If work often feels overwhelming, inconsistent, or harder than it seems it should be, you’re not alone. For many people with ADHD, it’s not a lack of effort or care, it’s the way executive functioning works, and it can make everyday tasks feel heavier than they “should” be.
This session is a chance to step back from that pressure and start making sense of it in a more compassionate, practical way. You’ll begin to understand how executive functioning shows up in real working life, especially in busy environments where there’s always more to do than time or energy allows.
From there, we’ll focus on what actually helps. You’ll explore simple, realistic ways to reduce overwhelm, ease mental load, and support yourself through the working day in a way that feels more manageable and less exhausting.
We’ll also look at how to confidently advocate for yourself and communicate what you need to work effectively, without feeling like you’re asking for too much or having to constantly justify yourself. Whether that’s for you or someone you manage, the focus is on clearer, kinder communication that supports better ways of working.
Most importantly, this isn’t about changing who you are or forcing yourself to “fit” a system that doesn’t work for you. It’s about finding approaches that work with your ADHD, so work feels a little less draining and a lot more doable.
And the biggest takeaway? You’ll leave with realistic, practical strategies you can immediately apply to support focus, organisation, and self-management. whether for yourself or your team.
