THE HIDDEN RISKS ALREADY COSTING YOU

ADHD alone costs the UK economy an estimated £17 billion a year.

But the impact inside your organisation is harder to measure, and just as serious.

  • Hidden talent gets missed

  • People leave quietly

  • Teams fracture

  • Legal risks pile up

Most support systems weren’t built for neurodivergent minds.

The result? Frustration, exclusion, and wasted potential. Posters and lunch-and-learns won’t fix it. You need leadership that understands the nuance and knows how to act on it.

This work is rooted in lived experience.

Tom was the neurodivergent kid no one knew what to do with. He was called difficult when he was just different. That experience shaped everything.

Now, with a decade of academic research and hands-on advisory work behind him, he helps organisations lead with more care and clarity. His work is honest, practical, and built for teams who want to do better, and mean it.

    Lauren - Workshop Attendee

  • "I just wanted to write and say how much I enjoyed your talk. I was riveted throughout. Listening to every word, I certainly had no lapse in concentration which I find I have in normal life. I thought your story was so eloquent, you added in humour and kept the dark bits light, but powerful. Such an important story to tell. "
