ADHD Business Coaching
For women with Sparky Brains!

Business strategy that works WITH your sparky ADHD brain

If you've ever wondered why the strategies that work for everyone else just… don't quite work for you, you're in the right place.

You're talented. Insightful. Full of ideas. You've built something real and you know you're capable of more.

But too often it feels so much harder than it should. Your focus is scattered. The ideas keep multiplying instead of distilling. Your confidence seesaws between "I've absolutely got this" and "who do I think I am?" And the gap between what you're capable of and what you're actually creating feels agonisingly, persistently frustrating.

I want you to know: you're not incapable. You're definitely not lazy. You're not failing at business.

You just have a sparky brain, and you've probably been trying to run things through systems designed for someone else entirely.

I know this because I am you!

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 53 - after more than 20 years in business. And the recognition that came with this was equal parts relief, grief, and a very belated “oh, THAT’s why….”.

It explained the idea avalanches. The energy spikes and crashes. The hyperfocus rabbit holes. The years of feeling like I was simultaneously too much and never enough.

This new knowledge changed both the core of my business and how I work with clients.

I'm Angela Raspass - a Business Strategist and Self-Leadership Mentor. I bring years of business strategy experience together with lived ADHD experience and formal ADHD coaching training (Goldmind Academy, UK).

I work with service-based businesswomen who are ready to understand their wiring and working with their natural strengths in a business that does good, feels good, and richly rewards you.

What's actually getting in the way?

When you have a sparky brain or have been formally diagnosed with ADHD, the usual business challenges show up with extra intensity, and they have a way of making you feel like the problem, when you're absolutely not.

  • Popcorn Brain

    Ideas fire constantly - which is genuinely one of your greatest strengths. But discerning which ones deserve your energy right now, and which belong in the "later" pile (or the bin), is hugely challenging. Implementation stalls not because you can't do it, but because something shinier and more enticing keeps arriving.

  • Priority Pinball

    You're bouncing between vision and tactics, taking lots of action but not quite gaining traction. The brilliant ideas are there. The intention is there. But your focus keeps moving before you have the chance to build visibility and momentum

  • The Confidence See-Saw

    You swing between "This is going to be brilliant" and "what on earth was I thinking, this sucks… actually I suck" - extremes often triggered by comparison, feedback that just doesn’t stick, or simply a week where things didn't go to plan. It's exhausting to ride, and it makes consistent decision-making hard.

These patterns tend to become especially sticky when you’re trying to stand out in a crowded market, build momentum, and owning the value you deliver.

That's why my work has the Elevated Impact Framework at its core - with sparky-brained awareness baked in!

What my ADHD Business Coaching clients say…

Patricia Falcetta | OAM
Founder of Social Living Solutions

"Angela brings a deep understanding of neurodivergence into her coaching, and because of that, she meets me where I am. She doesn’t set me up with unattainable action plans. Instead, she offers clarity, space, and realistic strategies that align with how I work best. Since working with her, I’ve experienced more progress and direction in my business than I have with any other coach”.

Leanne Shelton
Founder Human Edge AI

"As a fellow Sparky Brain, I knew Angela would get me without needing justification for how I jump from thing to thing. There was no judgment; rather, it was like having a light shone on my business - 'Have you thought of this? – She invited me to give my time and energy to the things that most mattered. Our mentoring time together just flew by, and I had so much more clarity. Angela gave me the bigger picture and helped me to see how to fit all the pieces together before going into the nitty-gritty.

She’s helped me to develop a great action plan which I can now take deeper – it was a fantastic experience!”.

The common challenges and strengths of  ADHD Business Owners |  ADHD Business Coaching with Angela Raspass

ADHD in Business:

I’ve learned a few things from my own sparky-brained experience and two decades of working with similarly wired women in business (a retrospective realisation - so many of my clients have been “sparky” and didn’t know it, just like me…!).

ADHD brings real challenges AND genuine gifts to business - neither can tell the full story on its own.

The challenges are real.

Overwhelm, scattered focus, decision paralysis, hyperfocus dives, procrastination that has nothing to do with laziness or incapability, and an emotional intensity that can make comparison debilitating and our inner narrative fierce enough to stop us in our tracks.

But so are the strengths.

Rapid ideation, creative problem-solving, big-picture thinking, deep empathy, adaptability, and a special kind of courage that comes from having navigated a harder path your whole life, often without knowing why.

The goal isn't to ignore the hurdles or only celebrate the gifts. It's to have strategies for both - so you're finally working with your brain and inherent style, not exhausting yourself fighting against it or beating yourself up for not being able to do things in ways you think “everyone else can”.

Helen McHugh
Founder Nurturing Nurses

"I’d been trying to launch my business for what felt like forever, but I just couldn’t get unstuck. I realised that, before I could focus on my business, I needed support with my ADHD. When I heard Angela on Tracy Otsuka’s podcast, I instantly felt she was the right fit.

Angela not only has extensive experience with business strategy, but she also understands ADHD firsthand and is in the recovery community. Her heart, humour, and expertise make her easy to work with, and you always feel she’s got you – even when your head is spinning.

