ADHD LGBTQ+ Career & Leadership Cross‑Cultural Amsterdam & Online

More iguanas. Fewer chameleons.

Many of us learn to be chameleons, editing ourselves to fit every room. Pink Iguana is about the other way: building a life around who we are, and growing without losing ourselves.

I'm Iggy, a coach and mentor in Amsterdam. One to one, we work on how your brain works, who you are, where your career is going, or the country you now call home, and build a life and work that fit. I've lived each of these myself. For organizations, I run workshops, talks, and consulting on neurodiversity, inclusion, and change.

Who I work with

For people and teams building their own playbook, because the standard one doesn't fit.

Four focus areas. Most people bring more than one.

Click on the rocks to see what success could look like.

ADHD

Your brain doesn't run the way work expects it to.

You built practical systems around how your brain works that actually change how your week goes. You are confident in what you need to excel, and prepared to tell your manager what that is.

LGBTQ+ at Work, in Life

You still check the room before you're fully you.

How you lead shows your team it's safe to stop masking too. You're comfortable being yourself, without worrying how it lands.

Career & Leadership in Change

It looks fine on paper. It doesn't feel right anymore.

You are confident about your next move and have the steps to get there. You have the tools that keep you and your team resilient while everything else shifts.

Cross-cultural Life

New life, new country. Your people are back home.

You notice and celebrate the small wins instead of rushing past them, and trust yourself a little more each time. You know how to connect with new people, so this move doesn't feel like something you're getting through alone.

Ways to Work Together

Hi, I'm Iggy.

I'm a coach in Amsterdam, trained at Erickson Coaching International. My career has spanned law, sustainability consulting and leading global client-facing teams. As a gay cis man with ADHD, I know what it costs to blend in. I help people trust how they're wired, own it, and build a life around it. More iguanas, fewer chameleons.

How I work

Plain about what this is

Expect warmth, empathy, respect, from the first minute, and at some point, expect to laugh at my weird sense of humor.
We work on where you're going, not a tour of what went wrong along the way.
Coaching, not therapy. I'll say plainly when what you need is a different professional.
What we discuss in a session stays in a session, with the rare exceptions the law requires. I'll tell you if one ever applies.
Sessions online worldwide, or also in person in Amsterdam. English or Hebrew.
Sessions run about an hour, sometimes longer when the work needs it.

Curious how this would work for you?

In their words

“Sometimes we are so used to the way we approach situations in our life that we don't even notice there are better ways out there.”

“Igal had a great way of getting me to assess my mindset and realize alternative ways of dealing with both my professional and private life. Within the first five sessions we already identified multiple thought processes that were holding me back and applied useful tools to untangle and re-assess them. Overall can confidently recommend Igal as a coach (and as a person!).”

What is the free call?

Thirty minutes to get clear on what is actually in the way

01

You talk, I ask

You describe what's going on. I ask the questions that get underneath it. No intake form, no assessment.

02

We test the fit

You get a real sense of how I work, and I tell you plainly if coaching is the wrong tool for what you're carrying.

03

You can decide after

Nothing is decided on the call. If you want to go ahead, we book a first session. If not, you keep whatever came up.

FAQ

What people ask before booking

Cost, number of sessions, language, how coaching differs from therapy — the questions people usually ask before booking.

What would you build if you started from who you are, not what's expected?

Thirty minutes, free, and you don't have to decide anything on it. Sessions after that start at €70.
