You’ve built something good - and you know it can go further. But scaling steadily and consistently? That’s where it gets real.

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, plans, 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 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:

Meet The Unorthodox Coach

  • Four people standing together with their arms around each other, facing and talking to someone in front of them.

    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.

  • Illustration of a person moving a large tile onto a chessboard, with two chess pieces and other people observing.

    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.

  • Two hands, one white and one yellow, holding a small red and blue object with a rectangular shape.

    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.
