Based in the UK, Debs is one of the growing numbers of women diagnosed with ADHD in later life.
Being bright and highly driven with a love of learning, plus inadvertently finding a corporate career niche that played to her strengths, left her undiagnosed until the wheels fell off due to the combined impact of a young family and perimenopause.
As a result, Debs is passionate about raising awareness of ADHD in women so that ours is the last generation of late-diagnosed, misdiagnosed and undiagnosed women.
Helping late-diagnosed professionals develop sustainable strategies and effective self-advocacy at work is her specialist area, to which she brings 25+ years of senior-level corporate experience, plus both menopause and ADHD expertise.
She strongly believes that neurodiversity is an essential – but often missing – component of inclusive workplace well-being, and is committed to helping organisations create inclusive workplaces where professionals with ADHD can thrive.
Debs also enjoys working with intense, justice-sensitive deep thinkers who self-identify as twice exceptional but don’t see themselves as gifted.
