Why it Matters to Work with an ADHD-Friendly Business Coach
I recently connected with two inspiring business coaches, Stephanie Wasylyk and Justine Clay, who focus on supporting entrepreneurs with ADHD traits. Surprisingly, both are neurotypical, offering fresh perspectives that challenge the assumption that only those with ADHD can coach others with the condition. Our conversation highlighted the importance of inclusivity, flexible systems, and viewing ADHD as a part of one’s identity—not the whole story. We discussed the pitfalls of over-identification, the power of creating tailored support systems, and how empathy and adaptability are at the heart of effective coaching. Whether neurodivergent or not, great coaches help clients embrace their creativity, resilience, and unique potential.
