About this listen

Matt Cameron is the CEO of LGBT Great and a member of the
board of directors at the Diversity Project. This podcast is being
released as a bonus add-on to the Pride Series 2025, as part of
our support of Pride 365, an important initiative supported by
LGBT Great.

Our conversation starts with Matt’s upbringing and his
extraordinary work ethic from a very young age – we hear about
the common thread of working with people that led to his career
start in recruitment sales.
His compelling interest in inclusion led to him spotting an opening
in the market for LGBT great, which he founded in 2019. In
discussing why inclusion is more important now than ever he
mentions the impact of current policies – such as the loss of
psychological safety at work, stalled career progression and
perceived corporate abandonment. He notes that transgender
colleagues are feeling this in particular today. In terms of setting
the tone as leaders he sets out a template for action – whereby
leaders should listen actively and create space for honest
dialogue (e.g. through running 10-minute “Pulse Listening Circles”
each month), reaffirm commitment with visible, values-led action
and embed inclusion into their talent and business strategy.
We end with some compelling calls to action from Pride365 to the
need to start with values - fairness, dignity, and respect and “it’s
not about ticking boxes. It’s about unlocking potential.”

Like LGBT Great Fiftyfaces Productions is committed to Pride
365. Thank you to Tom Soto and Latimer Partners for supporting
our 2025 Pride Series.
