About me

Be un-like minded. ADHD coaching for business leaders who think differently.

Are you:

  • A business leader who thinks differently but feels your unique approach isn't fully valued?
  • Running a business and managing a team while feeling overwhelmed by constant chaos?
  • Struggling to transform brilliant ideas into focused action and tangible results?
  • Looking to leverage your unique thinking style as your greatest advantage?
  • A founder looking for help and support to make a success of your business? 

Hello, I'm Chris
I'm an ADHD coach based in Leeds helping un-like minded business leaders to thrive. I'll be your coach, mentor and strategic advisor to help you gain clarity and direction by turning your unique abilities into exceptional strengths. I want to help you stand out, not fit in.

Whether you're neurotypical or neurodivergent, diagnosed or not, I'm here with you on the journey to Grow Your Greatness.

How I Could Help You
With my corporate background and understanding of both neurotypical expectations and neurodivergent perspectives, I help business leaders like you:

  • Gain clarity, direction, and confidence in your leadership role
  • Transform chaos into practical, actionable strategies that work in the real world
  • Thrive in your career or business on your own terms
  • Reframe ADHD as an asset and harness what makes you unique
  • Increase your productivity by working with your brain, not against it

As one client shared: "He doesn't just offer theoretical advice - he helps you create practical solutions that you can implement right away. His treasure trove of practical tips and tools have been incredibly useful."

My Journey
After a decade in the corporate world at companies like Intel and Walmart/ASDA, I found myself at a crossroads. The work was intellectually challenging, but something felt missing. I discovered my true energy came from helping others unlock their potential.

The corporate world often seemed designed for a different kind of thinker. Everything shifted when I supported C-suite leaders on strategic initiatives and mentored creative teams. My ability to see the big picture, ask fearless questions, and challenge conventional thinking wasn't just accepted – it was celebrated.

In these moments, I discovered my superpower: creating clarity from chaos and helping others utilize their own strengths to achieve what they truly wanted. Today, I combine my strategic mindset with a deep understanding of how different brains work to help you gain clarity, direction, and confidence.

My Approach
I work with you as the person at the centre - addressing mindset, leadership, and business challenges seamlessly rather than treating them as separate issues. My coaching combines practical business strategy with deep understanding of how your brain actually works.

As a certified executive coach and accredited ADHD coach with over 700 sessions under my belt, I'm passionate about helping you realise your full potential and overcome the obstacles so you can succeed in your business and career - all on your terms, not anyone else's.

Life's too short to spend it trying to fit in when you were born to stand out. Let's grow your greatness together.

Testimonials

"I'm new to coaching and before meeting Chris I was skeptical about the value it could offer. How wrong I was! Working with Chris has been the single most important step I've taken this year in developing my skills and confidence as a new business owner.

Knowing that I have Chris there to guide, challenge and support me is invaluable. Working with him gives me the confidence that I'm looking after my own development as well as looking after the business in the best way possible. His ability to challenge and guide me with the right balance is the measure of a brilliant coach." – Managing Director, BCAUSAM.

“Chris is an outstanding coach. He has a great way of working things out and explaining to me what he means in a simple and meaningful way. He sees things in me I don't see and have never thought about. I like the way he can make me think about things in a new light or new way." – Developer, Redsift

​“Chris has been a serious source of support in reigniting my passion for my business, following a period of significant stagnancy, sparked by a maternity leave and global pandemic. His approach is refreshingly direct and he is able to translate my meandering thoughts to get to the heart of what I am wanting to achieve. His expertise shines through in all aspects of his coaching, from challenging me to think more clearly and stretching my ambitions to get to my ‘why’. I would highly recommend working with Chris if you want to gain clarity, confidence and motivation towards your business goals!” – Managing Director, Inner Circles
