Do you have ADHD?
If the multiple music hobbies below didn’t give it away then, yeah me too…
The ADHD Experience
If you’re someone with ADHD, or suspect you might have it, you might have noticed a few recurring themes in your career or business. Negative feedback is really hard and hits us super personally. We suffer from rejection sensitivity so a sales call that doesn’t convert can be extra painful. We regularly feel like we’re not doing enough but get burnt out when trying to juggle it all. If any of this resonates. I can relate.
It doesn’t help that we’re often given advice built for neurotypical people. “Eating the frog” and starting with the hardest task first means that often none of the tasks get done and “just go to bed earlier” is a recipe for staring up at the ceiling for hours on end.
Often these mentors have the best intentions but they’re missing one thing; they’re not us. They haven’t lived our life and so don’t understand the unique experience of walking in an ADHD-er’s shoes. This is where coaching comes in.
My role as a coach is not to tell you what to do. Instead we go on the journey together. You are the expert in you and together we can try things out, explore new perspectives and find solutions that work for you and your unique brain.

ADHD Leadership Coaching Case Study
At the start of working with one of my clients he told me that he had suddenly found himself in a position of leadership but had no idea how he'd got there or how to actually be the great leader that he wanted to be. Being told to "flex his leadership muscles" left him with a pit in his stomach.
So we had to start by defining what leadership was, and what a good leader meant to him and then could look at his strengths.
He took an assessment and his natural inclination was to go straight to the "less good" section to discover his weaknesses and realised these were his strengths being overplayed, and that by bringing these back into the strength zone, he could get them working for him again instead of against him.
As he's grown more confident in his strengths, he's used them to step outside of his comfort zone again and again. He's given presentations on ADHD to raise the profile of neurodivergence at his workplace and has been approached with requests to mentor people as a result. He's restructured how he works to get the best out of his brain and recognised what systems allow him to perform at his best.
On top of this, he blew his boss away with the pitch he gave on the future of his role, a pitch he produced by liaising with relevant people from across the organisation (huge for someone who considers networking one of his weaknesses) and this pitch has laid the groundwork of what looks to be a huge step forward in his role in the future.
And all of this in just over three months!!
