We don’t do typical. It’s an ADHD thing.
In a world of defined boundaries, set rules and grey concepts explained in black and white, we help brains that operate in technicolour make good on their dreams.
Because ordinary ways of business coaching don’t work when you experience things in extraordinary ways.
We’re proudly, curiously, authentically, colourfully ADHD. And we’re passionate about empowering inspiring people like you.
It all began with a squiggly brain…
(Meet our founder, Suzy. ADHD coach, ADHD human, ADHD dungaree enthusiast. Responsible for their own hair.)
Being diagnosed with ADHD or autism as an adult can be confusing and frustrating.
I’ve been there.
For most of my adult life, there was something about me.
At work one day, I was asked to “empty my mind” in a mindfulness session. I said out loud for the first time that I couldn’t turn the music off. And I got the strangest looks from the whole room.
That’s when I learned that not everyone had a constant soundtrack in their heads, with a hook that played over and over on repeat.
But life goes on. And so does the music.
I carried on with my squiggly career:
-
Project manager
-
Strategic marketer
-
Bid writer
-
Cupcake baker
-
Business development manager
-
Hotel manager
-
Business journalist
Then came my diagnosis: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. With a side-order of autism.
It was crushing.
But also the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.
It’s taken years of work. But my diagnosis has helped me learn to accept and work with my technicolour brain.
I’ve been able to identify what makes it uncomfortable (washing up, ironing, car insurance renewals). And celebrate everything it does well (helping people).
Being an out and proud ADHDer has brought me here, now.
A qualified ADHD coach. A business consultant. A champion of ADHD entrepreneurs and everything that makes you great.
A technicolour brain with a Technicolour Project.
Set up to help you empower yourself and your business, your way. Using tools and strategies that work for people like us.
We’ve got big plans…
The Technicolour Project is on a mission to create a space where ADHD entrepreneurs consider their ADHD an advantage.
Where different doesn’t mean less and coaching works with your brain, not against it.
Our approach is to empower and support you to create a business that works on your terms. And thrive in all aspects of your life.
Business support has been neurotypical for too long. It’s time to do things ADHD-style.
A name to match an ADHD brain…
When filmmakers began making and showing films in colour, they came across a big problem: colour didn’t translate well to the screen.
It looked muted. A washed-out version of the live-action that was originally captured on tape.
To get the colours to be as—well, colourful—as they were meant to be, filmmakers had to amp them up.
The Technicolor company’s three-strip process used highly saturated colours to help people see colour as it was intended to be.
And so technicolour became a way to make films bright and bold. So, everyone could enjoy them as filmmakers intended.
That’s our approach to ADHD and self-employment.
We know that typical support doesn’t cut it. It’s received by us as a grey catalogue of forms and spreadsheets, rules and deadlines.
But our brains operate in glorious technicolour.
We take what you need to know about starting and running a business and add to it the colour of having an ADHD brain.
The result?
Bright and bold ADHD businesses. Powered by creative ADHD minds.
A Technicolour team…
The Technicolour Project is more than a Suzy. It’s a brilliant collection of crazy, talented human beings.
Most of whom are independent workers available to help you build, run and grow your business. After all, it’s teamwork that makes ADHD dreams work.
And a happy, growing community…

“They were great to talk to about ideas. Suzy was able to take grand plans and often unrealistic timescales and help me break them into much more achievable and viable products and offers.”
