Meet Our Founder
Michael J Perez
With over 20 years experience in leadership, coaching and training, Michael brings both professional expertise and lived experience to his work. The journey to founding Willful Steps began at home.
When Michael second child was diagnosed with ADHD, he found himself reflecting deeply on his parenting and the impact of everyday choices. This eye-opening experience led to a personal revelation: Michael had been living with undiagnosed ADHD.
Realising just how easy it is for ADHD to go unnoticed, undiagnosed and unsupported, he felt compelled to change he narrative, not just for his own family, but for others navigating similar paths. Michael's core belief is that "Every Brain Belongs".
He is driven by the philosophy that when we know better we can do better, and that real change must start with compassion. His mission is ro provide practical support and education for neurodivergent individuals and those around them, so that everyone in their lives can thrive.
