Growth /ɡrōTH/ (noun):

Permission to stop trying to be someone else. What happens when self-acceptance becomes the foundation for every other change you want to make. Often, it means better awareness of masking, unrealistic expectations, or external pressures, so that authentic strengths can emerge. Sometimes, it is subtraction instead of addition, and acceptance instead of change, especially within environments that value and support who you truly are.

Meet your guides

This Summit brings together over 30 extraordinary ADHD voices and experts ranging from coaches, creators, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and educators.

They represent the full richness of ADHD culture. It’s innovation, honesty, adaptability, and depth. They’re here to answer the questions you’ve been wanting to ask and the keys to their success.
