My vision is for neurodiversity to be as recognised and as accepted as racial diversity and sexual diversity, and for neurodivergent people to be celebrated rather than either ignored or commiserated with for their ‘deficits’.<\/p>\n
As well as coaching, I’ve been a freelance writer, editor, proofreader and book project manager for over two decades. As a result, I have a particular interest in helping neurodivergent clients to unlock their innate creativity in business and in their leisure time, and to manage their finances and\/or businesses in a way that’s aligned with their own particular values, needs and strengths.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tI was very hesitant to try coaching… but when nothing else worked I decided to give it a try. I wish that I had started sooner. Talking to someone, a fellow neurodivergent, who just gets it, is SO powerful!\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

My vision is for neurodiversity to be as recognised and as accepted as racial diversity and sexual diversity, and for neurodivergent people to be celebrated rather than either ignored or commiserated with for their ‘deficits’.<\/p>\n
As well as coaching, I’ve been a freelance writer, editor, proofreader and book project manager for over two decades. As a result, I have a particular interest in helping neurodivergent clients to unlock their innate creativity in business and in their leisure time, and to manage their finances and\/or businesses in a way that’s aligned with their own particular values, needs and strengths.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tI was very hesitant to try coaching… but when nothing else worked I decided to give it a try. I wish that I had started sooner. Talking to someone, a fellow neurodivergent, who just gets it, is SO powerful!\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

\n\t\tI found the PowerTypes a revelation – you don’t have to battle through life the ‘hard way’! There are alternatives that feel more natural, that helped me feel more at ease and in flow and to move away from burnout. Amanda’s personalised, tailored guidance on how best to use these to support me with my particular autism and ADHD challenges was invaluable.\n\t<\/h2>\n\t
