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.

Why Choose Me?

At Inclusive Change, we understand your ‘Why,’ and meet you where you are on your journey as a business. Whether you're looking to educate your HR or leadership teams, or provide valuable insights to your entire organisation, I can help. I don’t believe that we as neurodivergent people need to change who we are to succeed; with the right support, education and awareness, we can be ourselves without compromise.

From Brain Fog to Clarity: New Webinar Announced: Featuring Women’s Health Advocate Kirsty Brown

We’re thrilled to announce our latest online workshop, From Brain Fog to Clarity: Neurodivergence, Menopause & Work, a 90-minute webinar designed specifically for autistic and ADHD people navigating perimenopause or menopause.

And we’re even more excited to share that Kirsty Brown, a respected women’s health advocate, will be joining us as a special guest contributor. This workshop was born from a growing need we could no longer ignore: too many neurodivergent women are silently struggling through brain fog, overwhelm, and workplace burnout during menopause, with little understanding and even less support.

Why This Workshop Matters

If you’ve been:

Feeling scattered, unfocused or emotionally up-and-down

Struggling with work you used to manage easily

Questioning if you’re “losing it”

Hiding your challenges because you don’t know how to explain them

...you are not alone. And you are not the problem.

Menopause is neurological as well as hormonal, and for neurodivergent women, the impact on executive function, sensory processing, and emotional regulation can be profound.

We created this session to make sense of it all, offer real tools, and give you a space to feel seen and supported.

What You’ll Learn

How menopause affects neurodivergent brains
Why your usual coping strategies may no longer be working
The science behind brain fog, memory shifts and mood swings
How to manage executive dysfunction and advocate for support at work
Practical tools for calming overwhelm and reclaiming clarity

This isn’t just information. It’s validation. It’s community. It’s a new way of navigating this stage of life with awareness, not shame.

A quick note about our language

We use the term ‘women’ throughout this space to reflect the common experience of many, but we recognise that menopause is experienced by some trans men, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people too. You are welcome!
