What people say about Charlie Hart

Charlie: I could tell you I am a good speaker. It is rather more useful to let the people who booked me tell you instead. These are in their words, not mine. Conference producers, HR and EDI leads, ERG chairs, and attendees. I have picked these nine because they say different things. Some are about the content: Autism and ADHD, Universal Design, psychological safety, minority stress, and the ‘double rainbow’ intersection where neurodivergence meets LGBTQIA+ identity. Some are about impact. One is about what happens when the technology fails and someone has to hold the room.

"I was absolutely in awe of Charlie during our recent Neurodiversity at Work conference. Throughout the event, she remained calm, positive, and professional, engaging the audience with incredible skill and grace. Her resilience and expertise shone through every moment, leaving us inspired and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Charlie stepped up and guided us seamlessly through unexpected moments, supporting everyone along the way – truly an outstanding speaker!"

Aleksandra Rogalska, Senior Conference Production Manager, Institute of Government and Public Policy (IGPP), December 2025

"I made the very smart move of booking Charlie to deliver a keynote for my East Midlands region of the Professional Speaking Association. And trust me, when you need to book a speaker to entertain and educate a room full of professional speakers - you need to make it good!

Charlie was everything I could hope for. I got all the information I needed to organise my event well ahead of time, meaning a lot less stress for me, and they asked all the relevant questions so I could be confident my event would be in safe hands. And on the night, that proved to be true.

My audience were definitely very happy to have Charlie along, and I know they have already started to implement changes to the way they work as a result - including the fellow speaker on the night who made improvements immediately that reflected in their talk which followed. THAT is impact."

Katie Allen, Regional President East Midlands, Professional Speaking Association, June 2025

"While her expertise spans a broad range of topics from autism and ADHD inclusion, universal design, minority stress, and the double rainbow intersection of autism and LGBTQIA+ identities, I approached her with something different: a session on acquired neurodivergence. She didn't just take on the challenge, but she embraced it wholeheartedly, delivering with the same insight, confidence, and depth as if it were one of her signature talks. Charlie is professional, engaging, and an absolute joy to work with. If you're looking for a speaker who combines expertise with authenticity, she's an outstanding choice."

Hayley Ward, Senior Events and Partner Marketing Executive, CareScribe, August 2025

"This was one of the most interesting webinars I've attended. Charlie explained things in a way that was easy to understand and gave me a lot to think about. I have a better understanding of both ADHD and LGBTQIA+ identities."

"As a therapist, it's introducing me to this connection between ADHD and LGBTQ+ and leading me to reflect on this more and be more aware of my clients and how they can be impacted by this intersectionality."

Webinar attendees, ADDA (Attention Deficit Disorder Association), June 2026

"Charlie hosted a 3-part keynote series on neurodiversity and inclusion for the company I work at, and it was above and beyond what I'd hoped for when I reached out to her about speaking. I initially reached out for her to just do a session for Autism Acceptance Month but Charlie recommended a series to build momentum and engagement over time and I'm so glad we did. Her sessions were highly attended and the topics really resonated with groups beyond our internal ERGs.

Charlie's content struck a perfect balance of informative yet approachable. The way her talks blend clinical information with her lived experience in such a lively way made her sessions relatable, funny and engaging. We received positive feedback from attendees noting they felt seen and heard by her words, and others who were grateful to learn so much in such a short amount of time."

Marika Dasbach, Senior Customer Marketing Manager, SurveyMonkey, June 2026

"Charlie's session on LGBTQIA+ inclusion, neurodiversity, and the 'Double Rainbow' was insightful, engaging, and thought-provoking. She has a unique ability to combine professional expertise with personal experience, making complex topics accessible, relatable, and meaningful for a diverse audience.

What stood out most was the level of engagement she inspired throughout the session. Colleagues actively participated in discussions, polls, and Q&A, and the conversations continued long after the event had ended—a true reflection of the impact she had on our audience."

Umida Dramchini, HR and Recruitment Partner, GlobalData, June 2026

"Our Equity Committee at PixelSpoke engaged Ausome Charlie for one of our quarterly equity workshops. From our first communication, Charlie was responsive, engaged, and approached our conversation with curiosity. We collaboratively created an interactive session that tapped into Charlie's vast expertise and lived experiences with neurodiversity. Our annual equity survey demonstrated it to be one of the most appreciated and engaging sessions of the year. Ausome Charlie provided concrete takeaways and actions to continue our work in creating a more inclusive environment."

Dave Drouin, Co-Owner, PixelSpoke, December 2025

"Having discussed plenty of data, Charlie gave an honest and thankfully data-free assessment of the benefits of including neurodivergent people in the workplace. A lively, provocative, and persuasive presentation. Got excellent feedback from the delegates, some of whom were aware of the issues, but few who realised the potential opportunities and benefits.

She also demonstrated her consummate professional skills by: delivering her slides well in advance; fully sharing the event on her social media; and interacting and networking with many who attended the event. Not just effective, but a pleasure to have around. Thank you, Charlie!"

Phil Ingle, Coventry and Warwickshire CIPD, October 2025

"More on this topic please!! Charlie was absolutely brilliant. I've already recommended her to local LGBTQ+ groups and via our local PRIDE March. Amazing. Thank you."
