“A big thank you for a very authentic and thought provoking session today, as part of our harnessing the power of diversity week. In speaking to a number of our senior leaders after the session they all said it made them stop and think, and everyone I spoke to has taken something away from your story. It’s a really great way to get a discussion going and the little frog analogy was very powerful – simple yet effective.”

Thank you so much Matt. You have such a knowledgable, relatable way of helping us (the listener) to understand all the issues around transgender. I think the ‘no pressure/little frogs’ message is so persuasive and will encourage more of us to be curious and get it right.
Matt was recently invited to speak at the Lloyd’s Dive In Festival in Chatham. Matt shared his life story and how the decisions he made throughout have affected him. Matt was very engaging and his talk opened my eyes to the difficulties faced by Matt and others in similar situations. Matt is obviously very passionate about helping others and telling his story, so others are confident in taking the first step to changing their lives. Matt was able to share useful resources to the group and was keen to speak to members of the audience on a personal level after the talk. A thought provoking talk.
Matt had the audience captivated with his own incredible and courageous personal story. I have to say it was one of the best sessions I have ever seen delivered at a Pharmacy Conference and I have been to many in my 24 years as a pharmacist professional.Matt has a natural ability to speak confidently and effortlessly to a large audience and has personality and speaker content to keep an audience hanging on his every word.I cannot recommend Matt more highly.
“Thank you so much. Such a touching and illuminating discussion. I feel very lucky to have been here to hear your story.
Every workplace needs this presentation.”
What a brilliant, informative and inspiring talk.
“Excellent. Matt is very empathic and speaks of his experiences with truth and emotion.”
“It [the session] was so inspiring and so informative. Matt’s human approach prompted really good questions and discussions and he got a lot of love in the comments!”
