#145 ADHD Conference take-aways (experts you need to know about!)
“Telling neurodivergent people to try harder is like telling someone with Type 1 diabetes to just make insulin.”
That line stopped me in my tracks… and it was only one of the powerful moments from the ADHD Conference I just MC’d here in NZ.
If you ever get the chance to attend an ADHD conference… do it. The energy, the learning, the ‘OMG same’ moments - truly amazing!
In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest lessons from each speaker, plus some behind-the-scenes as the MC from the most recent ADHD Conference here in NZ.
Here’s a taste of what we cover:
- Jaime - ADHD at Work
How to choose whether to disclose your ADHD at work (the benefit & disadvantages)
- Burnout Panel - with Ashley, Jaime & Kate
Burnout isn’t “normal,” but it is common in our community.
I share the one thing I wish I knew years ago, & my go-to tools for navigating your way through it
- Carrie - ADHD & Home Organisation
Knowing your organisational style is a game changer (combining the in sight in mind with the out of sight out of mind) + how using a simple tray tided up my kitchen counter!
- Freddie - The David Goggins of NZ
A living example of ADHD possibility. Favourite line: “Telling ND people to try harder is like telling someone with Type 1 diabetes to just make insulin.”
- Rebecca - Trauma, ADHD & People Pleasing
Why we people please to avoid RSD!! Plus the difference between ADHD hyperactivity & trauma hyperactivity
