Candice Lim
ADHD Leadership Coach for rising leaders with busy brains, The Unorthodox Coach
I untangle the Busy Brain Mess with you, so that you lead with One Clean Move™ forward.
I’m a PAAC-certified ADHD Coach Practitioner (CACP), ICF-certified Associate Coach (ACC) and a Gallup-certified Strengths Coach, a leadership ally for rising leaders with brilliantly busy brains navigating executive function or ADHD challenges.
Every rising leader I coach has a differently wired brain, unique to themselves.
Some struggle to start; others struggle to stop.
Some wrestle with perfectionism; others with procrastination.
Some need structure to thrive; others feel trapped by it.
What helps one leader thrive can overwhelm another.
Without recognising that individuality, you’re just copying others’ playbooks.
I don’t tell you what to do.
I sit in the trenches with you as you lead – to untangle the mess, separate facts from emotions, pinpoint the real constraints – and turn it into one clean move forward.
This works because:
20+ years designing systems, developing talent, scaling organizations and industries, now applied through ADHD-informed and strengths-based coaching.
Together, you’ll build rhythms and systems that work with your wiring.
You begin to focus on work that shifts outcomes: team dynamics, scalable systems, complex decisions, leadership presence.
I’ve lived that complexity, navigated that chaos, dodged the nonsense.
And still show up as me, spark intact. ✨
So can you!
Whether you’re leading a team or managing your own daily load, my role is simple: help you understand your brain, lean into your strengths, and create ways of living and working that feel doable, spacious, and proudly – you.
