Coaching individuals, developing leaders, and creating workplaces where different ways of thinking can thrive.

At The Newman Practice, we help individuals and organisations create environments where different ways of thinking can succeed. 

​

The world of work was not designed with everyone in mind. Many capable, driven and talented people find themselves struggling with expectations around communication, leadership, productivity or ways of working that simply do not fit how they operate best. That does not mean they are the problem.

​

We believe people do their best work when they understand how they work best, and when organisations create environments that allow people to contribute in ways that play to their strengths.

​

Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed, masking to fit in, struggling with confidence at work, navigating a new diagnosis or simply wondering why work feels harder than it seems to for everyone else, we help them make sense of their experiences and find practical, sustainable ways of working that feel more like themselves.

​

Our work is informed by an understanding of ADHD, autism and neurodiversity, alongside years of experience working in leadership roles within high-pressure and highly regulated environments. 

​

We understand the realities of modern workplaces, the competing priorities, the constant change and the pressure to perform. We also know that many workplace struggles are not unique to neurodivergent people. The manager avoiding difficult conversations, the employee who feels they have to work twice as hard to be seen as competent, the person who leaves meetings wondering why they could not say what they wanted to say in the moment, and the leader trying to support a team made up of people who all communicate, think and work differently. 

​

Creating environments that work for different ways of thinking benefits everyone.

​

Whether we are working with an individual navigating their career, a manager wanting to better support their team, or an organisation looking to create more inclusive and effective ways of working, our approach is practical, thoughtful and tailored to the person and environment in front of us. 

​

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We work alongside people to understand what is getting in the way, recognise what is already working, and develop strategies that build on their strengths rather than asking them to become someone they are not.

​

We are less interested in helping people fit into systems that do not work for them, and more interested in helping people understand their strengths, build sustainable ways of working and create environments where they can do their best work.
