Speaking & Workshops

For the parents, teachers, and professionals who are starting to see things differently.

Presented For…

Kanan Tekchandani is a therapeutic coach, speaker, and educator helping parents and professionals understand the realities of giftedness, ADHD, and autism—without shame, overwhelm, or oversimplification.

Her sessions are spacious, emotionally resonant, and immediately practical. Whether you’re hosting a parent wellbeing event, podcast, or school speaker series, Kanan meets high-capacity, often high-achieving audiences with nuance, depth, and care.

Signature Talk

“Seeing Differently: What Giftedness, ADHD, and Autism Really Look Like—in Your Kids and in You”

A 45-minute talk designed for parents of bright, sensitive, or differently-wired kids—who are often starting to notice similar traits in themselves.

Kanan blends educational insight, lived experience, and practical tools to help parents:

  • Recognize the overlooked signs of neurodivergence (in kids and adults)

  • Understand what “gifted” often masks—like anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and burnout

  • Build more connection and co-regulation at home, even without a diagnosis

This is not a clinical presentation—it’s a deeply human, grounded conversation about wiring, worth, and how we actually support each other.

Ideal for:

  • International school communities

  • Parent associations

  • DEI and mental health events

  • Creative or neurodivergent-aligned spaces

What Audiences Say

  • I recently had the pleasure of asking Kanan to do a couple of talks at my company. Kanan has unique blend of captivating communication and calming influence. Throughout their presentation, Kanan captured our attention and inspired confidence through their thoughtful and articulate approach while motivating the audience through fostering a sense of collaboration and engagement. Additionally, Kanan has a rare talent for breaking down intricate concepts into clear, understandable terms, making complex topics accessible to everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend Kanan as a speaker for any event or organisation. They are a true asset to any audience.
