Is your ADHD a blessing or a curse?
Is Neurodiversity new to you or are dealing with the same old habits and traits which you can't seem to make change? Are you at the point of burnout but not sure exactly how you got here?
Establishing a healthy relationship with your diagnosis is the key to a happy, fulfilling life at home and in the workplace.
Understanding your ADHD and Neurodiversity and master your power, to learn what is happening and how to control it.
Neurodiversity to Neurodynamic
Have you found yourself in a lifestyle that really isn’t working for you and you cannot take control and regain your strength. Are you letting your reactions play out without you responding in a healthy manner? Do you want to use your skills of hyperfocus to get the best out of it you can? Do you want to channel your creativity? Are you too impulsive? Does your compassion and empathy need channeling and time to implement some boundaries? Procrastination time to think or time to waste – how can you use this productively ? Do you just slip in to the easiest form of happiness but find that it is just short lived?
Is it time to learn to drive yourself and not be driven by your impulsive urges?
It is so easy to get stuck in this negative cycle as it is a habit that you have perfected over years. Now is the time to take action and become aware of what is actually happening and turn your negatives to strengths. Your anxiety can be managed once you understand what is behind it. Learning your strengths with ADHD is imperative to establishing a good relationship with yourself. Enjoy your creavitivity – work with your hyper-focus. To fully explore your possibilities and know how to use your strengths and in time learn to be proud of your unique qualities. This is a new muscle that need to be worked on and it will grow from within you. Appreciate how your mind is different and turn this uniqueness in to an asset.
I have worked with many people who find the joy in what they do and master their inner voice to grow in the direction they deserve.
The workplace can be a stressful environment. Noise, systems, people all coming and going around you. Learning to manage what you can cope with and what you can’t starts with you. Have you returned to work a few days a week? Or is it better to work from home?
What are your triggers?
How do you resist your impulses?
Is your sensitivity holding you back? Does your sensitising cause some relationships to crash?
Do you want to learn to respond calmly rather than reacting?
How do you manage your work relationships?
Is this something that needs reflecting on to get the most out of your career?
Learning to identify and work with our abilities through explorative mind expanding conversations can work towards the direction you want to be going and finding achievable goals. You have learnt resilience with your ADHD now is the time to use it productively.

Whether you have had a recent diagnosis or perhaps there is no need for a diagnosis and you have known for many years coming to terms with being different can be daunting in today’s fast paced world. The world is changing but perhaps not as fast and as welcoming as we would like.
I watched ‘The playlist’ on Netflix and enjoyed seeing how Neurodiversity shone through the growth of Spotify’s business like a shining star but it wasn’t always straight forward.
Learning to work with our strengths and develop our skill is really the key to a successful personal and professional life.
I work with individuals who are able to see they are different. However, they are unable to see and appreciate their skills, talents and pathways. Often believing they are unworthy, can’t allow themselves to reach for success, become risk adverse and lose energy easily.
This journey for you is to discover what doors lay unopened and what opportunities are possible.
Neurodiversity and ADHD has given us challenges – but hey we can use these learnt skills to our advantage – who said being different is bad…..its just different? Our Neuro transmitters are different and learning how they work is key. Learn to connect with yourself in a better way. Sometimes it’s not about fitting in it’s about being there, standing strong and being able to offer something fresh, alternative and exciting. Often a perspective from an ADHD individual is way above the neuro-typical and this is a skill to be encouraged

Testimonials
Natalie

Juliet was incredibly accommodating and professional but very warm in nature. After a recent ADHD diagnosis I felt a bit overwhelmed and sought some coaching. Juliet made me recognise my strengths and made me feel very capable again. She also contacted me out of sessions with interesting thoughts or articles, which showed she genuinely cared and wanted me to grab life again. I also learnt some tips to catch myself in negative thinking and to trust myself more”

I began working with Juliet because I felt I was plateauing in some aspects of my career development. As a dyspraxic person, I had worked very hard to develop strategies to overcome some of the challenges associated with having this lifelong condition within a professional workplace. After a promotion, I began receiving challenging feedback at work and was struggling to understand what I needed to do in order to address these and continue my development.
Juliet’s coaching helped me to understand how my emotions were affecting my wellbeing and performance at work. She helped me develop a toolkit of strategies to help me manage and regulate my emotions at work. Previously in my career, I conceived of emotional intelligence and soft skills as relating to how I read and respond to other people’s emotions. Juliet has helped me to understand that it is also about how I understand and regulate my own emotions.
I liked that Juliet created an environment in which I could share openly and be completely transparent about my challenges. As well as helping develop strategies to address my challenges and weaknesses, she also guided me to remember my strengths, built my self-confidence and served as both a coach and a mentor.

‘Before my first coaching session with Juliet I was feeling lost in my career and wasn’t sure how to move forward. Through our regular sessions she helped me to understand what I enjoy doing and how to get the best out of my current role. We spent a lot of time working on finding the confidence for me to be bolder in meetings, which has made a huge difference to me. I always looked forward to our sessions as a great opportunity for me to reflect and refocus. Juliet is very approachable and asks thought provoking questions, I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a career coach.’
