Franki's Unique Leadership and Management Coaching
Franki has many years of experience as a manager and leader within different organizations, including her experience as a director managing a large and diverse group of seasoned professionals. She has a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities of being in a leadership position while neurodivergent, a perspective she gained from her lived experience with ADHD and her professional experience as an educator and therapist working with those with Autism for almost three decades. This understanding is a key element of her unique coaching programs, which she infuses with her in-depth training in learning and communication styles to help even the most seasoned managers become more authentic and compelling leaders.
Parenting Coaching
I’m a mom of three, raising a neurodiverse family, and I understand how parenting can be unpredictable, challenging, and sometimes downright exhausting. With over 25 years of experience working with families managing ADHD, autism, and behavior challenges, I offer practical, no-nonsense coaching grounded in honesty and a no-judgment approach. Typical parenting styles and advice from popular influencers often don’t speak to the realities of families raising neurodivergent kids. That’s why my coaching is tailored specifically to meet your family’s unique needs—helping you build stronger connections and foster emotional resilience without adding more stress to your plate. Think of me as your parenting coach who gets it and can help you tackle the tough stuff, all while reminding you that sometimes, surviving the day is a win in itself.If you’re ready for real support that meets you where you are, I’m here to help.
I'm Franki Bagdade. I'm not only the owner of FAAB consulting and a Metro Detroit-based Coach, I'm also an adult with ADHD! I am an educator and a clinical social worker, and have been helping those who are neurodivergent recognize their strengths and accommodate their weaknesses for over two decades!

How and Why Did Franki Become a Coach?
"I grew up as a quiet kid diagnosed with inattentive ADHD at 8 years old (I swear I was shy then I'll have my Mom write me a note.) I assumed I was lazy and made careless errors like everyone around me told me daily and therefore I must not be very smart or capable. When I left my rigorous dual curriculum and dual language private school for public high school I realized maybe I DID have some potential. The more I was able to take classes that matched my interests and my skills the more I realized I could achieve..."
