ADHD WISE COACHING is dedicated to

empowering individuals to find the clarity they need to achieve positive outcomes and change.

Is your ADHD holding you back?

Are you:

  • Frustrated you can't achieve the success you want?

  • Unclear what your strengths are?

  • Not using your strengths in your current role?

  • Finding it difficult to motivate yourself?

  • Stuck in a rut, or frequently changing jobs?

  • Ready to progress, but scared to take the first step?

  • Experiencing low self-esteem or imposter syndrome?

  • Struggling with time blindness, task initiation or transition?

  • Wanting to improve your executive function skills?

  • Regularly in a cycle of ADHD burnout?

  • Seeking clarity, and a better understanding of how your ADHD brain works?

Do you:

  • Struggle to switch off from work?

  • Fear failure?

  • Worry what others think of you?

  • Feel embarrassed or self-aware (of your ADHD or differences)?

  • Mask or hide who you are to fit in?

  • Feel overwhelmed and not good enough:

    • in a new leadership or management role?

    • after a recent promotion?

    • working in a new organisation?

    • in relationships

    • due to perimenopause/menopause symptoms?

    • because your values don't align with your organisation's?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, firstly congratulate yourself. Secondly, keep reading!

Having the emotional intelligence to recognise these things early is a positive sign. By acting now to understand and manage your ADHD challenges, you can avoid the regular cycles of ADHD burnout and take back control of your life.

Your internal dialogue does not match what's seen on the outside. Fear of failure is human nature, that's why our autonomic nervous system has a fight or flight response, to protect us from perceived danger. However, fear that builds up and is reinforced over time, can cause a crippling freeze response, creating a barrier to action, change and ultimately transformation.

That is where ADHD WISE Coaching can help you. My coaching programme enables you to understand and take charge of your ADHD, rather than your ADHD controlling you. I will meet you where you are at, and help you to understand and celebrate your whole self, enabling you to shape your next chapter, and the brighter future you deserve.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their career aspirations and goals in life and be the best version of themselves. That is why I have developed my coaching programme to focus on three key areas.

ADHD Awareness and Education

Understanding how your brain works is the first step in removing your workplace barriers, managing work pressures, self-limiting beliefs, and imposter syndrome. It will enable you to:

  • Identify and use your strengths - and work in supportive ways and environments.

  • Explain your workplace adjustments and support needs to others.

  • Set boundaries (that work for you) - to manage time, workload and resources.

  • Agree realistic deadlines to achieve milestones or outcomes.

  • Avoid cycles of ADHD burnout - learn to say no, rather than overcommitting.

  • Recognise your triggers to manage stress and anxiety and improve your health and wellbeing.

Unlocking Performance Potential

Performance potential is unlocked in engaging roles and environments, with autonomy over how you work, that utilise your skills, knowledge and experience. Clear performance expectations, regular feedback, workplace adjustments, management support, can help ADHDers perform effectively so:

  • Build performance consistency by using your professional skills, knowledge and experience daily.

  • Use a Workplace Adjustments Passport - to explain barriers, adjustments and preferred ways of working.

  • Use SMART objectives - and participate in regular performance reviews.

  • Request performance feedback regularly - use it constructively for your CPD.

  • Find a mentor, or sponsor to support your career development.

  • If imposter syndrome occurs it means you have stepped outside of your comfort zone - it is a sign of your growth!

Workplace Inclusion

An inclusive workplace culture that values and respects differences is key to enable diverse talent to thrive. You can contribute to building an equitable, inclusive culture by:

  • Educating others about neurodiversity - sharing your ADHD lived experience.

  • Normalising conversations about workplace adjustments and accessibility.

  • Embedding inclusive meeting practices - these often benefit everyone.

  • Being a role model, and champion - advocating for others.

  • Celebrate yours, and others successes publicly.

  • Be your authentic ADHD self, you ARE enough!
