Sign up now for our complimentary webinar

When: Thursday 4th December
Time: 13:00 - 14:00

Neurodivergence is often misunderstood as a barrier to focus or performance, but what if it’s actually the foundation of exceptional achievement?

Join Uspire's Mark Francis and Alan Stracey, certified ADHD coach and former Managing Director of a London-based creative agency, as he shares how understanding and reframing ADHD and other neurodivergent traits can unlock untapped potential in individuals and teams.

After receiving his own ADHD diagnosis at 40, Alan transformed his life and career by creating conditions that allowed his strengths to shine. Now, he coaches high-performing minds across the creative, performance, and sports sectors to do the same.

This session will challenge perceptions, bridge the gap between science and lived experience, and show leaders how to create environments where neurodivergent talent can truly thrive.

What We’ll Cover

  • Reframing Neurodivergence - shifting the narrative from limitation to performance advantage.

  • ADHD Traits as Superpowers - how the very qualities that drive impulsivity or hyperfocus also fuel success in sport, business, and innovation.

  • The Productivity Gap - 1 in 5 professionals are neurodivergent, and many burn out in workplaces that celebrate creativity but fail to support it.

  • Science vs. Real-World Experience - what leaders really need to know about ADHD and what matters most in daily work life.

  • Translating Insight into Action - how inclusive leadership, clarity, and autonomy build cultures of sustained success.
