Anna Findlay - Career Coach — Co-Founder
I always knew I was different. What came easy to everyone else felt exhausting for me. And the things they struggled with? I could do them in my sleep. For years, I assumed I was the problem.It wasn’t until my late 20s that I discovered I’m neurodivergent, that diagnosis changed EVERYTHING.I finally realised the very brain I thought was holding me back was actually my unfair advantage. Once I stopped trying to work like everyone else, and leaned into my actual strengths, everything shifted. I went from being stuck under $100k in my career for over a decade to building a $200K+ career. I landed roles without applying. I pivoted industries with confidence. I was doing the work that lit me up, alongside people who got me. And honestly, the relief of being able to just be myself was worth more than the salary increase. Even as a socially awkward, neurodivergent introvert, I figured out how to position myself powerfully, articulate my value, and get paid well for what I do. Now, I help other neurodivergent women do the same. I’m the founder of Career AccelerateHER, a 90-day coaching program designed to take you from overlooked, underpaid, or stuck to thriving in a $200K+ role that aligns with your strengths, values, and life. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about using your brain strategically. My clients don’t just get clarity, they get offers. ✅ A Digital Marketing Manager received three offers in the same week and started a bidding war. ✅ An L&D Manager landed a $190K role in 5 weeks without applying. ✅ An unemployed Lead UX/UI Designer secured a $160K job after just one session. ✅ In 4 weeks, a Senior Service Designer went from redundancy to a $200K contract. ✅ An Operations Manager secured a $230K role in 6 weeks. ✅ After being unemployed for over a year, a Senior Product Designer landed a $140K offer without applying. ✅ After a 4-year career gap, a Senior Engineer landed a six-figure role in just 4 weeks. ✅ A Designer landed a promotion and secured a $50K salary increase in 5 weeks. If you’re an ambitious, capable woman who knows you’re meant for more, and is done trying to succeed in systems that weren’t built for your brain. You’re exactly who I help. 👉 Go to the Featured section to watch the free training or DM me “READY”. I’ll show you how to turn your skills, experience, and effort into real opportunities, without overdelivering and burning out. Because you deserve a career that works for your brain and your life.
