About Jenny

As the founder of Human Fabric, Jenny is passionate about creating the conditions for optimal performance for individuals, in teams and across organisations. With more than 22 years’ experience in professional services, most recently in senior leadership at Beca Group, she has led major change initiatives, developed organisational capability and helped project managers across the Asia-Pacific region to lead teams more effectively.

Human Fabric’s focus on reframing neurodiversity is deeply personal for Jenny. After being diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s, and supporting her neurodivergent children, Jenny began to see the workplace through a new lens. She became curious about how different brains work, what they need to thrive and how much untapped potential is lost when organisations and teams are not designed with cognitive diversity in mind.

Today, Jenny blends strategic thinking, business acumen, neurodiversity expertise and lived experience to help organisations, leaders and neurodivergent professionals unlock strengths, reduce friction and create environments where everyone can contribute to their full potential.

Expertise grounded in experience

Jenny holds an MBA and a suite of certifications in Agile, project management and change management, and is an internationally certified ADHD coach. What sets her apart is her rare combination of business and leadership experience, ADHD coaching expertise and lived experience of ADHD in leadership.

At Human Fabric, Jenny’s mission is simple: to help organisations and individuals understand, embrace and harness neurodivergent potential.

Supporting organisations and leaders

Jenny works with organisations that want to move beyond awareness and create meaningful, practical change. Her work spans neurodiversity training, neuroinclusion assessments and strategy, leadership development, manager advice, workplace adjustments, neuroinclusive ways of working and team effectiveness.

She helps leaders understand how different brains may experience the workplace, identify barriers that can get in the way of performance and make practical changes that support people to do their best work. Her career experience means that she understands the realities facing managers, HR teams, and senior leaders.

Jenny is known for making complex ideas clear and actionable. Whether she is facilitating a workshop, advising a manager or working with an executive team or board, her approach is warm, insightful, engaging and collaborative. She creates space for open conversations, sparks new ways of thinking and helps turn good intentions into practical improvements that lift business and team performance.

Coaching neurodivergent professionals

Jenny also works one-to-one with neurodivergent professionals, often with those working in leadership, project-based or high-pressure roles.

Her own ADHD diagnosis reframed not only her past but also her professional path. Her experience of developing management strategies, coping with burnout and navigating internal confusion, alongside many career successes, fuels her commitment to helping neurodivergent professionals realise their potential more consistently.

Jenny understands what it is like to have a fast brain, that is often wired for interest over importance, in a world that does not always understand you, and how empowering it can be to finally find your own rhythm and lean into your unique way of thinking.

As a coach, Jenny blends ADHD insights and practical strategies with an open-minded curiosity and deep empathy. Her style is warm, positive and collaborative. She meets clients where they are and asks insightful questions to help them to uncover strengths, identify patterns and build systems that work for their brains.

What Jenny's coaching clients say

“I absolutely recommend Jenny as an empathetic and empowering coach. She recently helped me shift my mindset around a tricky issue I was having in my life. I enjoyed the coaching process a lot, even though it felt like a tough topic where I initially didn't see a clear way forward.”

“The questions Jenny asked me were just the right level of challenging and made me think, helping me gain a greater appreciation of how my ADHD was showing up, as well as the strengths I could bring to the situation. I came away from the session with a more positive outlook and some clear, achievable steps.”
