ADHD Productivity vs. Procrastination
Do you have individuals on your team who are brilliant but struggle with deadlines? Ever wondered why some ADHDers thrive under pressure while others freeze? Understanding the difference between ADHD productivity and procrastination is key to unlocking your team’s full potential.
Join us in June when Suzi Payton, an AuDHD speaker, comedian, and coach, will lead the way as she breaks down what ADHD looks like at work, challenges the misconceptions, and explores practical ways that you can support your neurodivergent team members in a way that works for them.
Struggling to Manage ADHD Productivity in Your Team? You’re Not Alone.
ADHD is often misunderstood, especially in a workplace environment where productivity is the end goal. Many managers mistake ADHD-related procrastination for laziness when, in reality, it’s often linked to overwhelm, executive dysfunction, or even hyperfocusing on the wrong task.
In this session, we’ll redefine what ADHD productivity really looks like, why procrastination isn’t just your employee “not trying hard enough,” and how small shifts in management approach can lead to massive improvements in engagement and output.
Whether you lead a small team or an entire organisation, this webinar will help you better understand and support your ADHD employees in a way that everyone can benefit.
What’s in it for you?
Misunderstanding ADHD in the workplace leads to frustration for both managers and employees. But with the right approach, ADHDers can be some of the most creative, driven, and high-performing members of your team.
Led by Suzi Payton, who’s not just an expert but lives this experience every day, she knows first-hand what works, what doesn’t, and how to turn misunderstood challenges into strengths. As an AuDHD speaker, comedian, and educator, Suzi combines her deep personal insight with years of experience coaching and educating organisations on how to create truly inclusive environments.
Suzi’s unique blend of humour, lived experience, and practical advice will leave you with a fresh perspective and real-world strategies to create a workplace where neurodivergent employees don’t just survive but they thrive.