I’m truly grateful I invested in her services; she provides incredible value and makes the journey enjoyable and impactful!”.

How we’ll work together

We begin with your Edge Advantage©

Because you can't build an ADHD friendly business until you truly understand what makes you uniquely valuable, and so we start with YOU, not with strategy.

Your Edge Advantage Profile shows:

  • Your Zone – Where you shine and feel energised

  • Your Presence – Your personal lens and leadership style that sets you apart

  • Your Traps – The thinking and behaviour patterns that can drain your energy and derail your growth.

My clients have said it's the first time they've felt truly seen as they've read their profiles.

The next steps

We then leverage this understanding to recalibrate your business model, reshape your positioning, refine your service suite, and develop your marketing around how YOU work best.

And that means less trying to work how you think you should… and much more ease, fun, and joy!

Our work is completely tailored to you and so our decisions are always made together - no dictating here! (though I’ll not shy away from making recommendations - I mentor and coach)

ADHD Business Coach for women - Angela Raspass

What I bring to our work together

A lot of business coaches don't understand ADHD - not really. They have good intentions and solid frameworks, but those frameworks were designed for neurotypical brains. When they don't work for you, it's easy to feel like you don’t measure up.

And many ADHD coaches haven't actually built businesses beyond their own practice. They absolutely understand the diagnosis and the challenges, but the strategic complexity of developing your differentiation framework, building an offer suite, finding your pricing sweet spot, elevating your positioning, and developing a marketing rhythm that leverages your strengths and honours your energy when you have a sparky-brain? That's very different territory.

I sit at the intersection of both.

I was diagnosed at 53, after more than 20 years in business - pre-diagnosis when I was unknowingly fighting my wiring, and post-diagnosis when I finally learned to work with it. That shift changed everything, and it shapes how I work now.

Alongside my formal ADHD coaching accreditation I have deep business strategy experience working across hundreds of businesses in wildly different industries.

But what my clients value most isn't the credentials. It's that they don't have to explain themselves because I get it - not theoretically, but wholeheartedly.

ADHD’ER BONUS!

Before we get started, I’ll send you a complimentary copy of my book, Your Next Chapter (Second Edition).

This updated edition is now infused with the sparky-brained lens and awareness I didn't have when I first wrote it - but I've lived into since my diagnosis.

“Angela has created something truly special with this updated edition of Your Next Chapter. When I first read the original book, long before Angela understood her brain through the lens of ADHD, I remember thinking, “This woman understands me.” So much of her insight spoke directly to my own experience as a late-diagnosed ADHD businesswoman. Now, with the benefit of her diagnosis and a deeper understanding of her “sparky-brained” wiring, Angela’s wisdom lands with even more clarity, compassion, and resonance”.

Tammie Horton
Founder of Phynix Effect

“I'd been spinning my wheels for two years trying to turn the multitude of ideas in my head into something marketable. I tried other coaches but they didn't resonate with how my neurodivergent brain works.

Then I worked with Angela in e full day session and I walked away with a clear path to get my work into the world - tangible actions I could actually implement!

What made the difference? Angela contained me with clear and gentle boundaries and gave me honest feedback in a way that my brain wouldn't reject. The Spark Advantage profile proved she understood me - I didn't have to explain myself.

I have clarity and a path I can see now and I'm continuing our work together - it’s great to have her on my support team.

Bec Higgins
Leadership & ADHD Coach

“I signed up for a strategic planning day and three months of coaching with Angela. The planning day was incredible - her tailored assessments created space for deep clarity and creative exploration. My brain was buzzing the whole drive home! As a fellow sparky-brained soul, my biggest challenge is staying on track. Angela's follow-up sessions provided exactly the structure and accountability I needed, always arriving at just the right moment.

While I initially hesitated at the investment, I quickly realised the value far exceeded the cost. I wholeheartedly recommend Angela to sparky-brained souls who need structure to turn ideas into action. She has a unique gift for combining strategic insight with genuine empathy”.

ADHD BUSINESS COACHING FAQ’S

Common questions about working with an ADHD Business Coach

  • No, you don't need a diagnosis. Many of my clients are “sparky-brained women” who've never pursued formal assessment but recognise themselves in the patterns - the scattered focus, the brilliant ideas that don't quite land, the confidence that seesaws between "I've got this!" and "What was I thinking?"

    If you identify with the challenges and strengths I describe, my ADHD-informed approach will serve you beautifully whether you have a diagnosis, are in the process of seeking one, or simply know your brain works differently.

  • Traditional business coaching naturally assumes your brain works in a linear, neurotypical way. The advice often sounds like: "Be more consistent." "Focus on one thing." "Create a detailed plan and stick to it."

    For ADHD brains, that's like asking a fish to climb a tree! It’s also a recipe for the gradual eroding of our confidence and enthusiasm.

    ADHD business coaching recognises that your brain is wired differently - and that's not a bug, it's a feature. We design strategies that work WITH your natural patterns, not against them. We acknowledge challenges like Priority Pinball and Popcorn Brain while leveraging your rapid ideation, creative problem-solving, and big-picture thinking.

