Watch this short video where I share my approach to coaching and mentoring neurodistinct professionals.
We are moving the conversation around neurodivergence from deficit to talent. Outside of the stereotypical language of “superpowers”, do you specifically know your talent?
Of course our neurodivergence is a “superpower”, but is that enough to truly know how we operate, how we show up at work, what we can contribute (and how), what we need and how to navigate an organization that isn’t optimized for the way we think? The obvious answer is “no”. My approach is about practically arming you with knowledge and insight that is easily applied at work.
Together, we will get specific about how your mind works, how you are motivated, your communication style, your physical needs in the workplace, how to advocate for yourself and, the unique talent that you have and how to use it effectively in your career. We will go far past theory to get practical and applicable, so that you can craft the career that you want.
- I work with young professionals (first 5 years post graduation) to set a strong foundation for their career.
- I work with established professionals to craft a fresh chapter in their career.
- Organizations often invest in coaching for their employees, you may want to check with your employer to see if this is a benefit they will cover for you.
- Parents often want to invest in adult children to ensure their success.

My Story
The theme for my entire career has been, “you don’t know me, and you’re not getting the best from me”. I said this even while I was winning awards for sales excellence, but what does it mean? It means that I was always hiding something and I was unable to bring my true cognitive self to work because it didn’t fit the corporate costume and I knew it. More than that, it means that corporate culture is not designed to manage people based on their strengths, it’s optimized to manage a relatively narrow range of behaviors, speech and activities in a homogenous manner. If you don’t naturally fit into that range, you are faced with the choice to either fit in, or be moved out. I always chose to fit in. What corporate culture also demanded, though, was that my thinking fit into that range as well, and my natural Autistic brain simply doesn’t work optimally in that range. Not only do I have Autism, but I have ADHD and have been tested in the gifted range. This is labeled as ‘twice exceptional’, which I only share to demonstrate that different is a label I can’t ignore. The energy required to mask/camouflage my Autism created a level of exhaustion that no one could see but that took a toll in the form of productivity and engagement. And still I was a top performer. So what could we have accomplished together if my energy was directed at all the right things?
This brief snapshot of my career is why I am passionate about partnering with other neurodistinct professionals to help them craft their career. I made plenty of mistakes along the way and I would like to show you how to avoid those, while tapping into the core of who you are. This will make you a more engaged, productive and satisfied employee and put you in charge of what you accomplish.
