We are thrilled to announce that Atif Choudhury, CEO of Calling All Minds, has been named on the prestigious Diversity Power List 2025/26. This recognition celebrates individuals who are making a transformative impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion across the United Kingdom.
A Recognition of Pioneering Work
The Diversity Power List highlights leaders who go beyond rhetoric to deliver tangible change. Atif's inclusion on this year's list acknowledges his tireless work in championing Access to Work and Disability Students Allowance (DSA) support, creating pathways for disabled and neurodivergent individuals to thrive in education and employment.
Through Calling All Minds, Atif has built an organisation that doesn't just talk about inclusion—it delivers it. From the AXS Passport platform that transforms how workplace adjustments are understood and implemented, to specialist neurodiversity coaching that empowers individuals to navigate their careers with confidence, every initiative reflects a deep commitment to practical, meaningful change.
The Journey to Recognition
Atif's journey is one shaped by lived experience. As a dyslexic person of colour who spent his early years in foster care, he understands firsthand the barriers that exist for those navigating systems not designed with them in mind. This understanding has been the driving force behind his work—turning personal challenges into collective solutions.
> "This recognition belongs to everyone at Calling All Minds and to the communities we serve. Every person who has trusted us with their story, every organisation that has partnered with us to create more inclusive workplaces, and every coach who brings lived experience to their practice—this is a reflection of their commitment to change." > > — Atif Choudhury
What This Means for Our Mission
Being named on the Diversity Power List 2025/26 is not just an honour—it's a responsibility. It amplifies our voice and extends our reach at a critical moment. With the European Accessibility Act reshaping compliance requirements and organisations increasingly recognising that inclusion is both a moral imperative and a business advantage, the work we do has never been more relevant.
This recognition reinforces our commitment to:
Expanding Access to Work and DSA Support — Ensuring that disabled and neurodivergent individuals can access the support they're entitled to, navigating complex systems with expert guidance.
Scaling the AXS Passport — Bringing our digital platform to more organisations, enabling them to understand, document, and act on workplace accessibility needs with empathy and efficiency.
Growing Our Coaching Community — Training and supporting more specialist neurodiversity coaches who bring lived experience to their practice, creating safe spaces for growth and self-advocacy.
Advocating for Systemic Change — Using our platform to push for policy improvements that remove barriers and create more equitable systems for all.
A Collective Achievement
While Atif's name appears on the list, this recognition reflects the collective effort of the entire Calling All Minds team. From Victoria Sharma's strategic leadership to Georgina Kennedy's expertise in workplace adjustments, from Giedre Sherlock's operational excellence to the dedication of every coach and consultant who works with our clients—this is a team achievement.
It also reflects the trust placed in us by the organisations we partner with and the individuals we support. Every success story, every barrier removed, every moment of understanding created—these are the building blocks of the recognition we've received.
Looking Forward
The Diversity Power List 2025/26 is a milestone, not a destination. The work continues. The barriers remain. The opportunities to create change are everywhere.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you're an organisation looking to transform your approach to inclusion, an individual seeking support through Access to Work or DSA, or someone who shares our vision of a world where participation is designed in, not bolted on—there's a place for you at Calling All Minds.
Together, we can turn recognition into action, and action into lasting change.
