Hi! I'm Tejas Mistry.

I have ADHD.

I know firsthand what it's like to have potential and drive—and still struggle to live up to it consistently.
I also know how powerful it can be when someone truly understands what you're dealing with.

Before coaching, I spent 25 years at Microsoft as a software engineer and manager. Over time it was apparent, what energized me most was the people side of the work—guiding teams, mentoring people, helping them feel seen, understood, and empowered.

I discovered I was doing a lot of coaching before I ever called it that.

To deepen that work, I trained with the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA) in coaching frameworks designed specifically for ADHD.

I named my business Squirrel Brain Coaching with intention—I wish for us to reclaim that label. Much like a squirrel, what may appear scattered from the outside often hides an incredibly capable, curious, and resourceful mind.

My coaching approach is simple: I'm a collaborator.
I don't claim to have all the answers—but I'm good at helping people explore and discover approaches that work for them.

My goal is to create a space where people can finally see themselves with a little more clarity—and a lot less judgment.
