Chris Mitchell

Leadership Coach - Leeds

I'm an ADHD-informed leadership coach based in Leeds helping un-like minded business leaders to thrive. I'll be your coach, mentor and strategic advisor to help you gain clarity and direction by turning your unique abilities into exceptional strengths. I want to help you stand out, not fit in.

Whether you're neurotypical or neurodivergent, diagnosed or not, I'm here with you on the journey to Grow Your Greatness.

After a decade in corporate strategy roles at companies like Intel and Walmart/ASDA, I discovered that my ability to see connections others missed wasn't a weakness – it was my superpower. Now I help business leaders who think differently transform complexity into clarity and turn their unique abilities into exceptional strengths.

What Makes My Approach Different
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all coaching. As an ADHD-informed executive coach, I understand both neurotypical expectations and neurodivergent perspectives. This unique lens allows me to help all business leaders – whether they're diagnosed with ADHD or simply think differently – leverage their distinctive thinking styles as a competitive advantage.

My approach blends three elements seamlessly:
• Coaching to help you gain clarity about where you are and where you want to go
• Mentoring to share relevant expertise from my corporate background
• Strategic advice to create practical, actionable plans that actually work in the real world

Who I Partner With
I work with business leaders who:
• Feel overwhelmed by complexity and need clarity to move forward
• Want to leverage their unique thinking style rather than trying to fit to corporate conformity
• Are ready to transform challenges into strengths and opportunities

Whether you're a corporate leader navigating politics and stakeholders, a business owner transitioning from operator to strategic leader, or a high-potential professional developing your authentic leadership style – I can help you gain the clarity and direction you need to take purposeful action.

What Clients Say
"Chris is an outstanding coach. He has a great way of working things out and explaining to me what he means in a simple and meaningful way. He sees things in me I don't see and have never thought about."
"Chris was informative and caring but most of all he listened, he used his expertise where he could but also took onboard the industry specific information brought to him to give real and meaningful advice based on real life challenges."
My Credentials

With 700+ coaching sessions delivered, I bring both formal credentials and real-world experience to our partnership. I'm a certified executive coach and accredited ADHD coach who's worked with organizations including Microsoft, BBC, and Adobe.
But more importantly, I've been where many of my clients are – feeling like I didn't quite fit in, knowing I had more to offer but unsure how to leverage my different way of thinking. This personal experience informs everything I do.
