Media Spotlights

Congratulations to 2024 Fearlessly Authentic Leadership Awards Honoree, Rex Wilde, who initially started their career in the non-profit space but made an intentional choice to switch to the corporate and private sector to make a bigger impact as a non-binary LGBTQIA+ speaker and educator. Take a look at this interview where they discuss their journey, and their 4 pillars model for transgender workplace inclusion.

Rex joins Alex Cohen on Inside the Issues to discuss the current state of Pride month, how corporations can ensure their actions are in alignment with the needs of the greater LGBTQ+ community, rainbow-washing, and more.

“We need to make sure a company’s actions are in alignment with their values, including what they’re showing publically.”

Rex shares their professional journey, from early advocacy in their undergraduate years to founding a consulting firm that addresses the unique challenges faced by the TGX+ community. They discuss the importance of trans-inclusive education, policy development, and ongoing assessment to ensure effective inclusion.

Rex joined the Daily Kos Equity Council programming committee on a panel of experts to discuss how to identify and fight against our implicit biases as individuals, teams, and organizations. Check out the video and transcript here.

Rex joins the Experian Small Business Matters Podcast to talk about LGBTQ+ visibility in entrepreneurship and best practices for TGX+ workplace inclusion.

“The reality is that a lot of people haven’t had direct exposure to individuals who are trans, non-binary, or gender expansive. They might not always know what the cultural norms are, or what’s appropriate in terms of language, pronouns, or how to ask the right questions… we need education to create understanding.”

Rex joins the Out Agenda on KPFK to discuss their new trans inclusion learning series on LinkedIn along with tips for inclusion of TGX+ individuals and communities.

“The more that language develops and the more that individuals take agency of being able to define themselves by their own terms, the more that we are seeing folks come out as gender fluid and nonbinary because they finally have the language for it and can finally see themselves.”
