THRIVING WITH ADHD IN THE WORKPLACE
Last Saturday 7 December, we were lucky to have Rachel Worsley, a former journalist and legal marketer turned neurodiversity advocate, present tips and tricks for thriving in your career while living with ADHD.
Through her personal story, Rachel revealed how anyone with ADHD can make the most of their strengths in order to succeed in the workplace.
The turn out was incredibly strong as we wrapped up our Awareness Afternoon events for 2019, with positive feedback from attendees who found the tips, advice and practical strategies informative, and who left feeling they had a greater sense of direction and hope about their workplace rights.

Many adults with ADHD live full, productive lives. Countless highly successful men and women in all areas of life have also succeeded. There are challenges, but by using the strengths and managing the pitfalls you can thrive.
