Part 1 – Experience the magic of virtual body doubling
Be introduced to the magic of body doubling—working in the presence of others to enhance focus, and be guided through techniques to help you put it into action. You’ll then experience body doubling firsthand as you dive into your chosen task for 25-minutes alongside a supportive community of fellow ADHDers. After the focused work session, we’ll guide you through a brief period of relaxation and invite you to reflect on your achievements and the quality of your focus.

Unpack the science of ‘flow’ and uncover how this elusive state can transform not just your work, but your overall quality of life. Learn about the neuroscience behind deep focus, why multitasking is a myth, especially for ADHD minds, and how to use virtual body doubling to train ourselves to enter ‘the zone’ on command.

FAQ’s
Who is the event for?
Everybody struggling with focus, distraction or wanting to improve their productivity, aka essentially all of us. It is especially suited for anyone that is neurodivergent or suspects they might be. But everybody is welcome, and understanding the concepts we’ll explore makes work better for everyone.
What is body doubling?
Body doubling is a powerful technique used to improve focus and productivity. It’s simply the act of working in the presence of somebody else. This gives you a sense of companionship, but also a boost of accountability and motivation. And if you struggle with distractions, a body double gives you an ‘anchor’ for your focus, to bring you back to what you mean to be doing.
It’s a technique that’s often recommended to people with ADHD – but it works for everybody.
What do I need to bring to the event?
Bring a task you want to get done, and expect to spend some time actually doing that task. It can be anything – getting to inbox zero, writing a difficult report, or planning out a presentation. Just make it a clearly defined task so you’re ready to get stuck into it.
How long is the session?
The session will last 50-60 minutes.
What is FLOWN?
FLOWN is an online platform that uses the power of virtual co-working to help people stay focused and beat distraction. We offer ‘body doubling’ sessions throughout the working day, as well as other tools proven to help you focus – such as weekly breathwork sessions, communal morning routines, work-with-me movies, and more.

Join Christine Brown-Quinn and Miranda Sharp and find out how to translate your personal story into a unique leadership approach & style.
Looking elsewhere for inspiration can sometimes be tricky as it takes us further away from who we are, what we have to offer, and how we’re at our best. Leaning into what you value, and the experiences you’ve had (the positive and the negative) is what makes you unique. The irony is the more you’re honest about the ‘face’ you’re sharing with the others, the more others like you and want to connect with you.
According to the 2023 Deloitte’s DEI Institute™, 60% of workers report ‘covering’ (hiding who they really are) at work within the last 12 months. This is nearly the same percentage (61%) of respondents who reported covering at work in their 2013 report. It doesn’t appear that the pandemic had lasting effect in making us more human at work.
Christine Brown-Quinn, The Female Capitalist® welcomes data science entrepreneur Miranda Sharp to the Career Masterclass Series to hear how she has shaped her powerful and distinctive leadership style by unreservedly owning the joy and pain of her personal story.
To find out how to translate your personal story into a unique leadership approach & style, join the webinar “Make the Person You Are Your Competitive Advantage” on Thursday, the 25th of April 2024 at noon London.
Look forward to “seeing” you on Thursday, the 25th of April at noon London time.
