Understanding ADHD at Work: Tools for Supportive Leadership
Understanding ADHD at Work: Tools for Supportive Leadership (in-person event)
Managers play a vital role in shaping inclusive, productive workplaces — but when it comes to supporting colleagues with ADHD, many feel unsure where to start. This panel event is designed specifically for managers who want to better understand ADHD and learn practical, compassionate ways to support neurodivergent team members.
Join us for a candid and insightful conversation with a panel of speakers who bring lived experience, professional expertise, and actionable advice. Through real-world examples and honest discussion, we’ll explore:
- What ADHD can look like in the workplace (and how it’s often misunderstood)
- Common challenges ADHD employees face — and how managers can help
- Simple adjustments that make a big difference
- How to foster trust, flexibility, and clear communication
Whether you're managing someone with a formal diagnosis or simply want to lead with more awareness and empathy, this session will equip you with tools to be a more confident and supportive manager.
