Empowering neurodiverse women to become bold Self-leaders: Insights that redefine success.
"Angela inspires women to reframe ADHD as a strength, not a setback, by blending personal stories, professional expertise, and powerful strategies for growth".
At 53, my ADHD diagnosis reshaped how I understood my journey and sparked a mission to empower neurodiverse women.
Drawing on two decades of expertise in business strategy, marketing, and personal growth, I inspire audiences to transform challenges into opportunities. My presentations blend professional insights with the lived experience of navigating a late-stage ADHD diagnosis, showing how self-leadership and embracing neurodiversity can unlock extraordinary impact.
This diagnosis illuminated the "why" behind so many of my decisions, behaviours, successes, and challenges and, more importantly, ignited a passion for helping others navigate their own neurodiverse paths out of Perpetual Potential.
As a self-leadership coach, business strategist, speaker, and author, I combine lived experience, studies in positive psychology and neuroscience, and decades of business mentoring. I guide sparky-brained women - business owners, career professionals, and those “between the trapezes” of life - toward clarity, confidence, and impact.
Through podcast appearances like ADHD for Smart Ass Women (USA), The ADHD Women’s Well-Being Podcast (UK), and ADHDifference (NZ), my story has resonated with neurodiverse audiences worldwide, sparking a wave of contact from women seeking to recalibrate their self-maps and thrive in alignment with their strengths.
