Untangling Your Brain

Your ADHD isn’t going away. But that’s actually good news. With the right support systems and an engaging, fulfilling career, many successful adults learn to make their ADHD work for them, rather than against.

The ADHD Professional Profile

  • Unique brain wiring to view things from a larger perspective (big picture)
  • Natural problem solvers
  • Love brainstorming new ideas, products or services. Many ADHD adults are CEOs or founders of products and services needed in the world.
  • Enjoy taking abstract ideas and breaking them down into systems
  • Tendency to feel stuck with too many ideas

You don’t lack attention, your attention just may not always go to where other people want it to, which can cause tension in the workplace. I can help.

Adults with ADHD

How many times have you sat at your desk or looked around your work space and said or thought,

  • “What the _____ am I doing here? This is just not working anymore.”
  • “Why am I feeling overwhelmed and getting called on the carpet so often?”
  • “How can I find the right career for me with ADHD?”
  • “I have tried and failed many times and am so discouraged!”
  • “I am stuck in a dead-end job and need to do something else, but what?”
  • “I have lots of ideas but struggle to pick which one?”

ADHD Young Adults, College Students and Graduates

Time’s a-wasting. Are you missing the most significant piece of the career puzzle?

If you are an ADHD young adult, a college student in the process of deciding on your major leading to real work or college graduate who thought that simply getting that diploma would open doors, and are stuck in work that has nothing to do with what you thought you were signing up for, you’re missing a significant piece of the career puzzle.

Or if you’re a young adult who is ready to get out of your current rut before the golden handcuffs keep you (and your ADHD mind) stuck in a place that is just wrong, help is here.

Executives and Entrepreneurs with ADHD

If you are an executive or entrepreneur and you’ve been stuck and trying to figure out where to put all that creative energy, you can take a breath – help is here.

If you’ve been trying to decide if you should return to Corporate America in an executive position, a lateral position or in a position that is more satisfying overall, or if you are considering making a full on transition to another field, position or self-employment, Shell’s Parachute process will provide the “structure” you need to define who you really are and what steps you need to get there.

What is Career Coaching with Shell?

Learn to recognize and honor your strongest preferences in 7 career-defining areas

What to Expect

Freedom to Explore

  • A deeply personal process of structured soul-searching, aka, Career Therapy.
  • A judgement-free zone so you explore the fields you’re most interested in. No self-editing; no comparisons to others.

Emotional Support

  • A cheerleader, coach and counselor to help you put the pieces together, providing accountability and support.
  • ADHD/Life Coaching as needed to prepare you to discover and implement your next career trajectory.

Practical Application

  • Guidance on next steps, including informational interviews, internships or pursuing a degree.
  • Career Clarifier — a document outlining your core skills, interests and preferences for future career decisions.

What It’s Not:

  • A one-size-fits-all program; it’s a deeply personal process.
  • A linear progression. We’ll go up and down and around and loop around several times. There will be core things that keep surfacing. That’s when you’ll know you’re home.
  • A series of assessments or strengthsfinder tests. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you’ll love it.
  • An analysis of current job market trends or opportunities. We will define what matters to you so you can honor your preferences and tap into your talents.

If you’re managing a team or running a business, it can seem impossible to change course. I can help you truly consider all options, so your next move is aligned with your core beliefs. I help people in leadership roles pivot in their careers, whether it’s a new position, exploring entrepreneurship, or changing course in a business they own.

Not ready to commit?

I also offer group coaching as an affordable alternative, and brainstorming sessions for those who just need a little nudge.
