From a child too scared to speak to a world-class event speaker, Gina’s journey was challenging and involved extensive self-reflection. After coming out as gay in her early 20s, Gina endured bullying at work, targeted for her sexuality. This bullying led to physical health problems, poor work performance and inner turmoil for Gina, however, determined to overcome her adversity she fought back. In a transformation that not only allowed her to mentally heal but drop 5 dress sizes, Gina changed the world rather than herself.
Now, backed with a Speaker of the Year award, 11 years of sold-out coaching programmes and an audience reach of over 10 million a week, Gina is pioneering workplace inclusion methods. A prominent expert in the media, Gina also speaks on LGBT+ issues for news outlets and has been known to advise on ‘Playing it Gay Guidelines’ on film sets.
