You don’t have to be neurodivergent to understand what it means to be neurodivergent. While it’s a unique experience for each individual, gaining a deeper understanding of neurodivergence can help foster empathy and create a more inclusive environment for everyone.
While I am not neurodivergent myself, I have the privilege of supporting two neurodivergent family members and working with over 50 neurodivergent professionals and business owners. Through these experiences, I've learned that managing priorities, remembering tasks, and navigating daily life is far more complex than simply using a planner or setting reminders.
Neurodivergence isn’t just about how someone works—it’s about how they experience the world.
I’ve seen first hand how:
Overwhelm hits differently when executive function challenges make task-switching difficult
Traditional time management doesn’t work when your brain doesn’t naturally categorise priorities the same way
Organisation isn’t just about tools, it’s about support, accountability, and systems that fit YOU.
Keeping relationships, friendships and managing social energy impacts daily productivity - what looks like “flaking” is often burnout from masking all day.
Forgetting to respond to a phone call, text or email, isn’t carelessness - it’s often a working memory issue.
How This Experience Shapes My Work
At The Executive Solutions Agency, we don’t understand productivity methods aren’t a one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we help neurodivergent entrepreneurs build systems that work with their brains, not against them.
Because I’ve supported my family members and now over 50 clients through the daily realities of neurodivergence, I know that:
A to-do list isn’t helpful if it’s overwhelming. We create clear, structured action plans.
Reminders don’t work if they get ignored. We provide proactive accountability without pressure.
Life outside of work impacts productivity. We offer support that takes the whole person into account.
Why This Matters for Business Owners
Many neurodivergent entrepreneurs struggle alone because they don’t trust that others will “get it.” And I understand that. That’s why my lived experience puts me in a unique position to support, not just organise—because I know that real structure comes from empathy first.
