About this listen

 Building inclusion through listening and learning.

In this episode, Joanne Lockwood (founder and CEO of SEE Change Happen, a DEI practice with a specialism in transgender awareness) talks to host Charlotte Otter about living and working as a trans woman.

Trans rights shifted in the UK with the Supreme Court ruling on 16 April 2025 that the legal definition of a woman was based on biological sex. Joanne, who holds a gender recognition certificate, describes her deep sense of disenfranchisement and loss of agency as a result of the ruling.

Joanne is a leader and spokesperson, CEO and founder, consultant, and mentor. She embodies the epitome of transformative change in the field of Inclusive Cultures. As a transgender woman in her late 50s, she is uniquely qualified to infuse authenticity and experience into the realm of diversity and inclusion.

She works with companies to help them shape their idea of inclusion and unlock the full potential of their workforce.

Joanne speaks from the heart about her transition and how living as a woman shapes how she sees and acts in the world.

This is a moving episode with a leader who's at the vanguard of the mission for transgender awareness and support.
