ADHD-informed Business Coaching
For business owners
Business strategy that works WITH your sparky brain, from someone who's built businesses both pre- and post-diagnosis.
You're talented, insightful, and full of ideas.
You've built something real - a business that serves clients, generates revenue, and proves you know what you're doing.
But some days it feels harder than it should.
The ideas are there (sometimes too many!) The passion is there. The capability is absolutely there.
What I’ve often found missing is:
Business strategy designed for how our ADHD brains actually work.
Not generic "productivity hacks" that assume everyone thinks the same way.
Not surface-level time management tips that ignore how your energy and focus actually fluctuate.
And definitely not cookie-cutter business frameworks that leave you feeling like you're trying to fit into someone else's system.
You need strategy that works WITH your wiring, not against it.
That's exactly what I provide.
Why Work With Me?
The ADHD Business Coach Advantage
Most business coaches don't understand ADHD.
They mean well, but they offer models, systems, and marketing designed for neurotypical brains - and then you feel like you're failing when they just don't stick.
Most ADHD coaches haven't built businesses.
They understand the diagnosis, but they haven't navigated the strategic complexity of growing multiple six-figure service-based businesses, not just a coaching practice.
I've done both.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 53 - after building and running businesses for over 20 years
I co-founded and grew a marketing agency, then made the strategic decision to close it
I co-run Sailtime Australia with my husband
I've served as a marketing consultant to DFK accounting association across Australia and New Zealand
I've navigated major business pivots, recalibrations, and next chapters - both before and after my diagnosis
Deep business strategy experience (I’ve been consulting, coaching & mentoring since 2003)
Lived ADHD experience (I know what it's like to manage a late-stage diasgnosis)
Formal ADHD coaching training (certified through Goldmind Academy in the UK)
A strengths-based approach that helps you leverage your sparky-brained edge, not "fix" yourself
I don't just understand ADHD in theory - I've been in business for 25 years with this sparky brain - pre-diagnosis when I was fighting my wiring, and post-diagnosis when I learned to work with it.
That's the advantage of working with me.
This means I bring something rare to the table:
ADHD in Business: The Dual Reality
ADHD brings real challenges AND unique gifts to business ownership.
The Common Challenges:
Overwhelm & scattered focus (too many ideas, not enough follow-through)
Decision paralysis (what if I pick the "wrong" idea?)
Hyperfocus traps (getting lost in details and over-editing instead of moving forward)
Procrastination & avoidance (not because we're lazy, but because urgency fuels action)
Emotional intensity (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria makes feedback feel like a gut punch)
And Awesome Strengths:
Rapid ideation & creative problem-solving (we see connections others miss!)
High energy & drive (when we're engaged, we're unstoppable)
Big-picture thinking (we don't just follow trends; we create them)
Deep empathy & emotional intelligence (connection and impact matter to us)
Adaptability, resilience & courage (we've been navigating challenges our whole lives)
The key isn't ignoring the hurdles or only celebrating the benefits - it's building strategies that work WITH your brain, not against it.

Why Strategy Alone Isn't Enough For Us
There’s something really important I've learned after 20+ years in business, both pre- and post-ADHD diagnosis:
Strategy doesn't stick without self-leadership.
The strategy piece? That's often the easier part. You're smart, you're creative, you can see possibilities everywhere.
The harder part is building the inner capacity to actually narrow your focus and execute on the best possibilities for you and your market- to stay on course, to make decisions confidently, and to keep moving forward even when things feel uncertain or overwhelming… or dare I say it, when the novelty has worn off.
Business strategy tells you WHERE to go. Self-leadership gives you the capacity to actually GET there.
How We’ll Work Together
We begin with your Spark Advantage©
Because you can't build an aligned business until you truly understand what makes you uniquely valuable. we start with YOU, not strategy.
The Spark Advantage Profile is my proprietary diagnostic process that reveals your unique edge - I personally combine the insights from specific assessment tools into a personalised guide that shows:
Your Spark Zone - Where you shine and feel energised
Your Spark Edge - What makes your contribution unique and valuable
Your Spark Traps - The patterns that drain your energy or keep you spinning
My clients have said it's the first time they've felt truly seen as they've read their profiles.
We then leverage this understanding to design your bespoke business model, shape your positioning, and create your marketing around how YOU work best.
Throughout Our Work, We’ll Be Building Your Self-leadership Anchors
Transporting you from the shifting sands of external validation to the rock-solid anchor of your own inner authority is what makes strategy actually stick.
We strengthen your capacity across five key areas:
Self-Knowledge - Understand your patterns, strengths, and needs (especially the ADHD-specific ones you've been navigating for years)
Emotional Dexterity - Respond with intention instead of reactivity (so you can make decisions from clarity, not panic)
Flexible Thinking - Loosen all-or-nothing patterns and see new possibilities (moving beyond "perfect or nothing")
Intentional Action - Choose meaningful next steps, not just urgent ones (cutting through the noise and enticing bright shiny options to focus on what actually matters)
Vitality Cultivation - Protect your energy, capacity, and mental wellbeing (because sustainable success requires sustainable practices)
For us ADHD business owners, these foundations are essential because you often experience amplified versions of common business challenges.
Our emotional sensitivity means comparison, second-guessing our decisions, and doubting ourselves are likely to feel far more intense. Self-leadership gives you the capacity to navigate these challenges without burning out, giving up, or being taken off-course.
When you combine strategic clarity with self-leadership capacity? You become unstoppable.
My Philosophy on ADHD in Business
My approach also calls upon positive psychology - specifically adapted for how ADHD brains work. Read more about my ADHD in Business philosophy here.
This is what my 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!”.
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!”.
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”.
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.

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 at 53.
“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”.

What’s One Simple Shift You Can Make Today?
Stop Trying to "Be More Consistent" - Be More Intentional Instead
I encourage you to make this one small shift that can have a significant impact: Instead of forcing yourself into rigid productivity models, focus on being more intentional.
Ask yourself: What's ONE thing I can do today that actually moves the needle?
If you struggle with Priority Pinball: Pick just ONE task and set a "Mini Win" goal (e.g., "Draft the first 200 words of my blog," not "Write an entire blog") I call this “Nibbling on the Tadpoles” - getting lovely wee hits of dopamine BEFORE you try to “eat that frog” ie: tackle the big task.
If the Confidence See-Saw has you second-guessing: Try future pacing - "What would Future Me thank me for doing today?"
If your Popcorn Brain is in overdrive: Use a "Now, Next, Later" filter - Does this idea need action now, can it wait until next, or should it go into the later pile?
When you work WITH your brain instead of against it, everything changes.
