People & Culture Advisor - HR at UnLtd

"Katie is a phenomenal speaker and trainer. She creates a safe space for open dialogue and learning as she blends thought-provoking content with humour and warmth. Katie uses her personal story with such generosity and openness it’s impossible not to feel totally engaged – which creates such rich conversation and teases people out of their shells to ask questions. A three hour session flew by!"

Vice Chairperson, Rhondda Pride

"I had the pleasure of working with Katie on an online Pride event.  She's one of the most articulate and entertaining people I have seen in this format. Good humoured, well educated and a consummate professional. I would happily work with Katie again and sincerely hope we will. She's very talented and I could see her presenting a talk show on a major TV channel."

Head of External Relations for The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo)

"I had been following Katie's journey for some time, I found her story not only inspirational but her approach made me connect and really want to work with her. I love Katie's approach, she shares her stories with warmth, wit and stacks of humour. Her story really captures the challenges she has faced. After working with Katie you will truly understand why she creates game-changing noise about Trans Rights and the role that you play as an Ally. Katie's mission to educate and push for real change is critical, she has found the perfect way to connect with individuals and businesses. Her work will change the way people think, behave and will ultimately change the world for sure. Katie is a true professional and a beautiful person with an incredible story to tell. I look forward to working with her again in the future."

Regional Community Wayleave Officer, Virgin Media O2

"Inspirational storytelling at its best. I was lucky enough to listen to Katie’s story and can openly and honestly say it was incredible to hear.   I can honestly say it was eye opening, informative and inspirational to say the least.  What a journey you’ve had Katie. Thank you for sharing it."

Team Administrator & Lead of the Pride Steering Committee at National Grid

“I will be hoping to work with Katie again soon, I feel her level of candor gets away from the sensationalism we often see portrayed elsewhere and allows people to see the true experience of a Trans person." 

Culture & Engagement Business Partner at Premier Foods

“I first saw Katie on a CIPD webinar and was so impressed by her authenticity, vulnerability and honesty delivered with such fantastic humour, that I thought I have to share this brilliance with my organisation. We had the pleasure of Katie talking to us on TDoV 2022 and she was so inspirational and encouraged so many of our employees to open up and ask questions, creating such physiological safety in just 90mins. I would highly recommend Katie to help people understand the world from a transgender perspective, not just by sharing her own personal story but also giving such brilliant advice on how to be allys and help raise the visibility of the transgender community. We see you, we hear you and thanks to Katie we now know how to be better allys.”
