PLACE: Toronto, Ted Rogers School of Management

Sarah has been a lawyer since 2007, working in law firms, in-house departments, and in sole practice. She was shocked when her doctor diagnosed her with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)! The condition is often stigmatized as an excuse for laziness and misbehaviour. She’s since learned that nearly 3 times more lawyers report having experience with ADHD than the general population. Also, ADHD is not what she thought!

Every person with ADHD experiences different symptoms and strengths. Many, like Sarah, rely on the support of others to thrive at work. No matter your neurotype, your unique strengths can help business prosper.

Sarah will share what ADHD really is, and:
– What makes the legal workplace so attractive to the ADHD brain;
– How and why the positive and negative traits of ADHD may show up at work;
– Simple supports that can make a BIG impact for those with ADHD; and
– How folks without ADHD play a key role in unlocking their colleagues’ potential.

When we cultivate a neurodiverse workforce, the unique blend of strengths and skills can generate impressive results. Just like every role contributes to a profitable and efficient workplace, so too does every thinking style!
