"Geffrye hosted an engaging and educational lunch and learn on the topic of allyship at our organisation. The talk was well received by all in attendance, and Geff’s knowledge and transparency made for a truly enjoyable session."

​

"Geff hosted an incredible educational event for our organisation, on the subject of allyship. The talk was informative, engaging and catered for everyone - whether they had previous knowledge on the subject or not. He gave us an overview on allyship and plenty of practical tips that we could take away with us. The event was a hit with all those that attended and we’d love to work with Geff again!"

Client

 

"Geffrye provided my organisation (global markets/ investment banking) with a tailored session on inter generational approaches to mental health and well-being with intersectional angles on minority experiences seamlessly woven in.

The content thoroughly researched with academic evidence. It was also precisely delivered, with purpose and audience impact at the forefront of Geff’s design. Geffrye also worked hand-in-hand with us to tie back to the firm’s tools and resources, while providing his own expert insights.

The feedback has been immediate and overwhelmingly positive across the board, from entry level colleagues to Executive leadership - I cannot recommend Geff highly enough as an expert keynote speaker and consultant."

“I would wholeheartedly recommend Geffrye to any organisation looking for a knowledgeable, authentic and impactful speaker who is able to inspire reflection, encourage action and create lasting change. His contribution to Capita has been significant, and the value of his sessions continues well beyond the events themselves.”

 

He is “a knowledgeable, authentic and impactful speaker who is able to inspire reflection, encourage action and create lasting change.

 

He combines deep expertise in diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging with practical, real-world examples that made complex topics accessible, engaging and highly relevant to colleagues at all levels.

 

Due to his leadership experience, he is also very effective at speaking to senior and executive leaders around these topics.

 

What makes Geffrye particularly effective is his ability to bring learning to life. Rather than focusing solely on theory, he creates safe and engaging spaces for honest discussion, reflection and challenge.

 

His insights challenged leaders to think more deeply about how they enable different voices to be heard and how inclusive leadership can positively influence team performance, wellbeing and culture.”

 

“This has been the best session I have had in at least three years.”

"I asked Geffrye to join us at PSA London to share his talk on Inclusion for Pride Month. Speaking to a room full of speakers, especially via zoom is a challenge for anyone, but Geffrye was amazing. Great topic, relevant and poignant - and noted as a thoroughly nice guy too. Thank you Geffrye, you made a great difference!"

Client

 

"Geff's expertise and enthusiasm for education and change is impressive. His delivery style is engaging, it brings to life the practical insightful inclusion content he delivers."

Client

 

“What sets Geff apart is his deep knowledge and understanding of business, and how inclusion has to   be integral to support performance at the individual, team and organisational levels.

​

I'm not sure I have met another consultant who is better able to understand how to help organisations move beyond performative inclusion.”

Client

 

"I have worked with Geffrye on a few of our LGBTQIA+ conferences - and Geff is an incredible speaker! Very knowledgeable and engaging, he provided a really valuable contribution to our programme. Geff also chaired one of our events, and he very skilfully facilitated the discussions, making the day highly engaging and very smooth from the organiser's perspective! I highly recommend working with Geff, it has been a true pleasure.”

Client

 

"I've known Geff for many years and we recently worked with him on an inclusion event. The event was high profile and global; a collaboration with our Exec Committee and one of our key accounts.
Geff offered sage advice in development of the initiative, leveraged his network for additional support and provided compelling insights and meaningful takeaways during the event itself. Additionally, Geff continues to add value through sharing regular DEI updates and resources."

Client

 

"Geff spoke at an event I held in the City for various clients from prominent Financial Services companies and Investment Banks. Everyone who attended said they had learned something and would apply the advice in their every day. Geff was a pleasure to deal with and even assisted with elements of the event outside his required input, truly appreciated. I have worked with Geff a few times over the course of our careers and we will certainly do so again. Continue the good (and necessary) work Geff!"

Client
