Empowering Neurodiversity in the workplace

Hi, I am Becca!

I'm Becca, a passionate advocate for neurodiversity and understanding ADHD in the workplace. Living with ADHD (combined presentation) myself, I bring a unique blend of professional experiences and personal insights to the conversation about creating inclusive, productive work environments. Equity in the workplace is especially important for us as neurodiverse folk; if given the adjustments and support we need, we can not only survive, but thrive at work.

My professional journey

My career path has been varied, in true ADHD style! From my early days in customer relations to roles in sales and account management, I've always excelled in building relationships and understanding people's needs. My time at a FTSE 100 bank gave me a solid foundation for navigating large organisations and the politics of the office environment, and I then had to adapt quickly to the drastic changes of the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown. It was during this time, recognising the disruption to my routine, hyperfocusing on work outside of my core hours, and my inability to finish any tasks to completion, that I realised something wasn’t working for my brain.

Throughout my career, I’ve recognised that I was struggling, but never quite understood why. I saw so much of my own journey in the struggles I heard from other neurodiverse people, and I wanted to find a way that I could tangibly make a difference. After my own diagnosis in early 2024, I was inspired to become an ADHD Coach with Leanne Maskell's ADHD Works, and led to me being headhunted for Inclusive Change Ltd as Support Specialist.

My Speaking Style

I pride myself on being engaging, insightful, and empathetic. My presentations blend personal anecdotes, research-based strategies, and interactive elements that leave audiences both informed and inspired. I like making complex topics accessible, and providing concrete, implementable solutions to common workplace challenges.
