ADHD & Career Coaching for Men in Midlife

Reclaim Your Focus. Rewrite the Story.

You’ve built a life. A career. A reputation.

And yet—something still feels off.

Maybe it’s the constant struggle to stay organized, to follow through, to meet your own high standards. Maybe it’s a lingering sense of not living up to your potential—or the quiet shame that comes from thinking you “should have figured it out by now.”

If you’re a man in your 40s or 50s navigating ADHD, career challenges, and the weight of early life adversity, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep pushing through on your own.

The Hidden Cost of “Holding It All Together”

For many men with ADHD—especially those who grew up in difficult or unstable environments—survival often meant becoming hyper-independent, always on alert, always performing. You learned to mask, adapt, and muscle through.

But over time, that takes a toll.

You might feel:

  • Exhausted from constantly firefighting through your day
  • Stuck in a career that no longer fits—or never really did
  • Disconnected from your strengths, passion, or purpose
  • Frustrated by patterns you can’t seem to break
  • Ashamed that life still feels harder than it "should"

ADHD coaching isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you work with your brain, break unhelpful cycles, and reconnect to the version of yourself that feels clear, confident, and capable.

Why Coaching—and Why Now?

You’ve done the hard work to get where you are. But midlife is a powerful opportunity to ask: what now? ADHD and trauma don’t have to define the rest of your story.

Coaching offers a space to:

  • Identify and shift old patterns rooted in survival, not growth
  • Find clarity in your career direction and goals
  • Build systems and routines that reduce chaos and increase focus
  • Develop emotional regulation tools to manage stress and frustration
  • Reconnect with your strengths, values, and personal mission

This isn’t about fluffy motivation or productivity hacks. It’s about working with someone who gets the deeper layers of what you’re carrying—and what you’re capable of.

What Coaching Looks Like

At Wise Goals, coaching is direct, structured, and grounded in real life. Sessions are a mix of strategy, reflection, and action. You’ll leave each one with insight, tools, and a plan.

We focus on:

  • Personalized goal setting aligned with your life stage and career
  • ADHD-specific strategies that actually work in real time
  • Accountability and support without pressure or shame
  • Unpacking limiting beliefs shaped by early experiences
  • Creating a future that feels more intentional and less reactive

Why Men Like You Work With Me

You’re not starting from scratch. You have experience, drive, and resilience. What’s often missing is permission—to approach things differently, to stop masking, to stop burning out trying to fit a mold that was never built for you.

My coaching combines:

✅ A deep understanding of ADHD in men

✅ Trauma-informed, judgment-free support

✅ Strategic, career-aligned tools that get results

✅ The ability to hold space for difficult topics—without making it heavy

We don’t dwell in the past—but we don’t ignore it either. We use it to understand what shaped you, and to decide what you want to carry forward.

What We Can Work On

Some common coaching topics include:

  • Rebuilding motivation and purpose in midlife
  • Time management and executive function at work
  • Burnout recovery and sustainable productivity
  • Navigating career transitions or reinvention
  • Managing emotional triggers or stress responses
  • Building structure and systems that stick
  • Reframing self-worth and internal narratives

John

James's coaching has been life transforming for me. It brought out the best in me, restored my confidence and improved my productivity.

Being introduced to positive psychology has been healing and life changing for the better.


I gained the ability to self-organise, self-manage, prioritise, (particularly in my work life) and become more compassionate towards myself.

The proactive and motivational coaching helped me realize that my ADHD and mental health issues can serve as incentives and assets rather than barriers. I also learned the importance of having a solid routine and structure.
