ADHD at Work – 90 min Webinar

Beyond the stereotype. For managers and whole teams.

Most of what your organisation knows about ADHD comes from a stereotype: a disruptive eight-year-old boy. Adult ADHD, especially in women, looks almost nothing like that, which is why so much of it in your workforce is unrecognised, including by the people who have it.

This webinar replaces the stereotype with a working model: what ADHD actually is in adults, what it looks like in your teams, and how to design work so it starts.

Duration: 1.5 hours (60 minutes training, 30 minutes Q&A)

Format: Virtual (unless otherwise arranged)

Price: £500 (no VAT). For audiences over 40, contact us for pricing.

Scheduling: UK time; lunchtime and twilight sessions available

The challenge

ADHD-related workplace disputes are rising faster than almost any other category, and adult recognition, particularly among women, is climbing steeply. The colleague who is superb in a crisis and adrift in a quiet week, the brilliant analyst drowning in expense forms, the resignation after one piece of surprise feedback: these are already in your organisation, filed under the wrong names.

Managed against type, ADHD looks like a performance problem. Managed with it, it looks like an advantage. The difference is a set of cheap, structural habits: shrink the first step, make deadlines near and real, write everything down, and keep feedback expected.

What you’ll learn

  • What ADHD actually is. Attention regulation, executive function and interest-driven engagement: a working model, not a medical lecture.

  • The adult version, especially in women. Internal restlessness, expensive coping scaffolding, and why recognition arrives so late.

  • What you’re seeing. The crisis performer, the deadline cliff, the admin wall, with the character stories retired.

  • Designing for starting. Checkpoints, body doubling, externalised memory, and killing the admin cliff.

  • Managing ADHD colleagues well. Deploy the spike, scaffold the dip, never average them, and mind the burnout cycle.

  • Culture and disclosure. Responding well, universal design, retiring the jokes, and the legal reality in brief.
