Untangling the Emotions Behind Procrastination
In this brand-new talk, Dani Donovan shares unique insights about the root causes behind chronic procrastination, and why standard productivity advice fails so many of us. Using her signature blend of authenticity, vulnerability, and humor, she breaks down common negative emotions that get in the way of productivity (and what to do about them). This talk includes step-by-step guidance on how to create personalized solutions to overcome mental roadblocks—as well as unconventional strategies, gamified activities, and real-world examples from her new book, The Anti-Planner.

ADHD in the Workplace:
How to Create an Inclusive Environment for Neurodiverse Employees
Dani Donovan breaks down the unique strengths and challenges of being (or managing) an ADHDer in the workplace. She discusses the importance of empathy in work culture, explains how to open up about struggles and ask for accommodations, and gives actionable tips for leaders on how they can support (and bring out the best in) their ADHD employees.
Working From Home with ADHD
Making the switch to working from home has been challenging for many people, but it’s had an especially severe impact on those with ADHD. Dani discusses the helpful constructs in-person offices provided that were lost: structure, transition time, accountability, connection, and cues. She provides insight on why ADHD makes it hard to work without them, as well as strategies to help re-implement these concepts from the office back into employees’ home workspaces.
