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.

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.

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.

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.

We partnered with Transformation Journeys Worldwide to host a Transgender Student Health Symposium. Gabrielle and Linda are outstanding professionals who were a dream to work with. From helping us craft a vision for the event to delivering engaging and informative trainings, they worked with us to determine our needs and devise solutions for addressing them every step of the way.

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.

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.

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.

When Gabrielle and Linda present, the overriding feeling is that you are in capable hands. The obvious depth and breadth of their knowledge, specifically around the realities and challenges that face transgender individuals, their colleagues, and their clients, allows for an outstanding educational experience.

My church hosted Linda and Gabrielle and it was such a professional, moving and powerful presentation, helping folks understand, in a warm and welcoming way, the challenges transgender people face. The post-event chatter was so positive participants have continued to reference the workshop.
