ADHD & Workplace law with Jodie Hill

7th January 2027 | 12:00-13:00 (UK)

Ever thought about creating your own workplace training?

Want to coach in the workplace, but not sure where coaching ends and the law begins?

Not sure what a "reasonable adjustment" actually is, what an employer has to do, or what happens when your client's manager says no?

Then let's deep dive into it.

Because the research backs up why this matters. 65% of people with ADHD worry about discrimination from their manager if they mention their diagnosis. 69% of workers have no access to reasonable adjustments because they never disclosed. Adults with ADHD are nearly 60% more likely to be dismissed. And fewer than one in four D&I policies mention neurodiversity at all. Which means it's very likely your clients are struggling at work right now, and their employer has no idea what it's legally supposed to do about it.

It shows up as the client on a performance plan for the exact things ADHD does. The one terrified to tell HR. The one who was told "we don't do adjustments for that". The one who's been off sick with stress for months, and nobody's asked whether it's ADHD.

Ten years as an EA in corporate, undiagnosed. So excited to get every job, brilliant for eight months, then that dreaded feeling and off to the next one. Convinced my inconsistent work would get me found out and fired. Nobody, including me, thought to ask whether it was ADHD. And here's the twist. All that job hopping means the very jobs I left have since asked me back, to train and educate them on ADHD. Workplace struggles are now the number one thing clients come to me for, and I've taken ADHD trainings into Brentford FC, News UK, Deliveroo and Monzo. And when it comes to the legal side of all this, Jodie is the person I want in my corner.

So, coach to coach: do you know what the Equality Act actually asks of an employer, and what it doesn't? Can you help a client prepare for the adjustments conversation without accidentally giving legal advice? Could you build a workplace training that HR would actually buy? And when does your client need a solicitor, not a coach?

The process to support ourselves and our clients through this is complex, which is why this Deep Chat happens on every single coach training we do. And now you can join this one without being on the training.

What you'll walk away with:

• The legal reality in plain English: what the Equality Act means for an ADHD client, what an employer must do, and where the line is

• What a reasonable adjustment actually looks like for ADHD, and how to help a client ask for one

• How to coach someone through disclosure, a performance plan or a grievance without stepping into a solicitor's job

• Where a coach fits alongside HR, occupational health and the law, and when to signpost

• What goes into a workplace training that employers will actually pay for

• Whether the workplace is the niche you want to build in

And there ain't no one better for the job than employment solicitor, founder of Thrive Law, the UK's leading law firm for mental health and neurodiversity at work, keynote speaker, and neuroinclusion expert, Jodie Hill. Diagnosed with ADHD in lockdown after years of trying to function in a world built for a different kind of brain. A woman who KNOWS, like really knows, because she's the solicitor, the founder and the ADHDer, all at once.
