Women with ADHD

in Business

Specialist awareness sessions

& lived-experience insight

delivered by Maisie Cass

Curiosity, confidence and compassion - redefining how we support ADHD women in business.

Women with ADHD are navigating a world that wasn’t designed with their brains in mind - and many are doing it while raising neurodivergent children, managing homes, leading teams, and carrying an emotional load that goes unseen.

Maisie helps organisations understand this experience with honesty, depth, and compassion.


Through lived experience as a late-diagnosed ADHD woman and mum, alongside 20 years of cross-sector professional expertise, she brings a perspective that few corporate trainers can offer.

These sessions give organisations the awareness, confidence, and insight to better support ADHD women - empowering them to thrive in their roles, feel understood, and bring their full brilliance to work.

WHY THIS MATTERS IN TODAY'S WORKPLACE

ADHD in women often presents differently - masked, internalised, and misunderstood.
In business, this can show up as:

- chronic overwhelm despite high capability

- inconsistent performance in inconsistent environments

- emotional exhaustion from juggling work (+ parenting/caring)

- perfectionism, masking, burnout or over-compensation

- sensory overload and regulation difficulties

- brilliant ideas but difficulty sustaining execution

- exceptional problem-solving + people skills

- loyalty, intuition, empathy, creativity, innovation

With the right understanding and conditions, ADHD women aren’t just “coping” -
they become some of the most impactful, resilient, and innovative people on your team.

What Makes Maisie’s Approach Unique

Maisie brings something rare and deeply valuable:

a powerful blend of lived experience, professional expertise, emotional intelligence - and an understanding of the brain and nervous system that most training never touches.

Her approach bridges the often-missed gap between how the ADHD brain actually works, how the central nervous system shapes behaviour, regulation and stress responses, and how the external and internal environments around us can either support or sabotage our ability to thrive

This means going far beyond generic “awareness training.”

Maisie helps organisations create the conditions - sensory, emotional, relational and cognitive - that work with the ADHD brain, not against it. When this alignment is in place, ADHD women become their most brilliant, creative, productive and successful selves.

But what truly sets her apart is how she delivers the message.

Maisie’s sessions blend:

  • raw, honest lived experience (the stuff no one else says out loud)

  • humour, warmth and humility (because ADHD life is messy and human)

  • stories that resonate deeply (and often have the room nodding, laughing or crying)

  • evidence-informed insight grounded in neurobiology

  • gentle but powerful reframing that leaves people seeing ADHD differently

Her speaking style is real, relatable and unpolished in the best possible way - not sugar-coated, not clinical, but human, hopeful and quietly bold.

And importantly, every session is delivered personally by Maisie.
You’re not booking a facilitator.

You’re booking a specialist who understands the brain, the behaviour, and the lived reality of ADHD - and who knows how to translate that into compassion, clarity and practical change.
