Jo Lee -
Executive Neurodiversity Coach &
Coach Supervisor

Illuminating conversations that help you make lighter work of success.

  • Executive Coaching
  • Coaching Supervision
  • Neurodiversity Specialist

Welcome

Based in the Heart of the UK Midlands, I’m an experienced and qualified executive coach, and coach supervisor. I coach leaders and executives with ADHD and other neurodiversities, and supervise neurodivergent coaches and coaches working with neurodivergent clients.

I partner with you in a refreshingly honest, straight-forward, energetic and positive way to help you shine the spotlight on what works well for you, identify what could work better, so you feel in control and can make lighter work of your professional performance and success.

My Approach

Whether coaching or supervising, I aim to offer you a finely balanced combination of support, challenge and inspiration that will stretch and develop your thinking and performance in new ways, so you achieve greater results, success and satisfaction. 

Working with you I bring, as you’d expect, a finely tuned listening ear and a bag full of curiosity, but also a naturally energetic, chatty and warm personality.

My coaching and supervision styles are best described as being a “talk ahead of tools” approach – I am solutions-focused, tapping into a range of evidence-based models and approaches including TA, clean coaching, positive psychology and cognitive behavioural techniques.

You’ll find I say what I see (or hear) and not necessarily what it will be comfortable or easy for you to hear! And in collaborating with you, I believe in keeping things simple, flexible, highly personalised, intuitive and brave, in the pursuit of helping you achieve truly impactful, transformational outcomes.

My background

As well as my coaching and supervision qualifications and experience of working with hundreds of neurodivergent coachees since 2016, I bring to the table fifteen years proven experience and success as a neurodivergent senior leader in the retail sector.

I’ve lived and breathed the strategic thinking, systems, challenges, relationships  and complexities (and the loneliness that working at the top of an organisation can sometimes bring) that can be both so exhilarating and so problematic when you’re navigating your way to leading and achieving successful business outcomes – especially when you add your personal neurodivergent challenges into the mix.

I don’t just talk the talk, I have well and truly walked the walk too!

You can find out more about me, what I’m like to work with and my background here.

Are we a good fit?

Getting successful results from working with a coach or supervisor means finding someone you trust, as well as enjoy working with.

No coach or supervisor is everyone’s cup of tea, and I’d like to invite and encourage you to get in touch with me for an informal chat by phone or video call – we’ll talk about what you’re looking for and you can get a better feel for whether or not I’m going to be a good fit for you as a partner and collaborator in achieving that.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Enough from me! Here's what my clients say:

“Before coaching I was expecting there to be a magic answer to working differently that only I hadn’t discovered. Working with Jo, I realised it’s just a different way of thinking through problems, assessing why I approach things in different ways, learning about fixed thought processes or learnt behaviours I have. Unpicking those has been interesting and challenging and having the chance to talk about challenges I’m facing and having a completely independent view on how I could work differently has been hugely valuable. Jo has helped me challenge myself to think differently and now I can recognise when I am going off course and am able to be mindful about how to change things to get what I want.”
— Senior Manager, automotive industry
"Jo’s coaching has been amazing - my self awareness and self reflection skills have improved significantly following the coaching process. I have had many interventions to support me over the years, but this coaching is by far the best strategy I have had the opportunity to access and I hope to be back for more.”
— Senior Early Years Professional (Public Sector)
“Following coaching, I have been granted my final sign off to progress to become a Consultant. Jo’s help with getting over my Achilles heel was essential. She believed in me at a time when I doubted myself and pushed me to keep persevering. Utilising the tools she taught me worked beautifully and I couldn’t have got there without her invaluable help and brilliant ideas & techniques! She showed me the way when I really did lose my way/head! “
— Consultant in General Surgery, NHS
“At the start of the coaching I was disorganised and feeling overwhelmed. Jo helped me get to the root of the problem and find strategies to help me, especially around planning. As a result I finally gained my professional accreditation and I feel so much more confident in myself and know that doing things differently, my way, is OK! I wish I had known her when I was very young I might just have got into my chosen career in the first instance. Thank you Jo."
— Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, NHS
“I came to coaching feeling like I was completely unfocused and going round in circles. I had no time to myself and wasn’t enjoying the work that at I had. I had no idea what I was going to do to try and sort it out. From the first telephone conversation with Jo I felt that this was someone who I could talk to and who could help. Jo has a very friendly and relaxed way of coaching but at the same time was very focused on getting me to really work out what was important to me and how I could help my situation. I am now able to see clearly what is important to me and I’ve developed tools to keep me focused in the future. I have also managed to find some very important ‘me time’. I have really enjoyed the process and would highly recommend Jo to anyone considering hiring a coach. ”
— Business Owner, Healthcare industry
“When I started coaching I was in rather a confused state of mind. My business was growing at a fast rate and I felt overwhelmed and lacking in confidence – I needed to work out how I was going to manage the growth and develop the right mindset to manage a larger business. Through our sessions I have developed my self awareness, and feel much more confident now – I’m glad to say the imposter syndrome has been pushed to the back of my mind! I really enjoyed the coaching – you are so easy to open up to. You know when to push to make me think beyond my current mindset and you’ve helped me open myself up to new ideas and ways of managing the business. I actually feel like a successful and able business owner now, rather than someone who has just been lucky!”
— CEO, Beauty Industry
Of all the therapy and CBT etc I have had over the years, these sessions of coaching were the single most helpful thing I have done for myself. I truly believe this has changed my life. After years of frustration, feeling invisible and hating myself, Jo has helped me see my worth and the brilliant things that make up who I am. I have gone from being at a point 2 years ago where I was suicidal at times to now feeling incredibly positive about my future and so much of this is down to the work I did with Jo to work with my neurodiverse brain instead of against it as I had been conditioned to do my whole life. I finally feel free to be brilliant!
- Data Analyst, Charity Sector
"Jo is a coach who understands the dual elements of professional work and neurodiversity. I’ve used the coaching space to help give myself permission to do things differently – swapping neurotypical solutions that don’t work for less conventional/neurodiverse ones that do. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jo has helped me start to break a lifetime of fighting against myself. I know that learning to work with myself will be a practice I need to maintain for the rest of my life – but the fact I have been able to start it is a revelation. I am very much in her debt"
