You're p*ssing off your potential. FULL

Your potential is fuming.
It’s fed up of sitting in the backseat while you cruise through life with the handbrake on. In this uncomfortably relatable session, we’ll dive into the power of conscious development, the mindset shifts that separate the stuck from the unstoppable, and why stepping outside your comfort zone isn’t a cliché.
You’ll walk away with a sharper mindset and a whole new fire in your belly to build the version of yourself that your potential is ready for you to become.

What is ADHD? FULL

Friday June 27, 2025 11:40am - 12:35pm BST

Symphony Hall

Since joining the trust in April last year, I have researched about neurodiversity and found myself gravitating towards learning all about ADHD. Since learning all about the traits, I am currently awaiting an assessment myself. I would like the opportunity to share my PowerPoint with you, so you can learn all about the traits, side effects of medication and how to manage students in your class. I am not a qualified professional so I may not have all the answers but to spread awareness is my ultimate goal.
