When you pick a coach that specializes in neurodivergence,
you’re getting
a friend on the journey . . .
Imagine that you are driving down the road. You know where you’re going, and you even think you know how to get there. But it’s a busy road. What are the chances that you might miss the tiny sign where you need to turn? And you’ve got your map cued up, but how do you turn the sound on? And let’s not forget that your car is a little quirky. It doesn’t work exactly like the other cars on the road.
So, even though you know where you’re going, some helpful company might make things a little easier. When you decide to engage me as your coach, you’re popping me there in the passenger seat.
You’re still driving. You still know where you’re going. You don’t need me to tell you those things. We all know that nobody needs a back-seat driver. But I’m there and alert and ready to help.
Three Aspects of Differently-Wired Coaching
Awareness
Before you can move forward, you need to build insight. You might need the prompting of an unexpected question to suddenly gain a new perspective.
Skills and Tools
When your awareness increases, often you’ll need to try out new approaches and build different systems to support you on your journey.
Education
And you might just need to know more about why your brain is functioning the way it is. Brains are amazing; you’ll like getting to know yours better.

Help Noticing
One of my jobs is to raise awareness of your environment, external and internal. “Hey,” I might say, “The sign behind that tree limb says ‘This way to Project Paradise: Where Good Work Gets Finished.’ Aren’t you trying to finish that thing?” As a coach, my job is to ask questions—lots and lots of questions—to help you see more than you would if you were by yourself. As your awareness grows, you can make better choices about how to get where you want to go.
An Accessible Map
I’m also there to help you find tools and systems to better engage your mental navigation system. You’re probably using plenty of tools already. But working together to understand what adjustments you might make or what new options you might want to try helps you to find what works for you to smooth out the travel experience.
An Expert When You Need One
And I’m also there to fill you in. You are an expert on you, but I’m an expert on brains with quirks. I can share that knowledge with you as needed to help you better navigate the challenges. The more you’re clear on the details of your brain’s functioning, the more you can interpret how that impacts you personally and anticipate what you might need.
Let’s Get Going
You are the driver, and the car is your non-neurotypical brain. If you want a supportive, collaborative process to:
* Become more self-aware on your journey towards your personal goals,
* Develop the skills and systems to manage all the things, and
* Learn more about what science can help us understand about how our brains work.
Then you're in the right place. I'm happy to offer all that from the passenger seat.
Schedule a FIT CALL
Imagine you and me sitting at a big table in the open space of my studio. We’ve got mugs steaming in front of us, and we have a little bit of time to sit and talk. You’ll let me know what your needs are, and I’ll let you know what I do. And we’ll see how the two fit together. Always start with a fit call. There’s no charge, and you’ll get a glimpse inside my studio to see if working with me is right for you.
“First, find what works. It would be convenient if we could just tell you which strategy will work best for you, but you’ll probably find that different strategies work better on different days, and sometimes the strategy that works best isn’t practical day to day, so you need a backup strategy. You can probably already think of a few things that feel right, but experiment, then schedule that stuff into your day.”
