Clarissa McElrath

PCC

“As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I partner with executive leaders to help them move from burnout and overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and strategic impact. With a background in Agile leadership, product and program management, I bring structure, emotional intelligence, and deep insight to every engagement. My passion is supporting high-achieving professionals, particularly those navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, to thrive in leadership, work, and life.”

What prompts clients to reach out

They are high achievers who feel stuck, undervalued, or burned out.
They have ADHD or executive function challenges that interfere with their focus, follow-through, or confidence.
They're navigating corporate culture while trying to stay authentic and neurodivergent-friendly.
They want to lead with more clarity, executive presence, and energy, but feel like they're drowning in demands.
They're ready to grow, pivot, or level up, but can't seem to move forward alone.

What these leaders need most

Someone who understand how ADHD and high achievement intersect, without judgment or platitudes.
Coaching that blends neuroscience, systems thinking, and emotional support.
A safe, confidential space to explore self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and strategic decisions.
Tools that actually work for their brain, no generic hacks or shame-based advice.
A thought partner who helps them stay accountable, empowered, and aligned with their values.

What I do to help them

Use a strengths-based, personalized approach grounded in executive function science and coaching psychology.
Support them in building emotional regulation, time mastery, and sustainable habits.
Help them develop confident communication and executive presence—even under stress.
Reframe obstacles through coaching models like the Emotional Health Ladder, Predictable Patterns, and Self-Individuation.
Celebrate neurodivergence as a leadership asset—not a liability.
