In today’s complex and fast-moving professional landscape, executives and leaders are expected to be innovative, emotionally intelligent, agile, and consistently high performing. For neurodivergent professionals, whether identified as autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, or other neurodivergent profiles. Leadership can offer unique opportunities to actualize your strengths and skills, and simultaneously bring unique challenges.
Executive coaching can be an incredibly powerful tool when it is the right kind of coaching, and traditional coaching models may not always suit every neurodivergent leader’s needs.
Why Traditional Coaching May Not Hit the Spot
Standard executive coaching frameworks are often based on neurotypical assumptions about approaches to time management, communication, motivation, and performance. While undoubtably meaningful and well-intentioned, such approaches may unintentionally promote deficits and conformity, rather than promoting strengths and adaption.
