Drawing from her own powerful journey of coming out, facing homophobic bullying, and overcoming adversity, Gina brings a deeply personal and authentic voice to the stage. Her work focuses on empowering individuals to bring their full selves to work while helping companies build environments rooted in psychological safety.
Starting her career in frontline education and the probation service, Gina experienced toxic and unsafe workplaces firsthand, where she was stalked, bullied and gaslighted for her identity. These challenges shaped her mission to drive systemic change across organisations. She went on to found the Psychological Safety Institute, positioning herself as a global leader in transforming workplace culture. Gina is the creator of two internationally acclaimed frameworks: The Authentic Self Process and The 5 Pillars of Psychological Safety, which have become essential tools for companies seeking meaningful inclusion. Today, she is a trusted partner to leading brands such as the NHS, BBC, Barclays and AstraZeneca.
Gina’s impact extends beyond corporate settings into global media and legislation. She is a regular commentator for ITV News, and has advised on BBC film sets using her ‘Playing It Gay’ guidelines to ensure accurate LGBT+ representation. Her insights have reached over 10 million people worldwide and influenced cultural policies at national and international levels. In 2024, she published ‘The Authentic Organization: How to Create a Psychologically Safe Workplace’, a highly praised guide for leaders navigating culture change. Gina has also developed CPD-accredited training programmes that empower employees to transform their organisations from within.
With her trademark energy, humour and depth, Gina’s keynote speeches have become a catalyst for lasting transformation. She has delivered talks for FTSE 100 companies, professional bodies and global conferences. Her topics range from psychological safety and inclusive leadership to LGBTQ+ visibility, allyship and identity.

“Gina was a guest speaker at an event in AstraZeneca. Gina delivered an interactive conversation on the topic of bringing your whole self to work and LGBT inclusion. The feedback was extremely positive and I would highly recommend working with Gina on any corporate event relating to inclusion, diversity and LGBT topics.”
“Gina is a force to be reckoned with in her field. Her work is still referenced by senior leaders and managers as the go-to guide, towards creating a more inclusive and psychologically safe workplace for LGBTQ+ employees. The 2 modules she created on psychological safety and LGBTQ + support in the workplace, together with the time she spent with our executive team running sessions on inclusive leadership have been invaluable. We continue to use her modules as part of OSTC’s onboarding program. Her passion, delivery and work ethic are admirable and inspiring.”
“Gina recently hosted a session for us around being your authentic self in the workplace. Our colleagues who attended left feeling inspired & more engaged with the business & Gina kindly offered colleagues a follow-up session free! The feedback we had from colleagues has been amazing & we are hoping to do more work with Gina in the future. Any business serious about Diversity & Inclusion would aim to create a culture where people can perform & be their personal best. This was a great session on the journey to achieving that.”