    Strategy doesn't stick without self-leadership - and self-leadership starts with understanding how YOUR brain actually works.

  • ADHD coaches are often brilliant at helping with executive function skills, emotional regulation, and daily life management. But they haven't necessarily built businesses beyond their own practice or worked with the breadth of industries I have. That can make it harder to develop service suites, navigate pricing strategy, or crystallise invisible expertise into sellable offers.

    I bring 20+ years of business strategy experience - starting and growing my marketing agency from my solo desk to a small team of 5, co-operating a boat-share business, consulting to accounting associations across Australia and New Zealand and more. I've been in the trenches of business ownership both pre- and post-diagnosis (and woah, there IS a difference!)

    With me, you're not just getting ADHD support. You're getting seasoned strategic expertise from someone who knows what it's like to build a business with a sparky brain.

  • No! My work is for all established businesswomen who want to build businesses that do good, feel good and are richly rewarding.

    Many of my clients are sparky-brained (the descriptor I created to describe how we think and operate even before we realise we have different wiring) or know they have ADHD. Many aren't. What they share is a commitment to doing business differently - building something that serves their lives, not consumes them.

    I bring an ADHD-informed lens to all my work because understanding neurodivergence makes me a better strategist for everyone. But I don't exclusively serve ADHD clients, and you don't need to be neurodivergent to benefit from working with me.

  • This is the description Goldmind Academy in the UK, where I trained and received my ADHD Coaching accreditation, use. It signifies specialised training that bridges traditional coaching with neurodiversity-affirming care.

    And to me, it also means I customise HOW we work together to suit your brain, not just WHAT we work on.

    For example:

    • If you hyperfocus and then over-edit, we build in green lights to help you ship an idea, not perfect it

    • If decision paralysis keeps you stuck, we use frameworks like "Now, Next, Later" to navigate priority pinball

    • If you struggle with follow-through, we design personal “Tadpole Nibbling” and “Reverse Gapping” philosophies, to work in tandem with action plans

    • If Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) colours your experience, we unpack when and how it impacts you and find a gentle path through.

    All my core services are available with ADHD-informed customisation because of my own lived experience and formal training. You're not getting a separate "ADHD track" - you're getting the same strategic work, tailored to how YOUR brain operates.

  • It has many layers! But my core philosophy is simple: Strategy doesn't stick without self-leadership.

    You can have the most brilliant business strategy in the world, but if you don't understand your own patterns, strengths, and triggers - if you're constantly fighting your brain instead of working with it - nothing will stick.

    That's why my approach integrates:

    • Strategic clarity (knowing what to focus on and why)

    • Self-leadership foundations (understanding your brain, emotions, and patterns)

    • Customised implementation (designing systems that actually work for YOU)

    We start with your Spark Advantage Profile to map where you naturally thrive, what drains you, and where you get trapped. Then we build/rebuild a business mode, service suite and marketing strategies that leverage your strengths rather than forcing you into any “off the shelf” options.

  • Yes - because we're not starting with a system. We're starting with YOU.

    Most productivity systems are designed for neurotypical brains. When they don't work for you, it's easy to think "I'm the problem." But you're not broken. You've just been using the wrong tools. If I had a dollar for every planner, app, program, and solution I’ve tried that I was sure would “finally fix me”, I could retire already!

    That’s why we build a personal to you approach based on:

    • How YOUR brain actually works

    • What energises vs. drains you

    • Your values, strengths, and vision

    • What you're actually trying to achieve

    Some of my clients thrive with structure. Others need flexibility. Some need external accountability; others need autonomy. There's no one-size-fits-all - and that's exactly the point.

  • My honest answer? It depends on which service you choose and what you're working on.

    But here's what ALL my clients can expect:

    • Deep listening - I'll ask questions that help you see your own brilliance

    • Strategic clarity - We'll cut through the noise and identify what actually matters

    • Personalisation - Everything we create together is designed for YOUR brain and business - I will always meet you where you are at

    • Challenge AND support - I'll push you forward while holding space for how you work

    • Practical tools - You'll have access to proven frameworks, not just enjoyable conversations

    This is a strategic partnership designed to help you build a business that serves you just as much as you serve your clients.

  • Some shifts happen immediately. Others take time.

    After a 90-minute Catalyst Session, you'll walk away with clarity on your next strategic move. After a Recalibration Day, you'll have a roadmap for your next chapter. In ongoing FuelTime coaching, we're working on implementation and growth.

    I can't promise overnight transformations or specific $$$ results - and I never do, because that would demand a crystal ball. What I will promise is that you'll stop fighting your brain and start working with it. You'll replace constant action with actual traction. And you'll build a business that feels like you - not like someone else's template.

  • Book a Connection Call. It's free, theres no-pressure, and gives us both a chance to see if we're a fit.

    I'll ask about where you are now, where you want to be, and what's getting in the way. You can ask me anything about my approach, my experience, how I work, and anything else you’d like.

    If it feels right, brilliant - we'll talk about next steps. If it doesn't, that's okay too. I'd rather you find the right support than work with someone who isn't the right fit for you.
