Coaching for catalysts.
You don’t have to look too hard to find long lists of incredibly successful and influential creative catalysts who think differently. Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg, Agatha Christie, Richard Branson, Mozart, Picasso, Stanley Kubrick, Marilyn Monroe and Andy Warhol all have (or are reported to have had) autism, dyslexia or ADHD.
At least 20% of the adult population are neurodiverse and that neurodiversity cuts across race, gender and orientation. Universal Music’s Creative Differences report estimates that neurodiverse representation across all creative industries is almost double that of the general public
Graham coaches founders and leaders who are; catalysts, neurodivergent achievers, or both. Himself a neurodivergent catalyst (ADHD with autism), he draws on his own experiences of leading disruptive, fast growth startups in the entertainment, technology and learning sectors.
In a series of powerful conversations Graham works with his clients to explore their big idea, their journey towards it and the things that happen along the way. He provides practical strategies to maintain energy whilst managing the challenges, blockers and resisters that arise when creating change.
Supported by a renowned clinical team Graham takes neurodivergency into account but not as a problem to be solved but a power to be used in his clients quest to make the world a better place.
“Graham offers a refreshing approach to executive business coaching. Each session offered new insights on the topic at hand and provided the opportunity to critically reflect on how I could bring about meaningful impact with my business at a global scale.”
— Kaina, Founder and coaching client

Commissioned by the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) Graham authored and directed the Learning {Re}imagined transmedia project.
