Partner with a LGBT Speaker to Create an Inclusive Workplace

Time and again we’re told diversity is a hot topic in the business world, but many arguments fail to mention that a diverse, inclusive workforce brings with it the double benefits of a more pleasant workplace and an increased bottom line. Diversity is not a “nice to have,” it’s a must have, and leaders must actively work to foster inclusive workplaces if they don’t want to fall by the wayside.

 

With deep insights into the importance of acceptance and inclusion, LGBT speakers’ messages are appropriate for academic and corporate audiences. These speakers’ backgrounds and experiences run the full gamut, and our roster features neuroscientists and economists alongside performing artists and famous athletes.

 

Briana Scurry is a U.S. Soccer legend, brain injury awareness advocate, and champion LGBT speaker.

DE&I expert and nationally recognized speaker Jonathan Lovitz is the Senior VP at the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce. An advocate for equal opportunity and empowerment, his message is suitable for any audience, but especially effective with college and university students looking to make a difference in their communities.

 

Mad scientist Vivienne Ming is a top theoretical neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and passionate speaker on the topics of AI and LGBT inclusion in tech. Frequently featured in The Financial Times, The Atlantic, and the New York Times, she works with several nonprofits and organizations on AI systems that vary from monitoring and treating diabetes and reuniting orphaned refugees with extended family members.

 

Social entrepreneur Jessica Shortall is a top LGBT speaker and gender equality advocate working to help people find common ground in a world that feels increasingly polarized. The Managing Director of Texas Competes, she heads up a coalition of over 1200 Texans dedicated to making the case for LGBTQ acceptance in Texas.

 

LGBT speaker, educator and comedian Mo Barrett is one of the speaking circuit’s most successful failures. After almost flunking at the Air Force Academy, she leveraged hard work, humor and optimism to build a 25 year career as a pilot and then as an entertaining, inspiring keynote speaker with insights into life as a multi-minority.

 

Talonya Geary is a LGBT speaker and leadership expert with over 20 years of experience in business and professional development. With a passion for growth, authenticity and accountability, she has been coaching and advising professionals of all stripes for the last decade.

Entrepreneur, tech and economics thought leader and top LGBT speaker Leanne Pitsford is the CEO & Founder of Lesbians Who Tech, a community focused on visibility, intersectionality, and creating opportunity for its 40,000 members.
