Why book an LGBTQ+ speaker?
PepTalk's LGBTQ+ speakers help companies build inclusive, innovative workplaces by offering expert insights and actionable strategies on diversity and inclusion. Research shows that companies committed to LGBTQ+ inclusion benefit from greater creativity, stronger collaboration, and improved financial performance.
Speakers cover topics including promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion, understanding gender and sexuality, supporting LGBTQ+ well-being, and the broader impact of advocacy on social norms. They can support key events throughout the year, including LGBT History Month (February/October), Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31), IDAHOTB (May 17), Pride Month (June), National Coming Out Day (October 11), and Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20).
PepTalk works with thousands of speakers and can provide tailored recommendations to suit your organisation's needs, whether for a standalone event or as part of an ongoing inclusion programme.
