About me
I offer personalised coaching solutions to empower individuals and organisations to thrive in their professional journeys. With a focus on strengths-based development and a deep understanding of the importance of authenticity, I help clients achieve improved performance, enhanced leadership, and greater career fulfillment.
As a highly successful ADHDer who specialises in working with neurodiverse clients, I bring a unique perspective and understanding to my coaching practice.
Some key features of Serena services include:
Personalised Coaching: Tailored one-on-one coaching sessions for early career professionals, new leaders, leaders of leaders, and senior executives.
Strengths-Based Approach: Focuses on identifying and leveraging individual strengths to drive personal and professional growth.
Neurodiversity and ADHD Coaching: Helping individuals harness their neurodiversity and ADHD to excel and communicate, create habits that serve them, and enable success.
ADHD + Addiction Coaching: ADHD and addiction coaching explores the link between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addictive behaviours. These can range from substance misuse to behavioural addictions like overeating or skin picking. Late-diagnosed individuals often use these behaviours to cope with underlying ADHD challenges, such as emotional regulation difficulties, impulsivity, or boredom. My coaching approach focuses on understanding the unique neurobiology of ADHD and finding alternative, healthier coping mechanisms to build a fulfilling life free from addiction.
Expertise in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI): Offers specialised coaching and training to help leaders create more inclusive workplaces.
Presentation and Public Speaking Coaching: Empowers individuals to communicate with confidence and impact.
High-Performing Team Coaching: Helps teams improve collaboration, communication, and overall performance.
Serena's mission is to cultivate meaningful and rewarding careers, fostering enhanced happiness and success for their clients.
