Testimonials

  • "Matt is an engaging trainer who makes participants feel comfortable enabling challenging topics to be addressed. Exploring LGBTQ+ identities and inclusion can take people out of their comfort zones, even for those of us who are members of the community, but Matt ensures that topics are covered respectfully and honestly. His research and preparation are meticulous and I always left training sessions with new knowledge, skills and clear actions. I would recommend Matt as a trainer and facilitator"

  • ‘’The LGBTQ+ training delivered by Matt was well received by colleagues in Birmingham & Solihull Integrated Care Board. The training was insightful and engaging, whilst challenging stereotypes at a systemic level. Matt communicated well with all colleagues and held the space so all voices were heard. Matt was really helpful in setting up the session and communicating pre and post training’’

  • ‘’I thoroughly enjoyed the recent LGBTQ+ Mental Health Awareness Training facilitated remotely by Matt. Matt ensured that the participants were clear about the session's learning outcomes. The topic discussed where at times, may be uncomfortable for some; however, Matt had a natural way of facilitating conversations respectfully to make discussions flow easier. Lots of takeaway learning points for us as an organisation to take forward as actions. Thank you again, Matt, for a great session’’
