About This Training

Changing how we speak isn’t just about memorizing new words — it’s about rewiring the pathways our brains use every day. This interactive, self-paced course helps participants move beyond fear or hesitation and into confident, respectful communication with transgender and nonbinary people.

Led by educator and consultant Trystan Reese, this training blends neuroscience, storytelling, and practical tools to teach how to fluently use gender-neutral pronouns and affirming names, even when your brain wants to default to old habits. You’ll learn the Four Pillars of Identity to understand how gender works in context, the Three Steps to Retraining Your Brain for lasting change, and the ACM Tool for repairing trust when mistakes happen.

Through videos, reflection prompts, and brief quizzes, participants practice strategies that make inclusive language second nature — not performative or forced. You’ll leave with the insight, self-awareness, and tools to communicate with confidence and compassion in any setting.

Whether you work in healthcare, education, or corporate leadership, this course offers a practical, judgment-free way to strengthen cultural competence and show genuine respect for every person you serve.

Real reviews from Collaborate Consulting learners

  • The All Pregnant People training is SUPER INFORMATIVE.

    “I was starting at a near-zero place when it came to understanding the birth process for trans people. I'm sure I still don't know everything, but a lot of myths have been replaced with facts and a lot of unknowns are now known to me. It has been an absolute pleasure to learn from Trystan. I have found myself using this training often in my work around improving the birthing experience for families in my rural area. The videos, interviews, and knowledge checks were well thought out and enriching. I would recommend this training to anyone. Understanding more about each other is always worth doing.”

  • So eye opening!!!

    “This training was so eye opening for me. The pregnancy and birth experience is so special, every pregnant person should have the opportunity to feel safe and protected during this time.”

  • Must-see training

    “This is a must see training and I highly recommend to any and all birth workers. I really wish I would have gotten the opportunity to watch this training a long time ago. Trystan Reese is an extremely knowledgeable, talented and compelling speaker and story teller. I appreciate all the evidence and research that went into this, the resources provided, and the stories that were included of other trans and non-binary parents. Definitely worth the purchase.”
