Charlie lives near Birmingham, England, and is delighted to travel for in person events. Most of her work is corporate, and she offers keynote speeches, lunch and learns, panels, and workshops.
‘Charlie delivered a powerful and insightful session that added meaningful context to conversations around neurodiversity. The talk successfully debunked common stereotypes and reinforced the importance of returning to the social model of disability. There was so much to gain for both neurodiverse and neurotypical colleagues alike – from practical understanding to fostering a more inclusive workplace culture. A truly impactful and thought-provoking discussion!’
