About Jean

Hello, I am really pleased you dropped by to find out more about me and my Coaching and Personal Development skills and experience.

I worked for British Airways for over 35 years in a variety of careers. I spent the majority of my time in the Information Technology department as an IT Project Manager, Resource Manager, Business Manager & Learning & Development Project Manager.

My mission is to improve the lives of children, young people and professionals through Coaching. Provide support, information and education for those living with ADHD. Raise awareness of the challenges with ADHD and related conditions so that better provisions are available to the increasing number of people requiring support in school, work places and society at large. This led me to train to become a Certified ADHD Life Coach.

My aim is to change the story about ADHD by improving the understanding of it. I wrote an Amazon Best Selling book ‘The ADHD Support Handbook’ sharing our story. As a parent I understood the challenges faced and wanted to help others in a similar position. My grandson was diagnosed at 6 years old and my daughter later in life as an adult.

Whilst working full time, from 2005, I established and ran my business part-time writing CVs and career development consultant for over 10 years.

My final role at BA was as the Learning and Systems Manager responsible for the development, configuration and global operation of the company’s new Learning Management System.

Since working for British Airways, I have setup a personal development business, Active Personal Development. APD helps young people and adults to recognise their value in the world of work and supports their development and or transition in order to full fill their potential whilst being the best version of themselves.

I offer a variety of Personal Development services including Career & Life Coaching, ADHD Coaching, Interview Skills and techniques, am an accredited Talent Dynamics Flow Consultant and a certified WISDOM Coach enabling me to use a structured curriculum to coach children. I am a Certified ADHD Life Coach (CALC), an Amazon Best Selling Author and I have volunteered in local schools as an Enterprise Advisor supporting the development of their career strategy and delivered a number of workshops to local schools and took part in the first Buckinghamshire Skills Show.

My passion is to help children develop a positive mindset with skills to deal with the ups and downs of life. Support young people and adults to become the best version of themselves empowering, inspiring and encouraging them to full fill their potential in life and their careers.

I am an Associate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. Achieved a Diploma as a Personal Performance Coach and studying NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).

Throughout my career journey I have been a mum of 4 children, enjoy gardening (my second passion!) and now have 10 grandchildren along with a lovely husband who all benefit from my coaching skills. So can you!
