Coaching for neurodivergent senior leaders
You’ve earned your place. It’s time to feel that way.
You have experience, responsibility and a track record. Yet you still find yourself replaying conversations, questioning decisions or working harder to make sure nobody sees you getting it wrong.
I help neurodivergent senior leaders overcome impostor syndrome and build trust in their judgement, so they can lead with less second-guessing and more room to think.
Does leading feel harder than it looks?
Other people see someone capable. You know how much effort goes into keeping things together.
You might recognise:
• Preparing far beyond what a meeting needs, just in case.
• Replaying a conversation long after everyone else has moved on.
• Dismissing a success while holding on to one small mistake.
• Holding back an idea because you cannot yet defend every detail.
• Feeling you need to hide how you think or work to be taken seriously.
• Finding it difficult to switch off because there is always more to prove.
You do not have to recognise every point. We start with your experience, rather than expecting you to fit a particular profile.

About Me
I'm Marguerite Farmer, founder of North & Nimble, and a certified senior practitioner coach. My MSc research (now published) explored how leaders develop confidence when they experience impostor feelings - and what I saw is that those feelings often surface at moments of transition: a first leadership role, a step up to senior level, a move into a new organisation.
Since then, I've worked with leaders across sectors including professional services, technology, and finance, supporting them to navigate those transitions with confidence and impact.
My approach is warm, human, and evidence-based - helping leaders, and the organisations they work in, thrive without relying on quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions.
