(She/Her)

Hi, I'm Joanne Lockwood, and I am proud to champion the values of the Pride movement through my work as a keynote speaker, diversity and inclusion expert, and founder of SEE Change Happen. My experiences, both personal and professional, have shaped my unique perspective on LGBTQ+ inclusivity and equality, enabling me to connect with people on an emotional level and foster understanding and empathy. I am dedicated to sharing my insights and dynamic delivery with those who are eager to embrace the power of Pride within their organisations.

Through our conversations, I hope to inspire, empower, and spark meaningful change that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. Engaging in a thought-provoking discussion with me can be a transformative experience, opening doors to new possibilities and growth in the pursuit of true inclusivity. Don't let this opportunity pass you by; let's explore the vibrant colors of Pride and the power of diversity together.

Most booked talks for Pride 2026

Not sure what to choose? Here are three of our most popular talks for Pride 2026, which have been curated to ignite conversations and inspire action. Why not join us for the "Empowering Effective LGBTQ+ Allies in the Workplace" Lunch & Learn? We'll dive into ways to create a more inclusive environment, foster understanding, and celebrate the power of allyship. Or perhaps book our "Your Journey to Conscious Inclusion" Keynote Talk that promises to be an eye-opening experience that will challenge your preconceptions and help you embrace diversity in all its forms. We also offer our exclusive "One Transition, Two Perspectives" Fireside Chat. This talk serves as an intimate conversation about the transformative experiences of transgender individuals and their loved ones, providing a unique and powerful glimpse into their lives as told from the perspective of Joanne Lockwood and her wife, Marie Manley. We wholeheartedly believe that these engaging and thought-provoking events will encourage meaningful change and help your organisation achieve a greater inclusive culture for this year's Pride celebration.

Attend immediately! It is a well considered and brilliant executed training session and Joanne was engaging and inspiring throughout.
