ADHD Coaching for entrepreneurs, Professionals, and Executives
replacing the struggle with clarity, follow-through and confidence
It’s not an Ability Problem
You already know what to do.
The gap isn't intelligence, effort or motivation.
The systems that got you here no longer scale with where you're trying to go.
This shows up as:
Strong bursts of focus, followed by unexplained drop-offs
Initiatives launched but not always completed on time
Busy days that don't move key outcomes forward
Impulsive calls or paralysis on important issues
A persistent sense you're operating well below what you’re capable of doing
The real limitation isn't your potential. It's making that potential show up consistently and on demand.
This is not a sales pitch.
We’ll talk briefly about what’s getting in your way, what you’ve already tried, and whether my approach makes sense for your situation. You do not need a diagnosis before reaching out.
The Entrepreneur Who Understands the ADHD Brain
Most executive coaches understand business. Most ADHD coaches understand the psychology. Very few bring both — from the inside.
I spent 25 years founding and running international companies. I served as President of EO Toronto and was selected for the Entrepreneurial Master's Program at MIT Sloan. I've operated under the same financial pressure, leadership complexity, and high-stakes decision-making my clients navigate every day.
I also have ADHD — and I didn't have that clarity until my 40s, when the gap between what I knew I was capable of and what I was actually doing became impossible to ignore.
That experience — combined with ten years of coaching and formal training in ADHD, neuroscience, and behavioral change — is what makes this work different from standard executive coaching and different from standard ADHD coaching.
Not theory. A tested, practical approach to execution — delivered by someone who has lived the environment you're in.

IT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION
Most of the entrepreneurs and professionals I work with aren't missing knowledge or effort. They're dealing with a specific set of ADHD-driven execution patterns — and those patterns can be changed. This call is about whether I'm the right person to help you do that.
Confidential. No pitch. You'll leave with clarity on whether working together makes sense.
The goal isn’t to “fix ADHD”
It’s to lead yourself more effectively, so your business, relationships, and health stop paying the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ADHD coaching for adults?
ADHD coaching is a forward-focused process that helps adults manage challenges like distraction, procrastination, and emotional overwhelm. We develop personalized strategies to build structure, increase focus, and improve daily functioning—both at work and at home.
Who benefits most from ADHD coaching?
I work primarily with adults—often entrepreneurs, professionals, and high achievers—who are bright and capable but feeling stuck. You may be navigating executive-level demands, relationship issues, or life transitions and need a structured, supportive process that works with (not against) your ADHD traits.
What happens in an ADHD coaching session?
Each session includes a tactical component (focused on productivity and daily challenges) and a strategic component using my Mindful Intelligence method, which helps you build clarity, emotional resilience, and long-term habits. You leave with a clear plan, not just insight.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Unlike therapy, which often looks to the past, coaching focuses on action and progress. We work together to develop systems and mindset shifts that help you move forward—especially in areas like time management, work-life balance, and emotional regulation.
how is mindfulness used in ADHD coaching?
Mindful Intelligence is the strategic half of each session. It’s about training your internal awareness system to notice your thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions—without judgment. Using mindfulness-based techniques, we build the ability to pause, reflect, and respond with intention rather than reactivity. This shift often leads to better decision-making, reduced stress, and greater personal alignment
Do you offer executive ADHD coaching?
Yes. My executive coaching is designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and business leaders who want to examine their leadership and business challenges through both an ADHD lens and the perspective of my 25+ years of experience running and scaling businesses. We work on strategic thinking, focus, decision-making, and emotional regulation—all while tackling real-world leadership demands. It’s a unique blend of practical business insight and ADHD-specific coaching that helps high-performers create structure, clarity, and sustainable success.
Do you only work with clients in Toronto?
I work with clients across Canada, the U.S., and internationally via Zoom. Whether you're nearby or across the globe, the coaching process is designed to meet you where you are—offering flexible, personalized support no matter your location.

FACILITATION FOCUS
From Self-Awareness to Self-Leadership
Grounded & experiential for EO/YPO forums and leadership teams
Beyond one-on-one coaching, I facilitate deep, transformative group work—often with leadership teams, peer groups, and entrepreneurial organizations like YPO and EO. The focus isn’t just on external strategies; it’s on helping you do the inner work that drives meaningful change.
Using tools like mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and my Inner Critic Framework, I guide participants to quiet the mental noise, identify limiting patterns, and cultivate greater self-leadership. These sessions are practical, experiential, and designed to create real-time insight—not just reflection.
Whether we’re navigating big decisions, building trust, or confronting resistance, the goal is the same: clear decisions, calm presence, and leadership that begins within.
