Coaching female leaders with ADHD to lead and live with strength and clarity
At Thriving inSight, we help you move towards self-acceptance of your ADHD wiring through self-awareness and regulation, so you can lead and live with ease and inner strength.
Lead with clear awareness of who you are and how you show up
I’m Yvette, leadership trainer, coach, counsellor and mindfulness teacher - and a late-diagnosed “ADHDer” who spent 20 years navigating high-pressure leadership whilst masking, over-performing and burning out.
Now, I support women to lead in an aligned, grounded way true to who they are. We use the power of strengths profiling, we grow self-awareness and use a neuroaffirming approach that encourages acceptance and grows agency.
Clients often ask why be so gendered and exclusive? I have and do work with male leaders, but now focus on where I can make the most impact in the workplace.
My perspective is that female leaders struggle more with :
late-diagnosis causing all kind of additional issues
chronic imposter syndrome,
pressure to mask; and
fluctuating hormone cycles and menopause that impact ADHD traits

My Core Approach: The 3A’s
Some days an ADHD mind can feel like a busy train station at peak hour — thoughts, emotions and self-criticism arriving all at once. That can change on the time of the month or the stage of your life.
Our 3A’s approach is grounded in behaviour-change theory and ACT -Acceptance and Commitment therapy. It builds the internal insight needed to shift long-held patterns working with your wiring not fighting against it.
FAST: A Framework for Sustainable Leadership
For each client we build our own coaching journey using a simple scaffold to create a strong safe container. It is called FAST - it’s quick in impact, but we actually slow our client’s mind down to allow deep insight and focus on transformation:
Strengths Profile
Discover the comprehensive Strengths Profile assessment, a powerful tool designed to help you understand your unique personal and professional landscape. It goes beyond identifying what you’re good at and explores what truly energises you, what you do effectively but is draining, and helps you mitigate things that are challenging. This holistic view enables you to leverage your natural talents, develop new ones, and manage potential energy that drains more effectively.

I now lead in ways
that energise me, not deplete me.”
