You’re Not Broken

Traditional leadership development isn't built for how neurodivergent brains work.

You've been trying to fit into a mold that wasn't made for you—and it's exhausting.

The constant masking. The executive function gymnastics. The overthinking every interaction. That's not a personal failing. That's the wrong framework.

Your differences aren't obstacles to overcome—they're competitive advantages waiting to be leveraged:

  • Your ability to see patterns others miss

  • Your systems thinking and architectural mindset

  • Your hyperfocus when properly channeled

  • Your unconventional problem-solving approaches

You don't need to change who you are. You need to learn how to translate your neurotype into leadership impact.

What You’ll Get:

  • Full Hogan Assessment suite ($2,000 value) - Map your cognitive and leadership patterns

  • 6 monthly cohort sessions with 11 other Director+ neurodivergent leaders

  • 3 private 1:1 coaching sessions for your specific challenges

  • Proprietary frameworks - MVR, Choice Architecture, SPARK (not available anywhere else)

  • Trusted peer network who understand your experience without explanation

  • Digital toolkit with templates, resources, and ongoing Slack community access

Is This Right for You?

This cohort is designed for:

  • Director+ neurodivergent executives (ADHD, autism, etc.)

  • Leaders ready to invest 6 months in their development

  • Those who value peer learning alongside individual coaching

  • Executives tired of masking who want sustainable leadership frameworks

This is NOT for you if:

  • You're looking for quick fixes or surface-level tips

  • You're below Director level (we maintain cohort peer quality)

  • You want therapy (this is coaching, not clinical support)

  • You're not willing to do the work between sessions

The Only Program That Gives You Both

Map your neural patterns through Hogan debrief, neuroscience foundations, and strength identification. Introduces Intrinsic Wayfinding, Energy Management, and Choice Architecture frameworks.

Month 2 - Strategic Unmasking

Develop authentic executive presence, disclosure strategies, and communication approaches that honor your processing style – without the exhaustion.

Month 3 - Systems Design

Create sustainable work systems using the MVR methodology. Build executive function support, calendar architecture, and delegation strategies that work with your brain, not against it.

Month 4 - Navigating Politics & Power

Use your natural strengths to navigate complex organizational dynamics. Decode unwritten rules, map stakeholders, and build political capital authentically and strategically.

Month 5 - Leading Through Your Wiring

Build high-performing teams while managing perfectionism and RSD. Develop delegation strategies and create psychological safety that leverages your neurotype.
