Katie Neeves book Inspirational Trans LGBTQ trainer speaker at Great British Speakers

Katie Neeves

“Many people focus on the negative aspects of being trans, but I prefer to approach the subject from a much more positive angle.  I am exactly the same person I was before my transition – but far happier!”

 

Katie Neeves is a woman on a mission – but not just any woman and not just any mission! She lived for 48 years as a man while struggling with her gender from the age of 3 and hiding her big secret to the world.

She was thrown into turmoil when her gender dysphoria increased dramatically. This resulted in her going on a voyage of discovery before finally admitting to herself that she is a transgender woman and that she needed to live her truth.

She formed Cool2BTrans to advocate for trans visibility through her public speaking, blogs, media appearances, and courses, drawing motivation from her own journey. Her mission is simple: to inspire other trans people, and to educate everyone about trans issues by harnessing the power of humour.

Katie Neeves is an in-demand public speaker, trainer and campaigner for the trans community.

Testimonials

Katie has been a joy to work with for our session at Aviva. Katie talked to us about her own transition along with tips on good allyship. The session was really well received and we had lots of good questions and feedback. Katie’s sessions are filled with lovely humour making the audience feel at ease. I would love Aviva to work with Katie again and I can’t recommend her sessions highly enough. Thanks again Katie.
Joanne, Aviva

Katie attended our International Women’s Day panel at Virgin Media yesterday and what an honour that was. An inspirational speaker with a fantastic sense of humour that really shone through. Katie has been incredibly engaged throughout all the planning and a real joy to partner with on our IWD plans. In a very short time I’ve already learnt a huge amount from Katie and I’d really encourage others to take the opportunity with Katie to learn and grow.
Danielle Peel, Project Delivery Lead at Virgin Media

I had the pleasure of working with Katie on an online Pride event.  She’s one of the most articulate and entertaining people I have seen in this format. Good humoured, well educated and a consummate professional. I would happily work with Katie again and sincerely hope we will. She’s very talented and I could see her presenting a talk show on a major TV channel.
Natalie, Rhondda Pride

We booked Katie to run two Trans Day of Visibility workshops for Virgin Media belonging networks. She was engaging, hilarious and amazing. Every bit of feedback we received from those who attended was beyond positive. I personally have never laughed and learnt so much in one hour!
Chloe, Mobile Trading & Online Sales Graduate, Virgin Media

Overwhelming feedback highlighted how valuable it was to hear a first-hand experience of someone navigating gender and having Katie speak in a way that was so open, emotive, educational and also humorous helped everyone better understand the importance of trans awareness and the gender spectrum. In particular, many were grateful to learn more about what gender dysphoria is, and how both sex and gender go beyond the binary as a means of then better understanding the trans experience and the issues the community face. Overall, everyone found the talk very inspiring and incredibly educational – thank you Katie for your time!
Josh, Account Executive, WE Communications

The event was a success. Katie was a true inspiration to all who attended the event. I have had so many positive comments even from upper management! I hope to have Katie back again for other events. She truly is an inspiration!
Bob Eastman

I will be hoping to work with Katie again soon, I feel her level of candour gets away from the sensationalism we often see portrayed elsewhere and allows people to see the true experience of a Trans person.
Tim Riecken, Team Administrator & Lead of the Pride Steering Committee at National Grid

Katie is a phenomenal speaker and trainer. She creates a safe space for open dialogue and learning as she blends thought-provoking content with humour and warmth. Katie uses her personal story with such generosity and openness it’s impossible not to feel totally engaged – which creates such rich conversation and teases people out of their shells to ask questions. A three hour session flew by!
Jamie Scotto, People & Culture Advisor, HR at UnLtd

The trans awareness workshop with Katie made a lasting impact and impression on the team.  Many have said that it was the most exciting training in years.  They said that they had thought about it a lot afterwards and would like a follow-up for further discussion. I would 100% recommend Katie to others.
Katrin Terwiel, Vice President Diversity & Global Talent, Deutsche Telekom

Katie delivered an engaging, inspirational and educational Trans Awareness session for ENGIE on International Transgender Day of Visibility. She connected with the audience, telling her own personal story with humour and heart and provided a safe space for people to ask questions. There were so many wonderful comments received by employees after the event. I would highly recommend Katie as a speaker.
Jennie Pitt, Head of Diversity & Inclusion, Employee Engagement, Relations & Policy at ENGIE

Katie delivered a powerful, insightful and engaging session on her own personal journey and tips for being a trans ally. She is very open and honest about her own lived experience and has a unique way of telling her story and educating people in a humorous and uplifting way. Thank you Katie!
