Keynote Speaker (DAY 2) - Tamara Rosier, PhD

Clinical Psychologist, Author

Dr. Tamara Rosier is a captivating and highly regarded speaker, widely recognized as a leading authority on ADHD and neurodiversity. Her signature blend of warmth, humor, and practical wisdom transforms complex concepts into relatable, actionable insights that resonate with diverse audiences.

As the founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, Dr. Rosier has dedicated her career to empowering individuals, families, and organizations to embrace the unique strengths of ADHD. Drawing on her rich professional background—as a college administrator, professor, leadership consultant, high school teacher, business owner, and ADHD coach—she offers invaluable insights into how ADHD shapes and impacts daily life.

Please note a change in our keynote lineup: our original speaker Dr. Thomas E. Brown is no longer able to attend our 17th Annual ADHD Conference. However, back by popular demand, Ari Tuckman joins us once again as our Day 1 keynote, along with Tamara Rosier for Day 2!

Are you a business owner or HR professional interested in educating your workplace about ADHD?

This workshop is designed for Managers and HR Professionals working with people with ADHD. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of ADHD and how it can impact work performance, as well as practical tools and strategies to ensure employees with ADHD are able to thrive in the workplace.

While those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can have very fulfilling careers, some individuals with ADHD can face several issues in the workplace. ADHD can have a significant impact on an individual's ability to thrive in the workplace. Difficulty with organization, time management, and social and emotional regulation can lead to challenges in productivity, communication, and collaboration with colleagues. Each individual with ADHD deals with a different set of challenges, therefore it’s important to consider their unique skills and strengths to design ADHD-friendly strategies, accommodations, and modification that can be implemented in the workplace.

These engaging workshops will provide an overview of how employees with ADHD may be impacted at work as well as strategies for managing symptoms and maximizing productivity. Managers and HR Professionals will learn tools and strategies to help unlock the potential of employees with ADHD. Participants will learn best practices on how to support and accommodate neurodiversity in the workplace.

Topics to be covered include:
