"Joanne joined the lululemon EMEA collective for an inclusion talk based in storytelling and how to be a better ally. Each attendee was blown away by the courage Joanne showed, she so powerfully told us about the difficulties she navigated in so many aspects of her life but with such passion to live into who she truly was. We learned new information about trans community and how to act as allies in the workplace. The conversation was engaging, impactful and provoked so much insight within our team. We have had outstanding feedback and it has allowed us to continue to find access point to discuss inclusive environments and how to create them in our work spaces. Thank you Joanne for your time and sharing your story with us." - Nicole, Lulumon Europe

"Joanne delivered an awareness session for colleagues which was both inspiring and thought provoking. Her no nonsense discussion of transgender issues, terminology and impact are I think, an absolute must for any business looking to engage colleagues on transgender and wider diversity and Inclusion matters. I am looking forward to identifying other opportunities to work with Joanne." - Jane, Aster Housing Group

"Joanne delivered a keynote speech at Talent Acquisition Live, Amsterdam in 2020. She is able to deliver a speech with her own unique experiences in her own special way. Joanne understands inclusion like no other and is able to talk about this with passion." - Bas

"Joanne has collaborated with us on a number of events and most recently at our Better Allies: Supporting LGBTQ+ colleagues at Work event. Joanne is a confident speaker and panelist with wide ranging experience and fantastic insight. She is able to adapt her style to the type of event she is speaking at, be it formal or informal. At our most recent event Joanne was skilled at answering audience questions and kept the audience fully engaged throughout the discussion." - Oliver, BAME Recruitment

"We had the pleasure of meeting Joanne when she came to HarperCollins to share her inspirational story. The story Joanne shared was very honest and moving. It really helped us to think about ways to support transgender and gender diverse individuals. I would definitely recommend Joanne as an inspirational speaker on transgender awareness and inclusion." - Chrystella, HarperCollins

"I saw Joanne deliver a very thought-provoking and moving talk at Association. If you want to shake up your the recent annual conference of the Professional Speaking thinking about diversity and inclusion I would recommend that you book Joanne. Refreshing, challenging and inspiring." - Graham, Professional Speaking Association

"I was fortunate enough to be able to listen to Joanne speak at a local CIPD event last week on supporting Transgender Awareness and Inclusion. It was such an inspiring event that was thought provoking, humbling, emotional and entertaining - all in an hour! There were so many points Joanne shared that really resonated with me and, I’ll be honest, I have been thinking about them a lot since the event. To my HR colleagues, if you are looking for someone to bring a fresh perspective on your people policies and embracing diversity, I would definitely recommend you have a chat with Joanne to see how she may be able to help you. Thank you Joanne for encouraging me to think differently about Inclusion and what this truly means." - Jo, CIPD
