In episode 13 of #EdelmanEditions, Ben Franklin, Account Manager, Edelman UK caught up with Matt Ellison, a highly sought-after, entertaining, and thought-provoking transgender speaker.

For this session, we teamed up with Edelman Equal in recognition of LGBT+ History Month to increase the visibility of LGBT+ people, their history, lives, and experiences. Edelman Equal’s mission is to inspire a diverse and inclusive environment that enables every employee to be their authentic selves.

Matt provides his insights on change, as someone who has made such a huge and fundamental change himself, and how it applies to everyone in all areas of professional and personal life. With an increasing number of trans folk having the courage to transition, yet with so many still facing discrimination and ignorance, transgender issues and diversity & inclusion are currently more relevant than ever.
