Support for capable women with ADHD
and for the workplaces
that rely on their leadership
Coaching and leadership development for capable, values-led women navigating ADHD and invisible cognitive load — so they can lead with clarity, steadiness and self-trust.
Why this work matters?
Many female leaders with ADHD are diagnosed later in life. By that stage, they are often already successful and quietly exhausted.
Common experiences include:
long-standing imposter syndrome
years of masking and
over-performancechronic self-doubt despite capability
hormonal shifts that amplify cognitive load
Coaching and psycho-education provide a space to make sense of this with clarity, compassion and accountability

I’m Yvette Annand, leadership trainer, coach, counsellor and culture change specialist with a background in behavioural research.
I spent over 20 years leading in high-pressure environments while masking, over-functioning and eventually burning out, before receiving a late ADHD diagnosis.
That experience shapes my work.
Today, I partner with organisations and experienced female leaders to develop leadership that is self-aware, sustainable and human. My approach blends psychological insight, strengths-based practice and neuroaffirming principles.
This is not about fixing people.
It’s about helping capable leaders work with their wiring, not against it.
