Biography
Ani Moller is an autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) founder, leadership coach, and owner of Ani Moller Coaching. Formerly an Executive Director at a digital agency, leading large technology and project delivery programs, she now coaches neurodivergent professionals to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and free their creativity. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD at age 41, Ani's late diagnosis was an existential journey that shattered her previous sense of identity while bringing vital relief, self-compassion, and a language to unpack lifelong internalised ableism and negative self-talk. Following her diagnosis, Ani experienced severe skill regression and major burnout while navigating high-pressure corporate leadership during COVID-19 lockdowns. In 2023, after surviving a freak stroke that temporarily affected her eyesight and caused severe fatigue, she formally pivoted away from high-stress agency consulting to build her dedicated neurodivergent coaching practice. As a coach and member of the Australasian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA), Ani incorporates positive intelligence and mental fitness frameworks to help clients manage "saboteurs", strengths taken to extremes. She operates by core business principles such as "no dead ends" (ensuring clients are redirected to appropriate specialists if coaching is not the right fit) and "everything at the right time" (structuring scannable, low-cognitive-load communication). Ani emphasises coaching the person rather than just the problem, equipping clients with self-coaching tools, honouring "spiky profiles", building intentional transition times to prevent sensory exhaustion, and advocating for radical self-acceptance over chasing external validation.
