A 12-Week LIVE Group Coaching Accelerator for Startup COOs & Operators

When Your Brain Moves Faster Than Your Business

The Anchored Operators Accelerator Coaching for ADHD COOs: move you from Friction to Focus

This is a 12-week live group coaching program for startup COOs and operations leaders with ADHD who are tired of the constant friction and ready to lead with clarity. You’ll install a new operating system for your leadership, surrounded by a cohort of your peers—all working with your brain, not against it.

The Result? You’ll stop being the bottleneck and start being the strategic, confident anchor your company needs.

The Founding Cohort Launches January 13th.
Applications are open for 10 spots.

Apply for the Founding Cohort
  • Go from Overwhelmed Operator to Confident Systems Builder
  • Turn Your ADHD “Flaws” into Your Greatest Leadership Superpowers
  • Transform Your Founder Partnership into an Unbreakable Alliance
  • Install a Custom Operating System for Your ADHD Brain

The Paradox of the Entrepreneurial ADHD Operator

Brilliant in a Crisis, Drowning in the Day-to-Day.

Does it feel like you’re working harder than everyone else just to keep up? You’re not alone. Being a COO or Head of Operations with ADHD is a paradox. You can solve impossible problems and see patterns no one else can, yet you feel a constant sense of friction just to keep up.

  • You’re brilliant in a crisis but struggle with the day-to-day routine.
  • You’re drowning in a sea of half-finished projects and a to-do list that never gets shorter.
  • You feel caught between your founder’s “idea tornado” and your team’s need for structure.
  • You know traditional productivity advice doesn’t work for your brain.
  • And worst of all—you feel deeply isolated, because no one else in the company truly understands the way your mind works.

These aren’t personal failures. They are predictable challenges for an ADHD-wired COO without the right operating system.

Why Work With Me as Your Coach?

Most Executive Coaches Don’t Get ADHD. Most ADHD Coaches Have Never Sat in the Operator’s Seat. I’ve Done Both.

For years, I felt the exact same friction you do. I was a COO scaling a company, building systems, managing a team, and constantly wrestling with my ADHD brain as well as the frantic energy of my Founder/CEO/Partner.

I don’t teach generic productivity hacks; I provide a battle-tested leadership playbook from someone who’s been in your seat and understands the pressure of building, scaling, and aligning a company as the second-in-command, while struggling with neurodiversity. My approach is co-creative—we work together to implement personalized systems and frameworks that truly stick.

Let’s Do This, Together!

What Will your Life Look Like in Just 12 Weeks?

This program delivers a fundamental upgrade to your leadership operating system. It’s not about surface-level productivity; it’s about a permanent shift in how you operate as a leader. After 12 weeks, you will:

  • Build an Unbreakable Partnership with Your Founder: Replace chaotic meetings and role confusion with clear decision-making and communication systems.
  • Run Your Week with Calm and Focus: Trade your overwhelming to-do list for a “Priority Dashboard” that keeps you locked on what matters most.
  • Lead a Team That Executes with Autonomy: Implement lightweight, visual delegation systems that empower your team and free you to think strategically.
  • Turn ADHD Into a Leadership Superpower: Gain a personalized toolkit to manage emotional intensity, regulate energy, and leverage your ADHD traits as unique assets.

My Promise to You: You’ll transform from an overwhelmed, scattered operator into a focused, confident COO who drives growth with clarity, calm, and ADHD-friendly systems.

  • You value community and want to learn alongside a curated group of peers who are facing the exact same challenges.
  • You are ready to take action, implement new systems, and lead with focus.

This Accelerator
IS NOT for You If…
