I have worked in the public sector most of my working life, working on projects for the Ministry of Justice, Department for Education as well as countless local authorities and arms length bodies.

Progressing into senior leadership with ADHD
Session Type: 20 Minute Session
My name's Stu and I have ADHD. It's been a blessing and a curse for a good chunk of my life, but I manage it with both coping strategies and medication. However, as I've progressed up the ladder into a tech lead position, I've found I need to adapt how I work to be as effective as possible.
In this talk I'll talk about:
- What ADHD is (and isn't) - My personal history with my diagnosis - How it affects me in my working life - What strategies I used to help me be an effective tech lead
I'm hoping people will come away from this session, not only with an understanding of ADHD as a condition, but also how they can use the strategies I use to help them in their working life, whether they have ADHD or not.
