Candice Lim

PAAC-certified ADHD & Executive Function Coach

I’m a mentor-coach for rising leaders and young adults with brilliantly busy brains navigating ADHD or executive function challenges.

I work deep in the trenches with you, blending quirky edge with professional clarity to cut through the chaos with you.

I’ve spent 10+ years in strategic and operational leadership in both the public and private sectors, and the last several years mentor-coaching entrepreneurs, emerging leaders and young adults. My work has always been about helping people operate in ways that feel natural, sustainable, and true to who they are — a philosophy grounded in my training as a Gallup-Certified Global Strengths Coach.

Over time, I began noticing a pattern. Many of the talented leaders I worked with weren’t held back by capability, but by overstretched executive functions. For some, ADHD was the quiet variable influencing how they handled pressure, shifting priorities, and the constant mental load of leadership.

That insight shifted the trajectory of my work.

I deepened my studies in ADHD-friendly systems and executive functions strategies, eventually training with the renowned ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), and certified as ADHD Coach by the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC). What began as a leadership lens expanded into a strengths-based ADHD coaching practice that honours how each brain naturally works.

Whether you’re leading a team or managing your own daily load, my role is simple: help you understand your brain, lean into your strengths, and create ways of living and working that feel doable, spacious, and unmistakably you.

As for me, I’m a curious, and keen learner, and naturally attuned to the connections between people and their stories. I embrace the edges, colour outside the lines, and celebrate the quirks that make life unmistakably me.
