“Globe (Deloitte’s LGBTQ+ Network) has had the pleasure of having Jude present to webinars on transgender inclusion. Jude is a fantastic and extremely engaging speaker and our people gave very positive feedback, following both sessions, with many commenting that their talks were amongst the best they’d heard. LGBTQ+ inclusion is a priority for us and having Jude join us as a speaker, educator and activist helps all out people feel included.”
“Paving the way for non-binary representation in the world of fashion is one of the many goals that Jude has…”
“Jude was absolutely amazing thank you. Truly inspirational, and gave ample time and care for Q&A, going that extra mile. Many thanks once again!”
“We couldn’t recommend working with Jude more! We trailblazed adapting Jude’s Gender Diversity training to all our hospitality teams and had resounding success. We continue to hear it’s our team’s favourite training and they especially loved hearing Jude’s powerful lived experiences alongside practical tips for how to navigate gender diversity in the workplace.”
“The session went really well thank you! Jude was such an engaging and interesting speaker, I believe everyone on the call thoroughly enjoyed it. We ran quite close to time, meaning there wasn’t much time for questions, but as Jude’s content was so interesting I don’t think people minded much. We ran a feedback form after the sessions and received a couple of comments from the session: “Really engaging and informative presentation – I learned a lot! The presentation was fantastic and kept my attention for the full 55 minutes!”, “The speaker Jude was so interesting and they had really good examples of how to incorporate gender-neutral terms into everyday working language.”, “Great external speaker, a really informative session on a challenging topic but it was handled really well.” and “The speaker was easy to listen to and explained the topic well. I feel better informed. There wasn’t much time for questions at the end – though not necessarily a bad thing as all of the content was useful”.”
“Please pass on our huge thanks to Jude! We have just had the most brilliant session with over 200 colleagues absolutely enraptured by their talk.”
