, My name is Tyler Dorsey, I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 5th grade and struggled throughout my school career to keep up with projects, stay organized, and maintain a schedule. In my early 20s, I realized I needed to make some drastic changes if I wanted to become a more successful human, and I began to seek out resources.
I found a support system, developed a plan, and built a toolkit of concepts and tips that I could lean on. I went from feeling like I was always running behind, to taking control of my life and opening my own business so that I could help others who are struggling with the same obstacles that I faced for so long.
Welcome to Focus Forward. Let us help you find your superpower in the chaos of ADHD.

Learn About Cindy
Hi, I’m Cindy North, and I’d love to invite you to reflect on the journey that brought you here today. What challenges have shaped your story? Where have you found triumph? And what makes this moment matter? These questions guide my own life, and I believe they can bring clarity and purpose to yours, too.
The Journey of Love, Family, and Life’s Winding Roads
For over 25 years, I’ve shared life with my soulmate, and together we’ve built a strong foundation through 19 years of marriage. Growing up as a military brat taught me resilience and adaptability amidst constant change, lessons that continue to shape me as a wife, mother, and coach. My greatest pride is raising two dynamic children, each navigating their ADHD journeys with courage. Life’s smooth paths and rocky roads have shaped who I am today, and my family’s small hobby farm in Versailles, Kentucky—filled with horses, goats, chickens, and more—provides daily inspiration and a grounding connection to nature.
Why ADHD Life Coaching?
ADHD affects everyone differently, bringing its own unique challenges and strengths. For many, the struggles with symptoms and executive functioning can feel overwhelming, and medication alone doesn’t always solve the problem. Coaching provides a pathway to self-discovery, helping individuals uncover their strengths and build strategies that work with their unique brain.
As a Certified ADHD Life Coach, I guide clients—parents, teachers, and individuals alike—through these challenges, helping them turn frustration into empowerment. Together, we’ll uncover your hidden superpowers, navigate life’s obstacles, and create a path forward that truly works for you.
Guided by a Love of Learning
I’m endlessly curious and passionate about personal growth. My certifications as a Positive Intelligence Coach, a Professional Coach Credential through the International Coaching Federation, and ADHD Life Coach training through the iACTcenter allow me to empower individuals and families impacted by ADHD. My specialty lies in understanding how emotions influence outcomes, helping my clients align their head, heart, and actions for meaningful change.
