Discussion Topic & Key Takeaways:
Discussion Topic: We are honored to welcome featured speaker Dr. Candace Holmes, who will share how regulation impacts learning, communication, and daily functioning — particularly in the workplace. Just some of the topics covered will be:
- How nervous system regulation affects executive function and decision-making
- The connection between regulation and effective communication
- How dysregulation can present in professional settings (focus, productivity, interpersonal dynamics)
- Practical insights leaders can apply to better support neurodiverse employees
- Why understanding regulation strengthens teams and workplace culture
Our goal is for attendees to leave with both awareness and actionable insight, understanding that supporting regulation isn’t just a clinical concept, but a leadership advantage.
This is not a volunteer meeting — it is a leadership opportunity to align professional capital with meaningful community outcomes.
We are seeking professionals (18+) who value thoughtful growth, relationship-based engagement, and measurable impact.
If you are ready to connect influence with purpose, we invite you to join us.
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Candace Holmes
Dr. Holmes spent the first thirteen years of her oldest daughter’s life frustrated and disappointed. The only recommendation offered to help her daughter thrive while living with ADHD was medication. After successfully using BrainCore Neurofeedback Therapy on her daughter and witnessing her transformation from struggling in school to earning all A’s in her first semester in college, she decided to share it with her community. She is now on a mission to educate the public about a more natural approach to mental health and wellness challenges.
