"Leo's presentation was a wake up call for me"

Leo Caldwell

Transgender Educator & Speaker

Growing up queer and religious in the midwest was ​tough. I knew from a young age I wanted to change ​my corner of the world to make it a more inclusive ​place for people like me.


After many years in the news and training industry, I ​combined this passion and my professional experience ​to educate organizations about trans folks.

Offerings


Presentations include:

  • Basic Trans Awareness: Names, #pronouns, how #gender shows up in our every day language.
  • Inclusive Spaces: Creating a work environment and systems that support employees of ALL genders.
  • Supporting Transition at the Workplace: Guidance on best practices and policies to support employees actively going through transition.
  • How will your brand survive in a post-gender binary world?: Brands must function in a world that is growing more gender diverse.
  • Copywriting/Editing: I'm a trained comms consultant and can provide appropriate social media and copy edits to help elevate your company in the conversation about trans people.

“These (workshops) were immersive experiences where people were challenged, yet felt safe. It’s safe to say everyone left with new perspectives, new awareness and a greater sense of respect for their fellow human beings.”

- Mackenzie Warren, Senior Director at USA TODAY Network

Why Invest?

What's the ROI for companies to care about and invest in transgender inclusivity training?

Improved Employee Productivity and Engagement

  • An inclusive workplace fosters a sense of belonging and psychological safety among all employees, leading to increased job satisfaction, morale, and engagement.
  • Engaged employees are more likely to be productive, innovative, and collaborative, which can positively impact the company's performance.


Reduced Turnover Costs

  • An inclusive work environment is associated with higher employee retention rates. When employees feel valued and supported, they are more likely to stay with the company.
  • Reducing turnover leads to cost savings associated with recruitment, onboarding, and training of new employees.


Enhanced Recruitment and Talent Attraction

  • Companies that prioritize diversity and inclusion are more attractive to potential employees, especially those seeking inclusive workplaces.
  • A positive reputation for inclusivity can help attract top talent, reducing recruitment efforts and costs.


Minimized Legal and Reputational Risks

  • Providing training on transgender inclusion ensures compliance with anti-discrimination laws and regulations, reducing the risk of legal disputes and associated costs.
  • Demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity mitigates reputational risks and negative publicity that can harm a company's brand.
