Testimonials

Gabrielle Claiborne and Linda Herzer are gifted trainers with a genuine talent for presenting factual information in a fun and interactive manner that touches hearts and minds. They implemented a moving and engaging educational seminar for public health researchers here at the CDC. Collaborating with Linda and Gabrielle to plan this educational seminar was a delightfully smooth experience.

Greg Bautista, MPH Health Scientist Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The Business Resource Group I co-lead had the opportunity to have Gabrielle and Linda present their program “How to be a Good Trans Ally at Work and in the World” and it was wonderful. They shared helpful information outlining the experiences of trans children, youth and adults and how people in the health care field can more effectively support them. Super professional, detail-oriented and fun to work with.

Will Acosta Human Resources Business Partner Kaiser Permanente

UPS’s LGBT & Allies Business Resource Group has hosted Transformation Journeys Worldwide at its global headquarters for several highly impactful educational series. Some of what we learned is evidenced in the gender-neutral dress code UPS recently modified for our 528,000 employees around the world. TJWW is a valued business partner for organizations looking to advance trans and non-binary inclusion.

Susan Schmidlkofer Global Director of Diversity and Inclusion UPS

Linda and Gabrielle presented an engaging and interactive lecture at the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians Conference. Their talk inspired conversation and highlighted the need for healthcare professionals to understand how to welcome trans patients. Most importantly, they gave a heartfelt presentation with persuasive and motivating evidence for why this is so important. I highly recommend Gabrielle and Linda to any organization that cares about diversity and equality.

Isabel (Izzy) Lowell, MD, MBA Director QMed: Affirming Care for the Trans Community Across the Southeast

This counselors training was one of the best I have ever attended! The combination of research, information, video clips, discussion, and personal stories made the training highly engaging and effective. It was exceptionally balanced in presenting the clinical and experiential aspects of the trans person’s journey.  I highly recommend this for both clinicians and educators.

Ellen Manuel, M.Ed, EdS School Counselor Gwinnett County Public Schools

Gabrielle Claiborne and Linda Herzer are exceptional facilitators and captivated our Atlanta Hawks employees during their trans-journey lesson at our monthly Courageous Conversations series. The stories they share are inspiring, enlightening and candid. In order to create sustainable change, you need to challenge conventional norms. This dynamic duo are helping to shape a more inclusive and loving world. Now that is living with a purpose.

Nzinga Shaw SVP, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Atlanta Hawks & State Farm Arena

This team reached our audience on a human/emotional level while being sensitive to our corporate environment. I highly recommend Transformation Journeys for companies seeking to grow and develop awareness of Transgender people, many of whom are employees, clients, or friends and family members of our employees.

Emily Schur Sr. Vice President, Global Talent Sun Life Financial

Our keynote speaker, Gabrielle Claiborne, shared her journey of “embracing her truth” with such passion and humor that attendees at our Pride Power Lunch and Learn were engaged and enlightened to be even stronger allies for our transgender colleagues.

Ashley D’Cruz ERG President Georgia Power

Gabrielle and Linda are exceptional trainers. Linda’s attention to detail resulted in a trans and non-binary inclusion training that was specific to the needs we have as a law school. Gabrielle’s openness in sharing her own story allowed our community of faculty, staff and students to feel a sense of ease in engaging in a conversation that allowed us to learn how to be better advocates and foster an inclusive environment. Together, this team has a synergy that made a two-hour workshop feel like a chat with friends.

Danielle Boardley Director of Admissions and Diversity Initiatives Drexel University's Thomas R. Kline School of Law

Thank you so much, Gabrielle and Linda, for the presentation on Trans Workplace Inclusion. You educated our leadership on a very sensitive subject with real-life experiences, statistics, and humor. Your professionalism, courage, and openness helped enlighten us to the many and varied ways in which we are different and alike, and you re-emphasized the need to treat everyone in the workplace (and the world) with respect.
