What Clients Are Saying

We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to hire Andy as our keynote speaker for the University of Michigan Ross School of Business LGBTQ club’s annual TEDx style event OUTx. From the planning conversations to the execution of his presentation, Andy was wonderful to work with. He created a keynote address that wove together themes of coming out, allyship and LGBTQ inclusion in the workforce. He took the time to address the audience specifically, presenting our MBA students with the opportunity to use their degrees as future leaders who can play a role in re-writing the rule books for queer and trans people to thrive in business. He recorded a flawless presentation for us to screen at the live event, and we are so grateful for the time and energy he put into it.

Jill Dannis MBA/MS 2024, University of Michigan Ross School of Business

We were fortunate enough to have Andy as a speaker during a recent Boingo UNITY event — an employee resource group where our BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Boingoites with disabilities can bring their whole selves to the table for personal and professional development. Andy’s presentation on inclusivity, allyship, and challenging LGBTQ+ discrimination in the workplace was incredibly well-received by our team. His presentation was dynamic, informative, and incredibly easy to listen to — not easy in a remote environment! I would HIGHLY recommend Andy as a speaker, trainer, and presenter.

Dawn Callahan Chief Marketing Officer, Boingo Wireless

Andy is extremely intelligent and very kind to all who were brave and spoke up— kind and his welcoming remarks to any speakers were precise, specific to their courage. He make the entire seminar a safe and potentially fruitful experience.

LOVED THIS SESSION! I learned so much and feel like I have a much better perspective of this topic and how to be a good, supportive ally. Thank you Andy for a wonderful workshop- I hope we continue to have the privilege to work with you!

So much important information was covered, and done so in a way that is meant to educate and build upon. It never felt like anyone was being judged or shamed for not knowing something. The intent was always to help us help our students.
