Hi, I'm Spela.
And I've witnessed the incredible transformation that happens when entrepreneurs finally understand how to work WITH their ADHD brain.
You see, last year, we organized the biggest ADHD Parenting Summit, reaching over 260,000 families worldwide.
As a producer and host, I noticed something curious:
Many attendees weren't just struggling with parenting. They were struggling with their own businesses and careers…
And finally, it made so much sense why building a business felt like an endless uphill battle – despite having brilliant ideas and undeniable talent.
This insight changed everything.
When these entrepreneurs understood how their brain actually works, they stopped forcing themselves into cookie-cutter business strategies that were never designed for them.
Instead, they implemented ADHD-friendly systems that helped them execute on their ideas, finish what they started, and build profitable businesses.
And that's the whole reason why we created the ADHD Entrepreneurs Summit.
We want to empower every entrepreneur with ADHD (yes, you as well!) to build a thriving business…
Whether you're just starting out or already running a company…
Struggling with your first launch or your tenth…
Self-diagnosed or professionally evaluated…
This is your chance to learn from entrepreneurs who've turned their ADHD into their competitive advantage.
Discover the business strategies that work for your unique brain.
“The ADHD Summit was 3 of the most educational days in my life. I'm a retired teacher with a Masters Degree in education. I will be passing along how great this summit was for me, and suggesting to any/every one that they would definitely benefit from viewing these sessions.”
“Althea Academy did an exceptional job in executing a well structured and comprehensive Thrive with ADHD Summit. Each presenter made a valuable contribution, addressing ADHD from different perspectives. The presentations were engaging, informative and relatable for both neurodivergent and neurotypical audiences. I would definitely recommend this summit to others.”
“The speakers were so informed and knowledgeable and the information shared was more focused, detailed and personal than I have experienced before. I was extremely thankful for this information and now am going to look online for some of the speakers' deeper information.”
