About  Me

Passionate About Inspiring Others to Shine

Chris Cole
Who I Am

My journey into this work started close to home—I discovered that some of my children were dyslexic, which sparked a deep dive into understanding dyslexic thinking and neurodiversity. Later, I realised I was dyslexic too, and that discovery changed my life perspective.

​

Through personal experience and years of working with others, I’ve seen the unique strengths dyslexics bring to the table, from their ability to connect, creativity to problem-solving, and I’ve also witnessed the challenges they often face in environments that don’t fully support or recognise their thinking style.

​

My Approach

What makes my work unique is that it’s deeply personal and practical. I draw on my own experiences as a dyslexic parent, professional, and advocate, combined with evidence-based strategies and a passion for empowering others.

​

Whether I’m working one-on-one with an individual or collaborating with a team, my goal is always the same: to help people see their worth, recognise their potential, and create environments where everyone can thrive.

​

A Little More About Me

When I’m not coaching, or running workshops, I’m a big believer in lifelong learning and growth. I love exploring how we can reframe challenges to unlock potential, both for individuals and organisations. It's not just work for me; it's a way of life that keeps me curious and inspired. 

​

If you’re ready to optimise the power of dyslexic thinking or create a more inclusive workplace, I’d love to connect. Let’s unlock your strengths and achieve something extraordinary together.
