Liam Paschall

Associate Director / Senior Consultant of Management Development
Parexel International

I am an openly transgender man who lives my life “out loud”. I am a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Acceptance Consultant specializing in providing Transgender Education and Awareness and support to organizations of all sizes, schools, and individuals. I am also a Board Member for Trans Can Work, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to advancing workplace inclusion through innovative training strategies and workforce development. I am an Associate Director and Senior Consultant of Management Development at Parexel. Additionally, I work closely with Parexel's Patient Innovation Center to make clinical trials more diverse, equitable and inclusive. I was recently recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice and one of LinkedIn's Top 10 LGBTQ+ Voices. I speak openly, with passion and raw emotion, about the challenges I have overcome, including coming out late in life. In my mission to create a more inclusive world, I seek to change the world – one heart, one mind at a time. A dedicated servant to the trans community, I have an amazing ability to motivate and inspire others. I am happily married to my wife Jamie. We have a son and a daughter and live in North Carolina with our two dogs and three cats. One of my clients describes me best: “If you have an opportunity to hear Liam Paschall speak or hire him – don’t hesitate. Not because he’s funny (he is). Not because he knows his stuff (he does.) But because he’s the kind of empathetic, generous, emotionally intelligent leader we need to hear more from. Work with him. You won't be disappointed.” This quote by Katherine Center is my philosophy in life, “You have to be brave with your life, so that others can be brave with theirs.”
