Specialist online training for PAs, EAs and professionals who support others at work
The person you support may be a founder, business owner, director, senior leader or other high-performing professional. They’re capable and successful, yet may struggle with some of the everyday demands of work.
Perhaps they miss deadlines, struggle to prioritise, become overwhelmed, lose track of actions or find it difficult to turn ideas into action. And sometimes, despite your best efforts, reminders, calendars, lists and check-ins just don’t seem to work.

Designed particularly for PAs, EAs, Freelance PAs/EAs, Chiefs of Staff and Office Managers, it’s flexible, online and packed with strategies you can apply straight away.

Neuro-inclusive support starts with understanding
The most effective support doesn’t start with another reminder, another calendar or another to-do list.
It starts with understanding why someone thinks, works and responds differently.
This course introduces the role of executive functions in workplace performance and shows you how they influence planning, organisation, prioritisation, working memory, emotional regulation and task initiation.
Armed with this understanding, you’ll be able to provide practical, neuro-inclusive support that reduces friction, builds confidence and helps the people you support perform at their best.
Executive Function Challenges at Work
Executive function differences can affect many aspects of day-to-day working life. The neurodivergent professional you support may experience challenges in areas such as:
Task Initiation & Prioritisation
Knowing where to start, prioritising competing demands or moving from planning into action.
Organisation & Time Management
Managing emails, planning workloads, remembering actions, meeting deadlines and keeping systems organised.
Managing Cognitive Load
Handling interruptions, switching between tasks, regulating emotions and managing overwhelm in fast-paced environments.
.

Why this course was developed
The Neuro-inclusive Support Course was developed by Chantelle Roberts, Managing Director of Connections in Mind.
Chantelle recognised that many support professionals are expected to provide meaningful support without always receiving specialist training in executive functioning or neurodiversity.
Support that empowers
This course was created to bridge that gap by giving support workers, personal assistants and workplace professionals practical, evidence-informed strategies they can use every day.
It helps professionals provide support that is respectful, compassionate and empowering, while encouraging confidence and independence for neurodivergent individuals.
