Many people with ADHD struggle in their careers. But what if the problem wasn’t you…what if you’re just in the wrong job? People with ADHD are some of the brightest, most creative people in the world, but they have to play by their own rules. Using a proven process of self-reflection, I can help you unlock your full potential to find a meaningful and satisfying career.

If You’re Starting Over

Maybe you have no idea what you want to do, or maybe you have too many ideas. One thing’s for certain: life’s too short to dread work each day. Let me help you find a better path.

If You’re Starting Out

A college education costs roughly $45,000 to $200,000. Shouldn’t you define your career path before that investment? Start out in the right direction and save yourself from years of indecision or career misery.

Be who you are and love what you do.

As an ADHD adult, it’s not just important to feel good about your work every day, it’s critical. Research shows that when a person with ADHD engages in an activity of strong personal interest their symptoms diminish.

If you’re at a career crossroads, the question isn’t what are you good at, but rather what do you love? When you know that, you can be confident in every future career decision.

  • Love showing up to work every day
  • Feel confident you are on the right path for you
  • Learn to make decisions from the inside out, not relying on what others think
  • Honor your unique brain wiring to find satisfaction and fulfillment in your work
  • Grow confidence in choosing the best path for your unique brain-wiring throughout your career.

The Your Next Career Move MasterClass will help you in the following ways:

STEP 1: DISCOVER

Through 8  weekly Zoom calls and homework, plus, and with the help of, one of the most ADHD -friendly course books on the market, we’ll honestly explore options while uncovering the fields that fascinate you most, including those you thought were beyond reach. You will be joined by a small group of cohorts (4-6) on their own career defining journey, who understand you and will become your support system throughout this process.

STEP 2: DEFINE

Over the course of 8 weeks, you’ll develop your Career Clarifier of Career Galaxy, a tool through which you can filter all future career decisions based on your core interests, “must haves” and skills. You’ll find the right path and stay on course.

STEP 3: LAUNCH

Once you have developed your Career Galaxy, I help you identify and take the next steps through the Bonus Call following your 8 week journey. Know and articulate what you want in your career, and find your confidence and sustainability.

What are you waiting for?

Why the YOUR NEXT CAREER MOVE MASTERCLASS?

There are a lot of free or inexpensive courses out there. But people with ADHD get the best results from COACHING, INTERACTION AND INSTRUCTION. And with others on their own personal paths, that build confidence.  I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance, the Neurodivergent community can find happiness and fulfillment at work and become the person you are meant meant to be.

Finding success with fractured focus can be difficult.

Maybe you struggle with perfectionism or overwhelm. Or maybe you’re holding onto false beliefs about your abilities.

I can relate. I have ADHD, too.

After years as a career coach, I dedicated my practice to helping ADHD adults after my own diagnosis in 2010. Holding a master’s in counseling with an emphasis on career, I have helped more than 700 clients find fulfillment in their work over my 30+ year career. I’m also trained by Richard Bolles, author of the best-selling career book of all time, What Color Is Your Parachute?
