Through the Ceiling
Neurodivergent people, women, and people of colour remain underrepresented in leadership and senior management, despite greater representation at junior levels. We believe this needs to change. Success isn’t just about personal strengths—it’s also about creating environments that enable individuals to thrive.
What Our Leadership Coaching Covers
Our leadership coaching supports clients in:
Identifying and addressing environmental barriers to career progression
Planning and taking the right steps to advance in their careers
Engaging in mentoring and coaching tailored to their unique needs
Why this Matters:
Our research shows that for 80% of individuals seeking leadership roles, an affirming workplace is the most significant factor in career advancement. Our initiative is designed to provide the space, support, and coaching necessary for neurodivergent professionals to navigate these challenges and access leadership opportunities.

How We Work
Plan it
We start with an in-depth exploration of strengths, aspirations, and the kind of work-life balance our clients want. From this, we develop a tailored plan that aligns with their values, work preferences, and long-term goals.
Make it Happen
With a clear plan in place, we break down the steps needed to reach these goals. Through structured coaching and, if desired, mentoring, we support clients in making tangible progress over 12 months.

Research
Our survey into accessing leadership roles has shown that for 80 per cent of those surveyed an affirming workplace would be the single greatest single contributor to reaching senior leadership with many reporting this as the most significant barrier to career advancement.
For those already within senior leadership, again an affirming workplace culture was the standout support in reaching this stage.
Popular supports that respondents were seeking included leadership mentoring and leadership and executive coaching.
This research is one of the key reasons for us founding this initiative to provide the space for reflection and planning for our clients to tackle the challenges they face and gain access to the supports they need to make progress. Given the potential obstacles, a listening and supportive coaching or mentoring relationship can make a big difference in moving forwards.
