that is always buzzing with ideas and possibilities - but when it comes to execution, difficult conversations, and consistent delivery – you hit a wall.

A rising leader
A Young Adult at a Crossroad
The Unorthodox Coach
You lead with a brilliantly busy brain.
Whether you’re a scale-up CEO whose bootstraps leadership is buckling under growth, a newly minted manager overwhelmed by the shift in expectations, you are seeking support to level up with your innate talents and unique wiring.
You’ve just stepped into a bigger role — and then reality hits that everything suddenly feels harder. You are overwhelmed by the shift in expectations.
Your busy brain’s always buzzing with ideas and possibilities - but staying focused, finishing things, or feeling clear IS the harder part.
You know you’ve got potential. What you want is to make sense of it - and make choices that actually feel right for your life – not others.
I may be who you're looking for to cut through the chaos. 
I am Candice.
I’m a leadership mentor-coach for rising leaders with brilliantly busy brains, navigating executive function or ADHD challenges.
After 20+ years designing systems, developing talent, scaling organisations and growing industries in private/public sectors, I’ve navigated the chaos and still show up as me, spark intact, voice as clear.
My experiences are now applied through strengths-based and ADHD-informed coaching.
When you work with me, I untangle the mess and turn it into one clean move forward - alongside you as you lead.
Credentials and affiliation:
Certified ADHD Coach Practitioner (CACP) with the Professional Association for ADHD Coaches (PAAC)

Meet The Unorthodox Coach
-
Your partner in the trenches
No coach in our partnership. Only a partner and a confidant deep in the trenches with you, working with your brain, and wiring your leadership together as we tackle the real stuff: difficult team dynamics, tough conversations, systems not scaling, complex decisions keeping you up at night.
-
Professional clarity with a quirky edge
I bring a rare blend of quirky edge and professional clarity. I see what others miss — the emotional undercurrents, strategic gaps, and unspoken tensions. My client will tell you that I ‘challenge directly and with precision, creating the conditions for pivotal realisations’.
I may occasionally offer you an off-beat view, but everything I do is grounded in intention. I blend bold thinking guided by ethical coaching values and competence to inspire you. -
Where my strengths meet yours
I contain the chaos while holding space for your complex emotions and thoughts.
Then I untangle the mess, separate facts from emotions and assumptions, pinpoint the real constraints, and turn it into one clean move forward - alongside you as you lead.
