184 | How Emma Cowsill Built a Neurodiversity Coaching Business in 8 Months (While Getting Diagnosed Along the Way)
Description
What if eight months from now, your coaching business looked completely different from the one you’re imagining today?
When Emma Cowsill started her business, she was also making sense of her own ADHD diagnosis and, more recently, an autism diagnosis. In this conversation, she shares how she stopped shrinking herself, found a way of building a business that works with her brain rather than against it, and quickly expanded from 1:1 coaching into neurodiversity consulting, organisational work and collaborations.
