Navigating the world with an ADHD brain can be exhausting. The rollercoaster ride from clinical assessments through diagnosis to treatment can leave you feeling anxious and isolated, worried about failing or feeling different.

This handy guide is here to change all that. If you have (or suspect you have) ADHD, you’ll know the frustration of being given neurotypical or clinical advice – but this is straight from an ADHD brain to you.

The accessible A-Z format, covering everything from burnout and finances to time management and relationships, gives you the tips and confidence you need to reach your full potential. It empowers you to understand why ADHD brains work the way they do and how to harness your unique mind to think creatively and overcome any hurdle life throws at you.

Time

Event Details

For over nine years, WeAreTechWomen has proudly championed women in tech through their renowned conferences and events. Since 2020, over 10,000 women worldwide have joined us at the One Tech World virtual conference to learn, connect, and inspire one another in tech. We’re not just a media company—this mission is personal. With women making up only 24% of the tech workforce, there’s a clear need for change.

On March 28, 2025, we’re excited to deliver our sixth global virtual learning experience on our advanced conferencing platform.

This year’s conference will be a dynamic space for exploring emerging technologies and disruptive trends across the industry—and thanks to the support of our exceptional sponsors, attendance will be entirely FREE.

Global Virtual Tech Conference

We’re committed to broadening the view of technology’s future for both current and aspiring women in tech. By highlighting the industry’s future and encouraging women from all backgrounds to consider tech careers, we aim to foster inclusivity—crucial for creating products and systems that reflect and serve everyone.

While our conference can’t resolve gender parity overnight, it acts as a powerful catalyst for change. One Tech World empowers attendees to explore global tech advancements, gain essential insights, and build the skills and networks necessary for the evolving tech landscape.

Join globally renowned speakers and an inspiring group of TechWomen100 award alumni as they share invaluable insights in our interactive sessions spanning a wide range of technology topics. Beyond thought-provoking presentations, we’ll host career development panels, engaging fireside chats, and robust networking opportunities through live chat rooms.

Our agenda is thoughtfully designed with feedback from our community to ensure it meets their evolving needs. We aim not only to accelerate participants’ careers but to offer a comprehensive view of the tech landscape and its influence on the future of work.

Learn how HR can support employees with dementia by fostering inclusive policies, raising awareness and creating a strengths-based culture.

With rising retirement ages and a growing number of younger people diagnosed with dementia (over 71,000 under 65), it’s vital for HR professionals to increase awareness and understanding of dementia in the workplace. This session will explore how dementia can affect individuals differently and provide practical strategies for offering meaningful support at work.

Why This Matters for HR Professionals

Younger employees with dementia may face unique challenges, such as balancing caregiving responsibilities or raising children alongside their diagnosis. Navigating workplace systems can be overwhelming for them, but with the right policies and approaches, you can make a difference.

At this session, we’ll challenge outdated perceptions of dementia and focus on how HR leaders can foster inclusive, strengths-based environments that empower individuals at every stage of their journey.

Who Should Attend?

This session is designed for HR professionals, managers, occupational health teams, and anyone responsible for employee wellbeing. If you’re keen to create a workplace culture that truly supports colleagues with dementia, this is for you.

About Effro

We are part of Platfform, the mental health and social change charity with over 30 years experience. Effro is Platfform’s dementia support project which supports people living with dementia to lead fulfilling lives based on sensory experiences and activities that spark real joy.

Many dementia charities and organisations only focus on the practical or medical needs of the people they work with. At Effro, we believe there’s more that can be done; that recognising the needs, preferences and individuality of each person creates opportunities for a better life.

Through this approach, we work with people to explore the things that interest them, that bring fascination or excitement, and that add to a life joyfully lived.

The work we do with people living with dementia includes activity sessions in any residential setting, one-to-one support, liaison and guidance, and new ways and ideas to reignite passions and stir positive memories.

Rhian Pitt

Rhian has been co-producing, developing, and delivering workshops with Effro since the training team was formed in 2021. With nearly 15 years of experience in teaching and training, she also brings personal connections to dementia, remaining mindful of the topic’s sensitive nature.

Bringing female founders together to cowork in our accelerator events space on a monthly basis; informal connectivity and network expansion.

As longstanding supporters of Women in Business we understand the various challenges that women might face when setting up or running their business, and our goal is to make a positive difference to women in business across the UK through our Business Builder and Accelerator programme and our Women in Business Specialists who provide tailored support for women looking to start up and grow their business, no matter what their size or sector.

As the largest supporter of UK businesses, we champion anyone starting or growing a business, with a specific focus on women and those from ethnic minority communities.

NatWest is a business that understands when customers and people succeed, communities succeed, and the economy thrives. As part of our purpose, we are looking at how we can drive change for our communities in enterprise, learning and climate. As one of the leading supporters of UK business, we are prioritising enterprise as a force of change. This includes focusing on the people and communities who have traditionally faced the highest barriers to entry and figuring out ways to remove these. Learning is also key to their continued growth as a company in an ever changing and increasingly digital world.

Detailed research found that the biggest opportunities to help female entrepreneurs fell into three areas:
1. Increasing the Funding directed towards them.
2. Greater family care support
3. Relatable and accessible mentors and networks.
Yet, despite more women setting up and scaling up in business the disparity between men and women starting businesses remains and the latest research shows that women in business are still not getting their fair share of funding.

Join us to cowork and network; the kettles on.

Bring your laptop or device to get some work done, we’ll provide the wifi and the biscuits!
