EDITOR’S NOTE

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to our February edition of Dynamic.

We finish off our series around neurodiversity with a feature on ADHD, starting with Maarten sharing his own experiences and our second article examining the different ways in which ADHD might manifest in women and girls. I think that it is particularly important to note ADHD as the mainstream model, skews towards symptoms presenting in the male population; the model still being somewhat antiquated. With knowledge comes power - the power to help ourselves and our children.

Of course, neurodiverse or not we all hope to raise resilient children. Dr Kenneth Ginsburg’s seven Cs are explained this month and Janneke Blokland from Hurst College shares her thoughts on the importance of community.

We explore wellbeing and your business plus Samantha from Wellesley gives excellent advice around tax planning. Talking Heads is our space for forums and this month we’re fortunate to have some very knowledgeable people discussing financing for women in business.

Amongst our regular features we have the very popular Spotlight, Tanya’s health advice and I take a look at some fantastic places to visit in the whirlwind that is Marrakech.

I hope that you enjoy this month’s Dynamic Magazine.

Wales Secure A Victory For Gender Equality

The Football Association of Wales approved a historic agreement that ensures fair pay. All players for the Wales national football team, regardless of gender, will be paid equally from now on. It is understood that the men’s side accepted a 25% pay cut, while the women’s team received a 25% pay rise.

In a joint statement, the men’s and women’s teams said: “We hope that this will allow future generations of boys and girls to see that there is equality across Welsh international football, which is important for society as a whole.”
