Rikki Arundel is an entertaining Virtual/Keynote Speaker, Presentation Skills Coach and Diversity Expert, and was the founder of the UK and Ireland Professional Speaking Association.  Their career as a financial services technology speaker came to an abrupt end following their change in gender. Faced with considerable discrimination, Rikki completed a master’s degree in gender research and established themselves as one of the leading diversity and inclusion speakers in the UK, delivering keynote presentations and workshops on transgender awareness, unconscious bias and gender equality, including two successful TEDx talks. Rikki draws extensively upon their own experience and that of the many trans and non-binary people they have helped and supported over the past 20 years and was recently awarded the prestigious PSAE (Speaker Hall of Fame) award.
