Online Webinar: Understanding ADHD and how it affects work

Focus, time, memory, motivation, emotions - they all play a different role when you're living and working with ADHD.

From losing track of tasks mid-way to bursts of hyperfocus and creative problem-solving, ADHD in adulthood is a landscape of strengths and challenges that is often misunderstood - especially in a fast-paced early years environment.

This webinar offers a clear, supportive look at what ADHD really means in day-to-day work. Whether you're an educator, room leader, or nursery manager, you’ll gain practical insight into how ADHD affects executive functioning, communication, and energy - and how to build strategies that help you work with your brain instead of against it.

With honest reflection and real-life examples, we’ll explore how to move beyond masking or “trying harder” — and towards a strengths-based, empowering way of working.
