Geffrye provided my organisation with a tailored session on inter-generational approaches to mental health and well-being with intersectional angles on minority experiences seamlessly woven in. The content was thoroughly researched with academic evidence. It was also precisely delivered, with purpose and audience impact at the forefront of Geff’s design. The feedback has been immediate and overwhelmingly positive across the board, from entry level colleagues to executive leadership. I cannot recommend Geff highly enough as an expert keynote speaker and consultant.

If you’re looking for someone to advise, support, moderate, or even just soundboard your DEIB strategy (and not just around LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts but all inclusion efforts), I unequivocally recommend that you reach out to Geff. He is the knowledgeable and capable advisor you seek!

5 of 5

What sets Geff apart is his deep knowledge and understanding of business and how inclusion has to be integral to support performance at the individual, team and organisational levels. I'm not sure I have met another consultant who is better able to understand how to help organisations move beyond performative inclusion.

I asked Geffrye to join us at the PSA London to share his talk on inclusion for Pride Month. Speaking to a room full of speakers, especially via Zoom is a challenge for anyone, but Geffrye was amazing. Thank you Geffrye, you made a great difference!
