Find out the origins of IDAHOBIT and promote inclusivity with our top speakers.
IDAHOBIT speakers bring powerful voices to workplace inclusion efforts, offering authentic perspectives on LGBTQ+ experiences that resonate across organisations. These speakers provide crucial insights into creating genuinely inclusive environments where all employees can thrive, particularly valuable as businesses increasingly recognise that diversity drives innovation and employee wellbeing directly impacts performance.
Our roster features distinguished voices including Olympic gold medallist Kate Richardson-Walsh, broadcaster India Willoughby, racing driver Charlie Martin, and former rugby international Gareth Thomas. These speakers come from diverse backgrounds spanning sports, media, business leadership and activism, bringing both personal narratives and professional expertise to discussions about inclusion. Many have advised major corporations and governmental bodies on the development and implementation of LGBTQ+ policies.
Organisations booking IDAHOBIT speakers benefit from more than just commemorating an awareness day. These engagements foster genuine cultural change by challenging unconscious biases, providing practical strategies for allyship, enhancing the retention of LGBTQ+ talent, and improving brand reputation among both customers and potential employees. Speakers offer actionable frameworks for creating psychologically safe environments where all team members can contribute fully.
Our speakers can engage with your organisation through:
• Keynote presentations tailored to your industry context
• Interactive panel discussions with leadership teams
• Practical workshops on inclusive language and behaviours
• Virtual webinars accessible to remote or global teams
• Facilitated Q&A sessions addressing specific workplace challenges
