02Sound familiar?
You’re good at your job. The leadership stuff feels like a different game.
You’re ready to grow. You’re not sure what the next step actually looks like.
You’re navigating a promotion, a new role, or more responsibility than you’ve had before.
You feel like you’re figuring it out alone when you shouldn’t have to be.
You have ADHD. The standard leadership playbook doesn’t quite fit.
A few years back I was running three teams through the biggest launch our company had ever attempted. DevOps, SRE, NOC. A year of work, the whole business banking on it.
I also have ADHD. And I was burning out about once a month, like clockwork. I’d been trying to hide it. Quieter in standups. Pushing decisions down the chain. Pretending I was just taking a deep dive on something when really my brain was wrapped in wet concrete.
The team could see it before I could. So I stopped trying to hide it and started building around it. I brought people in, taught them parts of my job that could be shared, told them the truth about why. They didn’t just cover for me. They got better. The launch shipped on time.
That’s the work I love now. Helping engineers and technical leaders build systems that work with their brains, not against them. Twenty years as an engineer, manager, and eventually CTO at Tagboard, Stash, and Myspace taught me the craft. The ADHD taught me the rest.
Zero learning curve
I’ve managed the budgets, built the teams, reported to the Board. You don’t have to explain engineering to me.
Neuro-inclusive
As an ADHD coach, I help leaders build systems that work with their brains, not against them.
Outcome-obsessed
We focus on metrics that matter: retention, delivery speed, and your personal peace of mind.
04What we work on
Every engagement is different. Here’s what comes up most.
Getting to the next level
What it actually takes. Not vibes. The work, the relationships, the visibility.
Soft skills, practically
Reading the room, managing up, navigating stakeholders without losing yourself.
Understanding what matters
To your skip-level. To your partners. To the people around you. Leverage starts here.
Org design and team structure
Shape the team around the work you want to do, not the work you’re stuck with.
Conflict without burning bridges
How to say the hard thing and keep the relationship.
Executive presence and influence
Not performative. The real thing: clarity, conviction, and knowing when to hold your ground.
Preventing burnout
While still delivering. The goal isn’t to work less, it’s to work on what actually moves things.
Systems that work with your brain
Especially if it’s ADHD-shaped. The standard playbook isn’t the only playbook.

06What clients say
Jordan’s coaching was exactly what I needed. He provided pragmatic guidance on everything from improving team communication to navigating challenging technical disagreements. His experience as a CTO was invaluable. He’s been there and understands the real-world pressures we face as engineering leaders. Because of his coaching, I’m now a stronger and more confident lead engineer.
01Cole F.
Lead Engineer, Boeing
Unlike other coaches who just asked questions, Jordan provided actionable advice based on his own extensive experience leading engineering teams. He helped me understand what it truly takes to be an effective manager, from running impactful 1:1s to developing team strategy. Thanks to his coaching, I felt much more confident in my leadership abilities and very quickly transitioned into a Manager role within my company.
02Jeremy L.
Senior Engineer, Microsoft
Jordan’s coaching proved invaluable in sharpening my expertise in organizational design and project management. I needed practical, immediately applicable techniques to enhance team structure and project execution, and his coaching delivered precisely that. As a direct result of our sessions, I am now leading projects more effectively and building more streamlined, high performing teams.
