Meet the Team

Ausome Minds is a family business, and three members (so far) of our family are neurodivergent speakers.

Our approach is rooted in the Neurodiversity Paradigm and the Social Model of Disability. We demonstrate how and why organisations can enable people with all kinds of minds - through accessible working practices, policies, environments and expectations.

Charlie

Charlie Hart (she/they) - known on social media as ‘Ausome Charlie’ - is a professional keynote speaker, content creator, and consultant. She is autistic, ADHD, has complex PTSD, and is bi/pan and gender non-conforming.

Charlie is an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development(Assoc.CIPD) and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Personnel Management and an Intermediate Diploma in Human Resources Management.

After twenty years working in HR Analytics, Charlie now specialises in neuroinclusion, psychological safety, and intersecting identities. Her niche topic is the ‘Double Rainbow’ intersection of Neurodivergence and LGBTQIA+ identity.

Charlie is a Professional Member of the Professional Speaking Association of UK and Ireland (MPSA) and Founding Vice Lead of PSA Neurodiversity Community. She also leads the Neurodiversity Member Resource Group within Speakers Collective and co-hosts the NeuroWomen Natter‍ ‍podcast with Toni Horn.

Azi

Azi Court (he/him) is a student, speaker, writer, and content creator. Azi (pronounced to rhyme with Snazzy) brings AuDHD, Gen Z, and LGBTQ+ perspectives.

Representation matters! Asking Azi to speak at your event will help prepare your organisation for the future of work, so you can remain an employer of choice for the workforce of the future.

Highlights from Charlie and Azi speaking on a panel at HR Minds Summit about empowering the workforce of the future:
