Join the Career Connection Employment Resource Institute for a special 2-part interactive training series + follow-up coaching session presented by the Cornell University Disability Workforce Development Center!
🧠 Executive Functioning (EF) in the Workplace Series: Supporting Individuals with ADHD and Neurodivergence
ADHD and executive functioning challenges can impact much more than attention and focus. Working memory, time perception, emotional regulation, motivation, and visual processing can all influence an individual’s experience in the workplace.

Without an understanding of these differences, workplace challenges may be misinterpreted as a lack of motivation, professionalism, or effort.

✨ In this series, participants will:
• Explore how ADHD and executive functioning differences can show up at work
• Learn to recognize less-visible executive functioning challenges
• Discuss real-world workplace barriers and case studies
• Identify practical strategies, accommodations, and coaching techniques
• Build skills to better support successful employment outcomes

📅 Part 1: Tuesday, August 11 | 10:30 AM–12:00 PM ET
📅 Part 2: Thursday, September 3 | 10:00–11:30 AM ET
📅 Follow-Up Coaching Session: Tuesday, September 22 | 10:30–11:30 AM ET
💻 All sessions are held virtually on Zoom.

The follow-up coaching session offers an opportunity to ask questions, bring real-life scenarios, practice applying strategies, and learn collaboratively with trainers and fellow participants.

📲 Registration is separate for each session.

Burnout doesn’t usually happen overnight.
It often shows up quietly—through mental fatigue, difficulty concentrating, emotional exhaustion, or feeling like you’re constantly “on.”
Recognizing these signs isn’t about labeling yourself. It’s about noticing what your mind and body may be trying to tell you.
Whether you’re supporting clients, coworkers, students, or your own family, your well-being matters, too.

Which slide resonated with you most?💚

That feeling when one new strategy makes your entire workday a little easier. 💃✨

Professional development does not always have to mean making big changes. Sometimes, one practical tool can help you feel more organized, communicate more clearly, manage your time, or approach a challenge with greater confidence.
At CCERI, our trainings are designed to provide strategies you can take back to your workplace and begin using right away!

Because one helpful idea can make a meaningful difference!💡🤗
