Executive functioning impacts parts of daily life that can make it difficult to prepare for panel and workshop presentations. This workshop uses a trauma-informed and non-racist approach to the planning and preparation that makes public speaking easier to navigate. The course will cover planning, organizing thoughts, time management, email follow-up, interview prep, note-taking, event day prep, post-event wrap-up, and invoicing.

No preparation is needed for this session, but here are some questions participants can think through beforehand:

• What is the best method for me to keep track of important events?

• Where do I keep track of notes?

• How does my neurodivergence show up in preparing for public speaking roles?

• Do I struggle with maintaining email correspondence?

• How can I present my thoughts in a clear, concise manner?

• Do I find myself scrambling for information about public speaking engagements at the last minute?

• Do I struggle with invoicing for public speaking engagements?

• How do I prepare for public speaking?

• What do I use for project management?

• What are my access needs around public speaking?

• How do I normally communicate my access needs?
