Leigh Collier, leadership coach
Ever fascinated by the technical, Leigh naturally gravitates toward working with numbers and using her skill to problem-solve. Her technical literacy has helped her delve into deeply complex work as a quantitative analyst, while her musical ability means she feels equally at home holding a cello at her side.
Leigh recognises that the true power of technical skills are unlocked when paired with excellent leadership skills. Through pursuing her ICF-ACC accreditation, she has honed her own mastery in marrying leadership skills with the highly technical. Leigh thrives in this space, centring her coaching around making it more accessible for all neurotypes.
As a multi-passionate person and woman with ADHD, Leigh's unique lens helps guide individuals and organisations on their own path to discovering their strengths and reaching their next level of achievement – whatever that may look like.

What is coaching?
Coaching is a process of coach and leader partnering to maximise the client’s potential. While acknowledging that the leader is the expert in themselves, the coach works with them to widen their perspective, facilitating new discovery about themselves and the challenges they’re facing.
Coaching is different from mentoring in that the coach is not instructing the client or giving advice, rather working with the client to find their own solutions that work for them. Coaching also differs from therapy which is more focused towards healing, whereas coaching is focused on growth.

What is neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence refers to individuals who think a little differently, including ADHD, Autism, Tourette’s Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and more. Neurotypicals are individuals who do not fit the neurodivergence definition. We also enjoy the term “neurospicy” as a colloquial reference to neurodivergence.
Leigh works with individuals of any neurotype - neurodivergent, neurotypical or not yet sure - regardless of diagnosis or not. She is also sensitive to those who would prefer not to disclose their neurodivergence in the workplace, or even during coaching, and would just like to talk to someone who is appreciative of their different way of thinking.
For more information about various types of neurodivergence, I find the Exceptional Individuals website very helpful.
