Lisa will start by busting the biggest myth about interviews and why masking is costing you energy you need in the room.
From there, we move into the Mask vs. Real exercise, a live interactive exercise that helps you shift from hiding how their brain works to owning what makes them valuable in the room.
We’ll also cover reasonable adjustments: what they are, how to ask, and your legal rights under the Equality Act 2010.
In addition, the session looks at ways to prepare that suit the job seeker’s brain, alongside strategies for managing sensory load and anxiety on the day, while focusing on personal strengths.
Attendees will receive a free downloadable worksheet to use during the session ( if they wish) that may help them in future interviews. The worksheet also includes a reasonable adjustments checklist, and a day-of preparation guide.

Lisa Gills
Lisa Gills is an AuDHD entrepreneur, coach, and digital product builder whose work sits at the intersection of neurodiversity, career development, and accessible technology.
As founder of Harness the Spark Ltd, Lisa coaches neurodivergent professionals, particularly those in creative industries, helping them decode how their brains work, build on their strengths, and navigate careers in workplaces that weren’t designed with them in mind. Her coaching methodology is grounded in lived experience: Lisa is autistic and ADHD, and spent 13 years in advertising recruitment before her own journey of discovery led her to completely reimagine her career.
Alongside her coaching practice, Lisa is the creator of Dave, a free mental wellness companion app designed specifically for neurodivergent people. Built with low cognitive load, warm non-clinical UX, and neurodivergent-affirming language, Dave is available on iOS and Android and reflects Lisa’s belief that support tools should actually feel good to use.
