ADHD-Informed Executive Coaching: Lead with Confidence, Authenticity, and Purpose
Navigate Your ADHD to Empower Yourself and Unlock Your Potential
If you’re a business leader diagnosed with ADHD - or wondering if you might have ADHD - you may have spent years battling self-doubt, burnout, or a constant push-and-pull of feeling like you aren't enough yet simultaneously too much. You might have developed successful coping mechanisms - but at what cost? I know this struggle personally. I spent years pushing through, feeling like something was missing, wondering why traditional productivity strategies didn’t work for me, and often feeling hopeless. It wasn’t until I fully understood and embraced my ADHD that I found a way to thrive, and now I help others do the same.
Who I Work With
I coach executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners who feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or demoralized. My clients are highly capable individuals who have hit a wall - their usual ways of operating no longer serve them, and they’re ready for real change. They want to feel more confident and in control of their careers and lives.
My Lived Experience: Why This Work Matters to Me
I have walked this path. I know what it’s like to feel out of sync with the world, to wonder why things that seem easy for others feel impossible for me. I also know what it feels like to finally understand my own brain—to embrace how I work best and build a life around that. I’ve made it my mission to help others do the same. My clients often tell me they feel deeply seen, heard, and understood—maybe for the first time in their lives. This is the power of ADHD-informed coaching.

My ADHD Origin Story
Integrating ADHD Into My Leadership Practice
The ADHD Difference: Strengths-Based Coaching
Many of us with ADHD have spent our lives focusing on our weaknesses - constantly trying to “fix” ourselves to fit into a neurotypical mold. But this only leads to shame and burnout. I take a different approach: we start with your strengths. Through assessments, deep reflection, and coaching, we identify and lean into what you naturally do well. This shift is transformational - when you see your ADHD as an asset rather than a liability, everything changes.
The Core Challenges We Tackle
Executive Functioning & Emotional Regulation
ADHD affects executive function—the mental skills needed to plan, focus, and execute. Many high achievers with ADHD develop coping strategies like relying on last-minute adrenaline to get things done, which leads to exhaustion. We work together to strengthen executive functioning, build sustainable systems, and break free from burnout cycles. A major part of this includes addressing emotional hypersensitivity, also known as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), which can create unnecessary stress and self-doubt.
​
Working with an Interest-Based Brain
Your brain isn’t broken—it’s wired differently. ADHD brains thrive on passion, novelty, and deep interest. When you’re engaged, you can accomplish in four hours what others do in sixteen. The challenge? When you’re not interested, even small tasks feel insurmountable. Together, we design strategies that align with your natural motivators, making execution easier and more effective.
​
Trusting Your Own Voice
Many of us grew up feeling “less than,” constantly questioning ourselves. Over time, this erodes confidence. My coaching helps you reconnect with your inner voice, trust your instincts, and step into leadership with authenticity. When you understand your strengths and own your perspective, you lead with clarity and purpose.
Shifting from Scarcity to Abundance
Many ADHD adults operate from a scarcity mindset, always feeling like they need to prove themselves or “keep up.” This mindset is draining. Through our work together, we challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with an abundance mindset—one where you recognize your unique strengths, trust yourself, and operate from a place of possibility rather than fear.
The Transformational Process
This work isn’t just about productivity - it’s about deep personal transformation. My clients experience profound shifts in how they see themselves and their work. They:
​
-
Gain clarity on their strengths and how to leverage them.
-
Develop sustainable strategies for focus, organization, and follow-through.
-
Learn to regulate emotions and manage stress more effectively.
-
Reframe past struggles as sources of wisdom and resilience.
-
Step into leadership roles with greater confidence and authenticity.
All of this allows them to be better at what they do, take their businesses to the next level, and achieve their professional goals
Is This for You?
If you’re at a crossroads - questioning old habits, feeling the need for change, and ready to embrace a new way of leading and living - this coaching is for you. My clients tend to be in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, often entrepreneurs and business owners who are ready to stop fighting against themselves and start working with their unique strengths.
Next Steps
The world needs your creativity, vision, and leadership - fully realized, fully expressed. If you’re ready to step into a new way of leading and living, let’s connect. Schedule a consultation today and take the first step toward embracing your ADHD and leading with confidence.

What Actually Is ADHD? It's so misunderstood, and most of what you read on the Internet is wrong. Here's how I explain it:
​
ADHD is an interest-based brain wiring with an unusually sensitive nervous system. Motivation is driven primarily by interest, novelty, urgency, or meaning—not by importance alone. When something is engaging, focus comes easily and even intensifies into hyperfocus, often producing energy rather than draining it. When something is not interesting, it can be done—but at a high energy cost. This uneven "energy curve", combined with emotional volatility throughout the day, often makes energy management far more challenging than time management. ADHD is medically categorized into inattentive, hyperactive, and combined presentations, but these labels often miss the deeper lived experience.
​
ADHD also involves delayed or limited executive functioning, which affects planning, sequencing, organization, and time estimation (“time blindness”). Uninteresting tasks are often avoided or procrastinated—not because of laziness, but because the brain anticipates overwhelm and pain. Nonlinear thinking can cause tasks to be experienced all at once rather than step-by-step, rapidly triggering shutdown. This cycle frequently leads to negative self-talk and shame. Emotional intensity is central to ADHD: feelings are felt deeply, including the real pain of perceived or actual rejection (often called rejection sensitivity). Many people with ADHD appear unusually authentic, open, and honest—sometimes to a fault—because their nervous system processes emotion and meaning at full volume.

The lived experience of ADHD is what matters most to those of us struggling to thrive in a world that is, quite literally, not built for us. Here's a short article I wrote called,
