This journey – along with decades of supporting older people, individuals with dementia, learning disabilities, and autism across statutory, private, and third-sector organisations – led me to create Insight2Excellence. Our mission extends far beyond my personal story with ADHD. We're committed to transforming workplaces through expert training, support, and mindfulness, with compassion and excellence at its heart.
Our name reflects our core philosophy: "Insight" represents the understanding and self-awareness that drive meaningful growth and transformation. While trends may come and go, true insight creates lasting impact. We believe excellence isn't just an aspiration—it's a right. Every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive, be heard, and have their strengths recognised.
This tagline captures our commitment to putting people at the heart of everything we do. We believe that when individuals are empowered to work with purpose and passion, they thrive—and so do the teams and organisations around them. This philosophy guides all our services, from bespoke training modules to one-to-one support.
Some describe ADHD as a superpower, igniting ingenuity and determination. Others see it as a curse, mired in disorganisation and overwhelm. For me, it's both: blazing trails one day, barely able to get out of bed the next. This duality has shaped my approach to building resilience in the workplace.
Take my Rejection Sensitivity (RS) and Justice Sensitivity (JS), two common ADHD traits. A manager's sharp word stings (RS), often sparking outrage if I see someone being mistreated (JS), then looping back as self-doubt. I've lived this cycle repeatedly, like when a boss once remarked, "Andy, no one punishes you better than you do," inadvertently nudging me into another spiral.
One memory stands out clearly: an autistic administrator facing dismissal. My Justice Sensitivity flared immediately. How could no one see her neurodivergence? I fought hard, secured her diagnosis, and saved her job – but at the cost of a strained relationship with my manager. That's the raw edge of ADHD. Yet it's taught me profound self-awareness and the power of mindfulness to pause rather than simply react.
At Insight2Excellence, we've transformed these lived experiences into practical workplace solutions. While our roots are in social care, our principles of relationship-centred leadership, workforce investment, and personalised approaches apply across all sectors. Our comprehensive range of services includes:
Research shows that organisations prioritising employee experience and wellbeing see 26% higher productivity, 22% higher profitability, and significantly lower absenteeism and turnover. Neuroscience confirms that stressed brains falter, but resilient, supported people perform better, stay longer, and ultimately save costs.
Through Insight2Excellence, I'm sharing nearly four decades of leadership experience, my qualifications (from NVQ 3 in Health and Social Care to Level 4 Certificate in Integrating Mindfulness and Compassion in Professional Practice), and my lived experience with disabilities, including visual impairment, ME/CFS, and ADHD.
I'm not a guru – just a down-to-earth, approachable bloke passionate about helping organisations develop resilient, engaged, and high-performing teams. By investing in your people—through time, energy, and resources—you'll build a highly skilled, motivated, and valued workforce ready to drive your organisation's success.
