Creative Minds and ADHD
Supporting creative minds
My Straight Lines and Scribbles™ approach is rooted in a deep understanding of how we all think, work and thrive differently.
I’ve worked alongside people as an HR leader, career coach and Strengthscope practitioner and value the different thinking and working styles. I know that when people lean into their strengths, they thrive and performance improves.
Many creatives think in scribbled lines, generating endless possibilities. This fuels innovation, but can also make it harder to prioritise and decide what to focus on first.
With growing awareness of neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, many of my clients recognise traits in themselves. This understanding often explains why certain aspects of corporate life feel challenging and highlights where the right support can make a real difference.
Having supported many neurodivergent thinkers, I provide practical coaching and scaffolding that helps creatives to:
Stay focused and motivated in high-pressure environments
Manage overwhelm and find balance
Articulate their value, communicating clearly and confidently
Build systems and processes that work with their brains, not against them
I have inattentive ADHD myself, so know first hand how difficult it can be for scribbled-line thinkers to fit into a straight-line thinking world. I also have extensive experience in creating environments where different ways of thinking and working are accepted, embraced and supported so that everyone thrives.
