ADHD & Autism Workplace Adjustments and  Wellbeing 

High achieving autistic and ADHDers have one thing in common, their careers are powered by their special interests and ability to channel their  natural abilities to their work. The 140-200% productivity levels of AuDHDers  can power teams to great success but often lends themselves to burnout.

Sam’s ADHD & Autism Workplace Adjustments & Wellbeing keynote:

This training has been described as "the best learning experience of my  life”.

Neurodiversity & Leadership Training Workshops 

Sam runs half day workshops to dive deep into Neurodiversity & Leadership,  introducing neurodiversity at work and provides practical strategies,  resources, and tools to lead, relate to, and support neurodivergents that  models and promotes psychological safety.  

The modules are bespoke and get to the heart of solving the double empathy problem, through effective communication and understanding  individual experiences. Sam shares the tools to determine and harness the  strengths of neurodivergents and enable them to channel their natural  abilities. This training elucidates the best practices and common pitfalls in  leading a neurodiverse team and what tailored reasonable adjustments at  work look like. Our insights are built on the foundation of lived experience research and events-based learning from our ADHD Best Practice at Work conference and panels.
