Jo Lee

I'm a well-qualified coach with personal experience as a neurodivergent leader, specialising in coaching leaders, executives and business owners with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other neurodivergences, who want to achieve a better balance between their professional performance, workload and personal wellbeing.

Coaching with me is about having illuminating and practical conversations that help you find new perspectives, make decisions, and develop new ways of working and living that help you work with your brain rather than against it, leaving you feeling more in control and able to perform at a high standard, without feeling guilty or burning out. 

 I can help you with things like:

• Improving management of heavy workload and reducing the long hours that may have resulted
• Developing strategies to support performance and overcome neurodivergent challenges with time management, procrastination, productivity, organisation, and variability in focus, energy & motivation - at work, at home, and in life in general
• Improving communication and managing relationships with colleagues and stakeholders
• Overcoming imposter syndrome and developing greater self-confidence
• Reducing stress and improving how you manage stress when it arises - including the impact of neurodivergent anxiety and RSD
• Developing strategies to help you manage high emotions
• Developing your career or business in a way that better fits with your own personal pattern of neurodivergent strengths and challenges
• Better understanding your strengths, how to work with them and developing the confidence to do things your own way
• Developing and managing boundaries that support you to improve your workload, overall wellbeing and work life balance.

My approach is predominantly solutions-focused and largely cognitive-behavioural in approach, using evidence-based approaches and models from positive psychology, clean language and transactional analysis.

I  work collaboratively with you to uncover and explore possibilities and solutions, and aim to offer a balance of support and challenge that you will find inspiring, effective and confidence-building.

I work with clients with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia (or any combination of these), whether or not a diagnosis has been made. I also often work with people who have been recently diagnosed or are currently seeking a diagnosis or assessment, and want support to come to terms with a new view of themselves and how this might impact on them in their career and their life in general.

How do we get started? 

Please get in touch with me to arrange a time for an informal initial conversation, which we can do by phone or on Zoom/Teams.

We’ll talk through your needs, get to know each other a little and decide whether we’re a good fit to work together, and then talk through practicalities like costs and frequency of sessions. 

Coaching is usually delivered as 90 minute sessions three-weekly, or 60 minute sessions fortnightly. The total amount of coaching is always flexible, but we will agree together what we believe is likely to be needed during our initial conversation: this is usually between four and twelve 90-minute sessions (6 to 18 hours of coaching in total). 

If you’d like to find out a bit more about me, my coaching, my experience and why I decided to leave a successful corporate career to become a self-employed coach, you’ll find more about all of these on my websites at https://lifeatlascoaching.com or https://joleecoachsupervisor.co.uk 

Fees vary depending on the nature of coaching (corporate-sponsored executive coaching v indvidually contracted personal coaching) and session length. 

Most commonly, coaching will take place as  90 minute sessions 3-weekly, or 60 minute sessions fortnightly. 

I offer a free, informal, introductory call to explore your potential coaching together - please contact me to book a time that works for us both.

I accept Access to Work funding for coaching.
