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.
Part 2 – Understanding the magic, and next steps
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.

Shaped by her own neurodivergent experiences, Viki intimately understands how to help neuro-spicy brains thrive in their work and perform at their peak.
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.

Monthly online networking for professional women, mums-in-business, mums-to-be and anyone who resonates with the word, or role, of mum!
The word “Mum” connects us all.
✅ We all have one,
✅ May have lost one,
✅ Have chosen to become one,
✅ Are struggling to become one
✅ Do not want to become one
✅ Are struggling now that we are one
These subjects can raise SO many questions and it is time to make a change.
We are proud to host: “This Girl is a Mum…..and SO much more”.
A collective and collaborative online networking group designed to give you a platform to ask those questions that you don’t always want to say out loud.
A chance to be in a safe space where women share their stories, thoughts and insights into every aspect of the word Mum.
This space is for you to just be you, warts and all…….without the labels, the responsibilities, the guilt or the judgements…..this is just for you and whatever you need right now!
This is an encouraging space where we support each other, develop our networks, create and build relationships, draw inspiration and empower ourselves.
We invite you to just come along as you – leave your other roles and responsibilities at the virtual door for an hour and take this time to just be you – nothing more, nothing less.
There are no networking ‘pitches’ – simply the opportunity to introduce yourself to the group and explain what support, introductions or connections you are looking for right now.
We will also have guest speakers, themes and topics of discussion that challenge the norm, and allow us to speak openly and comfortably about subjects that we are often told are ‘not appropriate’ or should be kept ‘private’.
We aim to normalise, discuss and feel supported around these topics, whilst helping each other to grow ourselves, our networks and our businesses or careers.
We invite you to be part of it…..

Around 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent. For employers, this figure represents a significant proportion of the workforce, including existing employees and new applicants.
Our Neurodiversity in the Workplace online training provides practical advice and guidance for organisations wishing to develop and support a neurodiverse workforce.
You will develop a deeper understanding of neurological conditions such as, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and ADHD. The conditions will be described through a lived experience perspective, and the impact clearly explained. Improve your confidence to discuss neurodiversity with your employees and unlock the benefits at work.
Course leader and neurodiversity expert, Helen Eaton, will walk you through emerging best practice and common pitfalls to avoid. Engage with case studies on a range of challenges: ensuring inclusion in recruitment, training line managers to support neurodivergent employees; and accessing neurodivergent talent.
The practical application of legal requirements and reasonable adjustment requests will be explored. Understand where workplace adjustments can be made. How are other organisations creating a working environment where neodiverse minds can flourish?
During this one-day course, there will be opportunities to discuss your experiences of neurodiversity and share ideas on how to unlock the power of alternative thinking.

Part of our Pregnancy Loss and Work event series: Miscarriage and mental health illness at work.
Pregnancy loss is associated with significant psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, and more recently, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, women seldom receive formal diagnosis or support. Within this session, delegates are able to explore the current research within this area, and how to better support friends and colleagues experiencing such implications.

- “I can’t recommend this workshop enough – not just what you learn but how you shape women’s health careers and the brilliant people you meet”
