In this episode, Bill Banham talks with Katie Neeves, Trans Ambassador at Cool2BTrans. She talks about why trans inclusion is so important and inclusion training is needed in the workplace.
Guest: Katie Neaves
Joining Bill Banham on the HR in Review Podcast this time is Katie Neeves, Trans Ambassador at Cool2BTrans. Katie is a woman on a mission – but, she says, “not just any woman and not just any mission!”
Katie says she “lived for 48 years as a man while struggling with her gender and hiding her big secret to the world“. She was thrown into turmoil when her gender dysphoria increased dramatically, causing her to go on a voyage of discovery before “finally admitting to herself” that she is a transgender woman and that she needed to change her body. She then came out very publicly via a coming-out video which she posted on her social media and sent to all the clients of her photography and video business, risking her livelihood and reputation in the process.

Katie formed Cool2BTrans to support and inspire other trans people and also to educate everyone else on trans issues by showing them that trans people are just ordinary people who want to be happy – just like everyone else.
She helps organisations with diversity and inclusion by providing trans awareness training in an entertaining way by using humour to break down barriers. Recent participants of Katie’s sessions said it was “a masterclass in storytelling!” and “the most interesting webinar so far and definitely the funniest”. Katie appears regularly in the media and she is on both ITV’s and the BBC’s lists of experts. Also, she was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce in 2021.
