I’m currently working with a client who was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) due to underperformance at work. We’re moving fast to build foundational skills in time management, planning, prioritisation, productivity, and stress regulation – all through an ADHD lens.
This week he emailed me:
“Thank you again for sharing these techniques – they’ve been really helpful in building awareness, resilience, and confidence. I feel more in tune with how my brain works, and I’m learning to approach myself with more patience and care.”
That shift is remarkable – especially because when someone with ADHD is under high stress, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s “control centre” for planning, organisation, working memory, and decision-making) often goes offline. In other words: the very skills required to “fix the problem” become harder to access under pressure.
The bigger message:
Life is a full-contact sport.
If you’re living at full throttle without ADHD-friendly systems for time management, planning, prioritisation, and productivity you may be headed for a crisis.
The good news is that ADHD coaching doesn’t need to take months or years.
In as little as five sessions, clients can learn the core skills they need to stay out of the danger zone – and prevent the PIP, burnout, shutdown, or resignation before it happens.
Let’s change the trajectory before the crisis hits.
