Speakers

Our LGBT speakers for schools, conferences and corporate events are the best in the business. They have powerful stories to tell and a core drive to improve inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.

It is reported that 46% of LGBTQ+ employees remain closeted at work, due to a lack of diversity and inclusion. Such a culture can lead to decreased performance and productivity, as LGBTQ+ staff spend up to 10% of their time hiding their identities from their peers.

Whether you wish to empower LGBTQ+ audiences or educate guests, these speakers are on-hand to inspire transformative change. They are regularly booked for Pride Month events, which take place every June, as such events send a firm message of support to LGBTQ+ employees. Check out our wide range of speakers available to book, below.
