Empowerment Solutions for Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs
Welcome! I'm thrilled to have you here!
My goal is to foster a lively and supportive environment that addresses the distinct needs of neurodivergent entrepreneurs.
I look forward to working together and helping you thrive on your journey!
Time Management & Organisation
Many neurodivergent individuals struggle with executive functioning, which includes planning, prioritising, and managing time effectively. This can lead to missed deadlines and a sense of overwhelm.
Running a business can be stressful, and neurodivergent individuals may experience heightened levels of anxiety and stress, impacting decision-making and overall well-being.
​
The constant demands of running a business can lead to burnout, especially if self-care and work-life balance are not adequately managed.
​
SOLUTION 1​​
​
Utilising Task Management Tools:
I will assist with planning, prioritising, and tracking tasks using platforms like Slack, Trello, and Asana.
​​Implementing Calendar Management:
I will establish and oversee calendars to guarantee that deadlines are met and important dates are not overlooked.
Routine Check-ins:
I will arrange regular check-ins and/or a task list to assess progress, adjust priorities, send reminders for upcoming tasks.
Administrative and Financial Management
Detail-oriented tasks such as managing finances, keeping track of expenses, and handling administrative tasks can be particularly challenging due to difficulties with attention to detail and organisation.
​
Maintaining consistent business practices and routines can be difficult, leading to potential gaps in operations and client service.
​
Adapting to changes in the business environment or pivoting strategies can be more challenging, as routine and predictability are preferred.
Finding creative solutions to business problems can be hindered by rigid thinking patterns or difficulty in seeing the bigger picture.
SOLUTION​ 2
Email and Communication Management:
I will handle emails and other communications to reduce the daily load and prevent overwhelm.
​
Customer Service Support:
I will manage customer/client inquiries and issues, allowing you to focus on higher-level tasks.
​
Crisis Management Plans:
I will develop plans for handling stressful situations, so there’s a clear path to follow when things get tough.
Communication and Social Interaction
Building and maintaining professional relationships can be difficult due to challenges in social communication and interpreting social cues.
​
There may be a higher risk of misunderstandings in both written and verbal communication, which can affect client and team interactions.
Engaging in small talk or casual conversations can feel unnatural and uncomfortable, as they may prefer more meaningful or topic-focused discussions.
​
​Some neurodivergent individuals may try to mask their natural behaviours to fit in, which can be mentally and emotionally draining.
SOLUTION​ 3
Work-Life Balance:
I will assist in scheduling regular breaks and ensuring that work hours are respected to prevent overworking.
Self-Care Reminders:
I will set up reminders for self-care activities, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies.
Delegation:
I will identify tasks that can be delegated to me, reducing the workload on you.
"I can't say how amazing Lisa is. I was in a difficult place and was considering closing my business (because I'm rubbish at business 😅 but one chat with Lisa and I decided to give one last try. Business has improved, my mental health has improved dramatically because I have almost no business admin to worry about anymore.
If you stress over any aspect of your business, I can honestly recommend Lisa at The Virtual Connection, you won't regret it I promise!"
