Rewrite your ADHD story; Recalibrate your business

Did someone steal the map?!

If your business or career journey feels more like a winding path than a straight line, you’re not alone - and you’re in the right place.

At 53, my ADHD diagnosis shifted everything for me. Suddenly, the twists, turns, and impulsive pivots that had shaped my life and career finally made sense. The patterns I had struggled to understand - self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and constant restless shifts in focus - weren’t failures. They were signs of a brain wired for novely, creativity, innovation, and connection.

ADHD isn’t a flaw. It’s a different way of thinking that, when embraced, can unlock extraordinary growth and fulfilment.

The dual reality
of ADHD in business.

ADHD brings real challanges and unique gifts.

  • Challenges: Overwhelm, scattered focus, decision paralysis, hyperfocus traps, perfectionism and over-editing, procrastination and avoidance, difficulty with follow-through, and emotional disreglation.

  • Gifts: Rapid ideation, out-of-the-box problem-solving, boundless energy, unmatched creativity, big-picture thinking, inutitve problem-solving, high empathy and emotional insight, adaptability, magnetic charisma, and admirable courage.

The key isn’t to ignore the hurdles or focus only on the benefits - it’s to build strategies that work with your brain, not against it. 

The Potential Gap - where growth begins

The world often talks about the “pain gap” - what’s broken or needs fixing. I choose to focus on the “potential gap” instead.

This is the space between where you are now and what's possible when you embrace and leverage your sparky-brain strengths. ADHD isn’t a detour or a roadblock - it’s part of the map itself. Let's navigate this new territory together.

The Late-Stage ADHD Diagnosis Cycle

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life can feel like a rollercoaster. I created the Late Stage ADHD Diagnosis Cycle© to capture the emotional journey I went on - perhaps it will resonate with you too:

  • Surprise: “Oh! Really? This explains SO much!”

  • Relief: “So there was an actual reason I felt and did XYZ…”

  • Sadness: “Things might have been so different…”

  • Anger: “Why the HELL wasn’t this picked up earlier?!”

  • Acceptance: “Ok, I need to let go and move forward.”

  • Adjustment: “What changes will I make, and what support do I need?”

Wherever you are in this cycle, I see you. Lets create a unique map for your next chapter in business.

Kelly White – ADHD Self-leadership Mentoring

“I first heard Angela speaking as a guest on an ADHD podcast, and I was instantly inspired. I felt stuck in my busy life and thought she could guide me into a deeper understanding of myself and where I wanted to go. 

Angela has exceptional listening skills and an incredible ability to get to the heart of things. Through our work together, I’ve gained so much. My vision is clearer, and I now have more self-compassion and self-understanding. I feel more confident and positive, no longer stuck in a rut. I’m kinder to myself, which has allowed me to achieve more without feeling frazzled.

I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for greater self-understanding or guidance in navigating a new direction in life. Thank you so much, Angela, for your unwavering commitment and support!”

My unique approach: Strengths, Self-Leadership & Positive Psychology 

I combine three powerful lenses to help women like you rewrite their ADHD story and create a thriving, fulfilling business.

I believe in frameworks, not formulas - so no cookie-cutter solutions here. Together, we create something that truly fits YOU.

Harnessing your strengths

Redesigning my business to leverage my strengths was one of the most transformative moves I made after my diagnosis.

Your unique combination of ADHD strengths becomes your differentiator and your superpowers. When we focus on what you naturally do well, you’ll:

  • Build confidence by quieting the inner critic.

  • Create strategies and systems that align with your talents, reducing overwhelm.

  • Experience greater productivity, energy, and joy.

I'm an accredited Cappfinity Strengths Profiler, and a Strengths Assessment and debrief is always a part of our work together.

A Self-leadership lens can transform your perspective

I’ve found (retrospectively) that one of the central challenges of ADHD is a lack of self-trust, which manifests itself in believing someone or something “out there” has the right answers for us.

Practising Self-leadership

ADHD, especially when we’re not even aware of it until later in life, often leaves us searching for external validation. Through my framework, you’ll:

Here’s how my Self-leadership Framework helps transform ADHD traits into tools for empowerment:

  • Gain clarity on your priorities, values, and decision-making criteria.

  • Navigate emotional triggers with resilience and self-compassion.

  • Create intentional action plans that align with your goals and capacity.

When you practice self-leadership, ADHD can take you to your growth edges rather than being a constant barrier to your success.

The power of
Positive Psychology for ADHD'ers

Positive Psychology invites us to shift our focus from what's missing to what's possible, empowering us to embrace our unique wiring and craft strategies that turn potential into progress.

Using a Positive Psychology lens.

Positive psychology helps you shift the focus from challenges and deficit thinking to possibilities by:

  • Turning ADHD traits like rapid ideation into tools for innovation.

  • Building resilience through reframing setbacks.

  • Softening perfectionism and overthinking by celebrating progress over perfection.

A Positive Psychology lens helps us harness our uniqueness for significant business impact.

How we can
work together

I don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Together, we’ll:

  1. ASSESS: Understand what’s worked (and hasn’t) to define your next chapter.

  2. REFINE: Identify the strategies, systems, and support you need.

  3. ELEVATE: Create a plan tailored to your strengths for meaningful action.

Our work will combine frameworks and strategies designed for your unique brain and goals.

Please note: Although I have been providing strategy and mentoring business owners for 20 years, I am not a certified ADHD Coach. My own lived experience and work with other ADHD'ers who connected with me after listening to my interviews on ADHD for Smart Ass Women and ADHD Womens Wellbeing Podcasts guide my approach.
