Catherine clarified misconceptions about neurodiversity, advocating for its value as a resource rather than viewing it as a challenge to be overcome.

Workplaces are often designed with an unspoken assumption: that everyone can manage time, attention, memory and task initiation in the same way. For many neurodivergent workers—particularly those with ADHD—this creates a hidden layer of risk.

In this webinar, you will learn how executive functioning demands built into everyday work design can increase cognitive load, contribute to burnout, and be misinterpreted as poor performance or non-compliance. More importantly, you will gain practical, system-based strategies to redesign work so that it supports how people actually think and function.

Featuring Focus Bear, this session demonstrates how simple tools and structured workflows can scaffold executive functioning, improve consistency, and reduce psychosocial risk, without placing the burden on the individual.
