Benedicte Asseloos - ADHD Coach and Speaker

Benedicte Asseloos is a coach and speaker focused on neurodiversity, leadership, and authentic self-expression. After more than a decade in the tech industry, she experienced firsthand the pressure to mask differences and navigate imposter syndrome in high-performing environments.

Her own journey with neurodivergence led her to explore self-leadership and motivational intelligence, transforming how she understood confidence, identity, and leadership. Benedicte’s work centres on supporting visionary thinkers and neurodiverse professionals who want to embrace how their minds work and turn what once felt like a difference into a strength. Through her coaching and speaking, she encourages leaders to build self-trust, reconnect with their inner voice, and create environments where different minds can thrive.

Having rebuilt her own life after moving countries, Angie understands what it means to lose a sense of identity, visibility and confidence… and find it again through inner work and bold self-belief.

At the conference, Angie will deliver her talk “From Introvert to Speaker: My Transformation Journey”

Through writing, art, and authentic sharing, she empowers other survivors to recognize that their voice is their most powerful tool for healing and that it's never too late to reclaim your narrative and become the author of your own life.
