Your brain works differently. Your coaching should too.

Lived-experience one to one support for creatives with ADHD — from someone who has built a successful 30 year career and helped many others do the same.

Take it from me: you’re not broken. You’re building with the wrong tools.

If you’re a creative with ADHD (diagnosed or self-identified), you already know how hard it is to find support that actually fits your brain.

Maybe you’ve tried the planners and the self-help books.
Maybe you’ve tried the apps and accountability groups.
Maybe you’ve even tried coaching — but it felt overwhelming, condescending, or just... not built for you.

This coaching is different.

Who is this for?

This offer is for:

• Actors juggling creative hopes with day-to-day distractions and industry pressures
• Writers full of ideas but stuck on what to finish first
• Artists trying to stay visible, consistent, and creatively fuelled

You might be:

• Overwhelmed by starting
• Great at ideas, bad at follow-through
• Paralysed by admin, deadlines, or imposter feelings
• Brilliant — but burnt out

Why you can trust my coaching

I’m John Byrne — a career coach, writer, cartoonist and performer with over 30 years of experience in the creative industries… and a lifetime of working with a neurodivergent brain.

I’m also a SEND-qualified teacher and have mentored many fellow creatives with ADHD and other neurodivergences — not just from theory, but from lived experience. I know what it’s like to lose momentum, miss deadlines, and get overwhelmed by a brain that won’t sit still. But I also know what’s possible when you stop trying to fight it — and start designing around it.

Over my career, I’ve:

🎭 Advised thousands of actors through The Stage, at top drama schools and as a successful personal manager.
🧠 Helped creatives build long-term freelance lives, not just survive gig-to-gig
📚 Written 40 plus books including Amazon and Waterstones bestsellers
📝 Scripted for the BBC and published with major houses like Bloomsbury and HarperCollins
🎨 Illustrated children’s books (including a Smithsonian edition), and sold over 15,000 educational titles

And I’ve done it all while navigating ADHD, executive dysfunction, and the very real challenges that neurodivergent creatives face daily.

This coaching offer is not about “fixing” yourself. It’s about finding the structure, strategy, and sustainable support that works for your brain and your goals.

Whether you’re frozen at the starting line or flying in too many directions at once — I’m here to help you build clarity, finish things, and feel proud of the career you’re creating.

✅ What you get:

• One-to-one, values-aligned support via Zoom and with email follow up.
• A tailored plan that suits your brain, goals and rhythms
• Tools that have helped me personally (as a published author, illustrator, scriptwriter, and mentor with ADHD)
• No pressure, shame or micromanaging — just clear steps forward

This isn’t a magic bullet, a one size fits all ‘5am routine' or any of the other distractions and empty promises you'll find all over social media.
It’s a practical, human partnership designed around your real life.

(Long term coaching packages are available, but I know how ADHD impulse can lead to overspending and over commitment so I am offering an initial discounted session designed to deliver confidence, a clear plan and a way forward, whether or not you choose to become a regular client).

Places fill up quickly each month, so please book as soon as you can. I look forward to meeting you!
