1.9 - Hacking Focus: Rewiring Productivity for the ADHD Mind

10 Feb 2025
MCEC room 219
Breakout Sessions: Workplace Management

Have you ever noticed how some employees thrive in the midst of what seems like chaos? Or how they can laser-focus on a project, while routine tasks feel insurmountable? That's the ADHD mind - creative, hyper-focused, but often misunderstood by traditional workplaces. Vanessa’s mother did not have time to go to mental health experts to diagnose her with autism or ADHD, and Vanessa is highly thankful for that. Always knowing she was different from the pact, Vanessa Zamy was still able to live a fulfilling childhood, achieving her goals with confidence and peer support. Then, she entered corporate America. She adapted. She attempted to fit into the “norms”, and unfortunately lost herself and almost lost her mind in the process. In this session, we'll break down the science of ADHD focus, revealing why traditional leadership can miss the mark and how you can effectively design your leadership for the neurodivergent workforce.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Leverage ADHD Strengths: Meeting planners will discover how to harness their innate creativity, hyperfocus, and adaptability to design and execute exceptional events.
  • Lead with Neurodiversity in Mind: Leaders will gain practical strategies to support and empower their ADHD team members, fostering a culture of productivity and innovation.
  • Optimise Collaboration: Both planners and leaders will learn effective communication and collaboration techniques that bridge neurodiversity gaps, ensuring successful meetings and projects.
